    Anyone who's ever held an umbrella and tried speaking knows how difficult it can be.

    Umbrellas are useless. How often does rain fall straight down with no wind blowing it around?

    It may not even because of rain..
    maybe he doesnt want to get burnt in the sun?
    Maybe a flock of birds with bowel issues was caught on the radar?
    Maybe its a bullet proof umbrella?
    Maybe they're rehearsing a scene form Mary Poppins?
    Maybe his drinking buddy at the next podium insisted on it because he didnt want to be the only one with an umbrella?
    Maybe he just used that new hair spray paint to get rid of the grey? (presidents go grey quickly, you know!)
    Maybe he didnt want to get rain in that tiny little glass of vodka on the stand next to his leg?

    And last but not least, its Bush's fault. :P

    Following Saturday's tragic event, when President Bush was carried away to the Land of OZ by a strong gust of wind, the Secret Service vowed to never again allow a sitting President to hold their own umbrella.

    It would have been even sweeter if the glass of water had a cocktail umbrella in it. :D

    Or one could say how green the prez is by using rain water in his drinking glass.

    Do you or any of the others on here realize that the Marines have done this sort of thing for the president not for years, not for decades, but for CENTURIES!!!

    if you believe this sort of thing started with Obama then I'm also guessing you believe in the news you get from Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Fox News...

    oh wait

    I'm continually amazed at the things people want to get outraged about.

    Plenty of legit reasons to not like this president. Having a Marine hold an umbrella over his head during a press conference....not one of them.

    two things...

    1.) if i were the president of the united states of america or anything for that matter i would stand in the rain as i gave my little speech. i love, love, love rain. rain makes me about 1/2 hard. i miss living in western washington just because of all the rain & fog. (& all the kill green bud)

    2.) i'd be more than glad to hold the president's umbrella as i stand in the rain. however i do not wear marine outfits as i am a country fucking asshole & no soldier. i'll wear my trashed shorts & boots. thank you.


    i really, really, really super duper really miss walking in the rain & fog of the pacific northwest. the other night i was out in the rain two or three hours.

    I might be wrong about the umbrella holding but not wrong about what marines on the White House detail are epxected to do. Having had a friend who used to be on the White House detail I have some idea.

    And there is this....
    Regulations prohibit Marines from using umbrellas while in uniform. One reason: it makes it hard to salute.

    According to Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Greg Wolf, the sight of uniformed Marines holding umbrellas is "extremely rare" and only happened because the president needed it.

    And, of course, Obama is the commander-in-chief. If he orders Marines to hold umbrellas, they hold them, even if they can't properly salute.

    I'm sure its been going on for centuries and that every president has used a marine to hold and umbrella, it just looks arrogant. I would have thought the same if it was Slick Willie, Reagan, or JFK.
