Critics took exception to President Barack Obama’s less-than-official-looking salute as he came off Marine One in New York.

The president traveled to attend the 2014 United Nations General Assembly meeting.

Video posted on the White House Instagram account showed Mr. Obama offering a salute with a cup of coffee still in his right hand.

The gesture quickly gained criticism, especially on Twitter when the #lattesalute hashtag emerged as a trending topic for supporters and critics alike, with some paying homage to a salute by President George Bush that also created a stir.
