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.hippiemom = goodness0 -
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.0 -
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.0

Yeah! Fuck this guy! Who the hell elected him anyway? I'll bet he even has someone cook his food! Next thing you know, he'll expect to be called "Mr. President"! What, are you too good for "boy" now, Mister President?
Good grief guys...I know you're all bored...I am too...but for fuck's sake...you're really, really, really reaching now. I thought there were 3 or 4 or 8 figurehead-toppling scandals out there, or are we done with those already?
Wait...before I 'submit,' was this thread started to make fun of all the sniping at Obama? If so, I heartily endorse it!1998-06-30 Minneapolis

It would have been even sweeter if the glass of water had a cocktail umbrella in it.
Or one could say how green the prez is by using rain water in his drinking glass.
I think this is why. I'd like the president to look presidential and it doesn't matter what party he is from. Maybe it was done to make his guest feel more comfortable too.
