You don't really think any O would refer to an NCO as an "Officer"...

Corporal was holding back ... I noticed that he did still have target acquisition, doesn’t Obama have a new Medal for that “Amazing Restraint” or some such thing

Having dealt with them too many times in the past it's hard to tell what any zoomie would do.

You alright with the Marine being called a soldier(sic) or do you give that gaffe a pass?

Nope - I would not insult a Marine that way.

0 is not fit to be on the same ground with that Marine. Even though the Marine was holding the umbrella, 0 clearly looked like the inferior one.

ah come on, “the One” can’t be expected to do three things at one time. (1) read teleprompter, (2) open mouth, (3) hold own umbrella. that would be expecting too much. ;)

‘I don’t understand why one of his aides could not have held the umbrella. The marine is a warrior but the aides are not.’

And what function do these warriors fill at the White House?

That young corporal there has accomplished more good in his brief life than Barry Benghazi 0zer0 ever will.

The President unwittingly forced two U.S Marines to break protocol and regulations as he ordered them to use umbrellas

Everything the witless does is done "unwittingly".

He belongs in a Witless Protection Program facility...but those were shut down by the courts decades ago.

I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. He had some very unappetizing photos taken of him a day or two earlier drenched by a rain shower. He wouldn’t allow that to happen again and by having the Marines hold the umbrellas he was advertising who is in charge.....him. Total narcissist.

It’s my understanding that it is acceptable for a Marine to hold an umbrella for a woman; so what’s the problem?
