Following the President’s unseemly “latte salute” – the Commander-in-Chief actually saluted a Marine with his coffee cup in hand – trouble was brewing for the Obama administration on news outlets and social media across the country. If you haven’t already seen it, refer to the video below.

The following are among the best reactions to the President’s coffee salute:

There were some clever headline rewrites:

It didn’t take long for someone to make a comparison to George W. Bush:

When considering today's #LatteSalute please also factor this in: @jrsalzman @exjon @Cameron_Gray @jimgeraghty pic.twitter.com/rsK6z0DnRz

And it continued:

It also didn’t take long for the public to come up with a nickname for the disrespect shown by Obama:

President Obama Gesture to Marines Dubbed "Latte Salute" –Hey, at least he saluted http://t.co/rEXD1VDxGG

Then there were those who came up with their own nickname for the act of disrespect:

This is how the commander in chief salutes Marines. Semper Latte they're calling it. I call it absolutely shameful. http://t.co/EnUPdRS0vf

Surprisingly enough, there were liberals who took issue with it:

I'm not one to jump over shit like this, and I'm liberal. But very poor moment for Prez Obama today. Not cool. http://t.co/mVwS6xslFq

Congressional candidate Dan Bongino posted a poignant reminder for the President:

This guy really puts it into perspective:

A well-reasoned take on the disrespect shown:

Why defend saluting a US Marine w/ a coffee cup? It's disrespectful. Is it the end of world? Nope. But Disrespectful? Yup.

A very good observation from one observer:

Strangest part of the casual coffee cup salute Instagram is that it was released…by the White House. http://t.co/AoHjj6dUkf

And, of course, there were those who dragged George W. Bush into it in a pathetic attempt to make excuses for Obama:

As you would expect, there’s never a shortage of excuses from the left:

It didn’t take long for someone to set the liberal loon straight:

The bottom line is when it comes down to it, you should show the utmost respect for the men and women who would jump in front of a bullet for you:

Let’s make one thing clear, folks. This wasn’t a mere ‘slip of the tongue’ or off the cuff mistake. The Obama’s have ZERO respect for our military and for America. It has been seen time and again, in both his words and his actions. Simply put, Barack Obama and his wife are worthless pieces of shit and the presidency has been nothing more than a vacation since the day he took office.

I say it is impossible for a democrat/liberal to claim they’re a patriot or one who loves America because if there were a thread of truth to that claim, they never would’ve voted for a man such as Barack Obama.
