My Comment: What caught my attention was President Obama's lapel badge .... President Obama, Commander in Chief.
I know who he is, and I know that as President he is also Commander in Chief .... but why wear a lapel label saying what everyone in the room knows. I don't know .... maybe it is just me .... but I have never before seen a President of the United States walk around with such a lapel label ..... after all .... YOU ARE the President, and if someone cannot recognize you .... well then .... it is they who have the problem.

The local troops gave it to him. Probably some conservatives who then alerted you or somebody who they knew would bring it to your attention.
Nothing will ever replace Bush landing on a carrier followed by his appearance before the "Mission Accomplished". Nothing
Not making a political statement .... I just find it goofy.
Not sure that is a gift from a local command. Those usually have that local commands insignia on it vice Air Force One. Regardless, it is still goofy.

I think Rob nailed it.
It looks goofy there

LOL Thank you Rob .... oldfatslow is right .... that also looks goofy.
But then again .... I need not remind my readers that I grew up in the former Soviet Union, and our leaders always liked to look like this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8bEdZGbBsg0/SrZCyVgqbEI/AAAAAAAAIAs/uoOHoTaXoh8/s400/BREZHNEV.jpg
