As the hosts of “Fox and Friends” discussed the conservative outrage over President Obama’s “latte salute” Thursday morning, Bill O’Reilly swooped in to defend the president.
Fox played a clip of Obama saluting two Marine with a cup in his hand while stepping off of Marine One on Tuesday, which has been dubbed the “latte salute.”
“Latte salute,” O’Reilly said chuckling.
“I know a lot of people don’t like President Obama, but once in a while, you gotta cut him a little slack,” he said. “He didn’t mean anything malevolent about it.”
Host Steve Doocy wondered if people should at least be upset that Obama was holding a styrofoam cup.
And Elisabeth Hasselbeck was still pretty upset about it.
“But you understand why it’s bothering?” she asked.
O’Reilly said he realized why people were upset, but he added that, “in life, you don’t sweat the small stuff.”

When it comes to Republicans and Obama, it is ONLY about sweating the small stuff.
When Bill Orally is the voice of reason, you know the other voices are really fucked up.
It is remarkable how the spouse of a football player can suffer brain injury from his football days. I didn’t realize it could leap from one platform to another.

And that ladies and gentleman says all you need to know about the legitimacy of complaints from these people. I can’t imagine what its like to hate someone so much that anything that person does is cause for outrage.

So Doocy is an environmentalist now?
