Notice his gray hair comes and goes in accordance to the drama required per the situation? Happy days, no gray, SHTF and out comes the gray Ron Popeil hair spray paint.
Maybe he had to have the umbrella to keep the gray from running down his face.

MARINE CORPS UNIFORM REGULATIONS
CHAPTER 3: UNIFORM ITEMS AND REGULATIONS FOR THEIR WEAR
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.
NOTE* Male Marines are NOT allowed to carry umbrellas under USMC Uniform regs!
He has Marines hold umbrellas, BUT did not send Marines to help in Benghazi.

A member of the military held an umbrella over Mrs. Reagan during her husbands funeral. I guess you missed the Mrs. part. At a funeral no less of someone the member likely respected.

Yeah - he'll say "I" have troops in harm's way... then turn around and say that he's not responsible for them being there.
This whole episode just underscores how he views the military - as a tool to fulfill his needs; nothing more.
We here believe otherwise. The President should be holding the umbrella for those who protect him.

A guy whose son was on Marine Presidential detail for most of his enlistment told me that his son had since become a raging leftist.
The indoctrination must be deep.

This is what happens when the education system in America advances liberalism, the media are one-side and the zombie yoots play with their gadgets and receive updates through pop culture venues. As we are pissed by important events such as the IRS scandal and Benghazi, we have Americans who don't know, don't care or are too self-centered to formulate a rational thought.

Re “...the Marine holding an Umbrella stance??”
I think they were holding their off hand over their stomachs to keep from puking.
Servile White Dhimmies being forced to demonstrate their servitude to a couple of ruling Muslim supremacists.
How long before it gets hot out and they have to wave ostrich or peacock feather fans over their masters to keep them cool, like Pharaoh’s slaves had to do?
I hope that both of these Marines have an opportunity to serve on a firing squad some day... just sayin’....

It’s too bad that there’s no way to check the weather and know that it might rain before you do an OUTSIDE press conference..
