RAIN: "HOLD MY UMBRELLA" BENGHAZI: "STAND DOWN"

President Barack Obama is having the worst week ever. On top of three erupting scandals, the IRS targeting conservative groups, AP wiretapping, and Benghazi whistle blowers, he stepped into another. He was pictured at a rainy press conference with the Prime Minister of Turkey.

We don't think Marines should be holding umbrellas in the rain.

#semperdry

Two U.S. Marines were forced to hold an umbrella over the heads of state after the White House requested it, to keep Obama dry while he talked with the press. Never mind the staffers who are supposed to assume this role, Obama wanted another good photo op and ordered the Marines to hold the umbrellas.

Marines are taught in basic training to NEVER carry umbrellas when in their Dress Blue Uniforms. Twitter and Facebook are blowing up with people mocking Obama for yet another bumbling failure of leadership.

The scene would be comical if not for the very serious subtext: Why are the Marines good enough to hold an umbrella to keep Obama's head dry, but not good enough to respond to an ongoing terrorist attack in Benghazi where the lives of our diplomats are at stake?

When Special Forces teams in Tripoli wanted to come to the rescue of Ambassador Chris Stephens and others, they were told "stand down," but when it starts raining at the White House, Obama says "hold my umbrella."

Thanks for posting this Syncro, have 2 sons that are former Marines, they will not care for this.
I also think Obama knew what he was doing, he is such an arrogant wimp.

It’s always about who “serves” his majesty.....he has zero respect for anyone or anything IMO....no clue about simple protecol let alone rules...there are none for him.

Remember it’s His Whitehouse..His Military..His Presidency..His Adminisration..His Policies....and he never ever mentions “our country”...that too is “His”!

[caww]

He has no respect for “Our” Military...none zip-Zero...Nor our country, or it’s people. I detest him sooooooo!!!!!

The day he is gone will be a day of great celebration!..it can’t come too soon!

[caww]

As usual the difference is night and day....in every way!A President and a fraud.

Excellent Photo shots!

[caww]

I miss so very much having leaders in our Government....God give us endurance till real leaders are in place once again!

The pictures show what a difference there is between a kenyan dictator and an American President.

Amen.
Please see the new photo I just posted.

Do you remember when he left the Capital after his first swearing in.
Walking down the Capital steps to the limo a Military guy opens the door, Obama puts his hand out to shake the guy’s hand and the Military guy steps back and salutes him.
He has no knowledge of the military at all.
Cannot find the clip, but it is seared in my memory.

I feel so awful looking at the expression on his face and the fact that he’s flanked by those stars & crescents, not the Stars & Stripes.

[caww]

That whole picture is just wrong!

[caww]

Will we ever have a President even close to him?

[onyx]

ROTFLOLOL

[onyx]

OH, YES!!!
He was entirely clueless.
Our military was (is) a foreign agency to him.

[petitfour]

Biden for President.
