Take a look at this picture from Friday, April 29th. President Obama is greeting Brig. Gen. Ed Wilson after Air Force One landed at Cape Canaveral:

Seems pretty ordinary, right? A typical tarmac greet for the Commander-in-Chief.
But there may be a little more to the brief moment at the bottom of the airstairs.
The state-owned Italian television channel Rai News has posted a video that highlights a curious exchange between the two men:
(h/t Drudge Report)
Rai News captions their YouTube video this way:
The italian channel Rainews discovered an exchange of two small pieces of paper between President Obama and General Wilson when on April 29 the American President, few hours after he gave the order to kill Osama Bin Laden, landed at Cape Canaveral airport. While shaking hands with the general President Obama passed a small piece of paper and received another one in exchange.
Let’s break it down by a few freeze frames.
Here Obama makes the initial move to have the note/paper/item in his hand:
He then positions it to pass to Wilson:
Wilson stretches out his hand to receive the item:
Obama places the item in Wilson’s hand:
Here’s a close-up from the actual AP photograph of that moment:

Wilson then moves to retrieve his item for the President:
Here comes the pass:
Pass complete, Obama moves to place the item in his pocket:
Slick.
So far the “challenge coin” theory is leading in comments. Thoughts?

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 5:11pmThe only reason anyone assumes that he passed him a paper comes from the Italian reporters suggestion that it was “piece of paper”. You can only tell that something was passed by their hand motions… the camera doesn’t catch the actual item. If it wasn‘t challenge coin and people aren’t just poking fun, then what possible reason would a President have to need to pass a secret note to one of his own generals?
I’m thinking Obama thought he was just tipping the chauffeur.

Both are fat idiots (although Trump takes the lead here). And what is Obama slipping to the General ?? Who cares.

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 3:51pmMight this have been an exchange of coins? We have a tradition in the military where you exchange your coin during the hand shake. All military commanders have a Wing coin which they exchange with honored guests. What I see on all of the videos reminds me of the exchange of a commorative coin. I know the President proabably has a challenge coin and I’m sure the Space Wing commander has one…
Like SEAGOINGHERO states above… this is an exchange of challenge coins and there is nothing sinister here going on. I have done this little exchange many times.

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 10:00pmAll flying squadrons I was a part of had a unit coin. If you saw a squadron mate and he/she took out their coin you had x amount of time to produce yours or you had to buy a round of drinks, dinner was on you, whatever. Every commander I have worked for has had a challenge coin. A couple of commanders had two due to their position and/or responsibilities. Any one who has been in the military in recent years knows of this tradition. Every coin I have been given was passed to me via a hand shake… in one case two because this commander had two coins.
Report Post »Many military members and civilians collect coins like those who collect patches. One individual I know had a rack of 60 millitary coins behind his desk because he traveled a lot and saw many units. I still carry two of my unit coins with me even though I have long since retired. Don’t read more into this than required. The Italian reporter may not know of this challenge coin “pass through a handshake” tradition. Here is a novel idea… Why doesn’t some one just call the office of this commander and ask? My bet is he gave the President his Wing coin and will laugh himself sick when he finds out why people are asking him the question.

They are exchanging coins. Most military commands have a unit coin. Most unit commanders have their own personal coin. These are often given away as a reward for a job well done, or traded.

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 11:30pmYou got that right it is used a lot in Chicago and thought nothing of. I wonder what had to be passed like that between the President and the General, why could they just have a brief meeting or step aside if there was info that needed to be shared. Humm, it could not have been info, must have been some type of bribe. Or maybe love notes.

Posted on May 8, 2011 at 12:23amThis seems innocuous enough…….I’ll go with the exchange of collector coins. Okay.
But….PLEASE….is this really what the leader of the free world (or what used to be the free world) and our military leaders do???? I’m even more afraid now…….

Posted on May 8, 2011 at 9:35amThey are generally Presidential cuff links, AF1 items and in exchange he gets challenge coins, etc. Nothing here, move along. Oh and I really dont like the man child. Just stating normal facts.

Posted on May 8, 2011 at 2:10pmAs a retired Air Force NCO, I would hazard a guess and say it was a challenge coin swap! Don’t get the idea I am defending Obummer, I despise him and everything he stands for or believes in, but I think they’re grasping for straws there!!

Posted on May 8, 2011 at 4:05pmI saw this one but I also saw another one just the other day. He had his hand in his left pocket and he usually comes off the planes with both hands at waist and arms bent (kinda weird) When he went to shake hands with the man in camo , not dress uniform(not sure who he was) he passed off a piece of paper to him.

Posted on May 8, 2011 at 4:05pmIt worked in Chicago, why not elsewhere ? We all know by now that BHO is an unconventional President, it’s part of his “ fundamental transformation of America”. Hey, he’s the Commander-in-Chief of all USA military forces, he doesn’t have to obey the rules of “chain of command ”. Rules are for eveybody else, not for this POTUS. Don’t we know that by now ?

Happens all the time. Admirals, generals, and government officials all have their own personal coins and exchange them or hand them out. I got one from Colin Powell when i met him on New Year’s in New York and one from Sec. of Defense Gates when he visited my command.
