The commander in chief of the American armed forces today forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he wouldn’t get wet.
According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.
Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal.
The relevant portion of the regulation reads, “3035. UMBRELLAS (Female Marines). Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.”

Koran trumps Constitution.
Whim trumps Regulations.
No more Law. Just Tyranny and NO DOCUMENTATION.

No different than Obama saying....”Kiss my shoes”. He just loves being Massa. Obama is rotten to the core.
To: onyx
What an ignoramus. And to claim he didn't know if the Turkish President had another suit. How embarrassing! He has no class, no conscience and no core. Eastwood was right.......nothing but an empty suit. (PS-If the flipping press conference had started on time, they wouldn't have been caught in the rain. But Obama has no respect for anyone else's time. Obama Flexible Standard Time is the only time that matters to him)

Just a wild guess - but that might be Reagan at Normandy, where he gave his great “Boys of Pointe Du Hoc” speech:
http://reagan2020.us/speeches/40th_anniversary_of_d-day.asp
“...These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.
Gentlemen, I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender’s poem. You are men who in your “lives fought for life...and left the vivid air signed with your honor….”

The last line of that joke is: Obama squeals with delight “open it, open it!”.
