UPDATE: More from the pool reporter:
Under gray skies and intermittent drizzle, President Obama boarded Marine One at 9:30 a.m. EDT in an open press event.
A few White House regulars were atwitter (and on Twitter) when the President walked directly up the steps of Marine One without saluting the Marine on duty. He soon came out of the helicopter, walked down the steps, shook hands with the Marine and engaged in a brief conversation.

Publius Prime 
O is a f’in turd
He is a disgrace to our Military, and to the United States. He thinks the whole world are his public servants even though he was elected as our public servant. He has no regard for the Military and what they have done and continue to do for our country. In my opinion he is the worst excuse for a president I have ever seen.
