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

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?

It's good for him it wasn't a Gaddafi "golf umbrella"....

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.

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

[Kickass Conservative]

Obama has two hands. He could use one to put his Thumb up his A$$ and he could use the other to hold the Umbrella.

He also said that the President has plenty of aides so did not understand why one of them could not have held the umbrella.

Oh, I can answer that question. Having one of his aides hold the umbrella would not have allowed the Dear Leader to show disrespect for the officer.
