Tempest over Obama's tea cup salute: Commander-in-chief sparks anger by saluting US Marines with drink in his hand

• President was exiting his Marine One helicopter after landing in New York City for speeches about global warming and fighting ISIS in Syria
• Commander-in-chief is a military title that entitles Obama to a salute, and he's expected to return the gesture
• On Tuesday he saluted two uniformed US Marines while holding a cup in his hand, a breach that won't win him fans among veterans or servicemen
• Twitter erupted with the president's indignant detractors
• The White House put a short video of his arrival in New York on its own Instagram page, creating a public gaffe that no photographer had shown
