Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol......Items not expressly delineated as authorized components of the Marine Corps uniform are prohibited. Male Marines are informed never to carry an umbrella from the earliest phases of training.Not even the President of the United States can request a Marine to carry an umbrella without the express consent of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, according to the Marine Corps Manual.Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/16/obama-breaches-marine-umbrella-protocol/#ixzz2eKFmxi9D
“Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas,” former Alaska governor Sarah Palin tweeted.
"Obama expects our troops to hold damn umbrellas rather than go inside: It's disrespectful, inconsiderate, classless," Lou Dobbs added over Twitter.
WAS IT AGAINST UNIFORM PROTOCOL FOR THE MARINE TO HOLD OBAMA’S UMBRELLA?
Given that the president is defined as the Commander in Chief “of the Army and Navy of the United States…” by the Constitution and that fact that the Marines’ dress code protocol says “the Commandant or higher authority” can authorize “articles that are not authorized for wear as a part of a regulation uniform,” is the president considered a commander with this ability?
Carl Mayo • 4 months ago −in and of itself, having someone hold an umbrella for you is a trivial thing.the real issue is what it says about the character of a president who would require such a thing. it speaks volumes about his attitude toward those who work for him, and about americans in general. it explains why he feels no embarrassment about taking endless expensive vacations on the taxpayer's dime. it explains why the benghazi embassy staff were expendable. it explains why he feels it's okay to send the irs after his political enemies.this simple act is an indicator of a deeper personality issue. it is a window into his soul, revealing a massive ego and a dangerous disdain for anyone who he feels to be beneath him.
Ya'll missed the point. It's a white man holding an umbrella for a black man. It doesn't matter that he's the president. We'll see if Lou Dobbs retracts his statement.

This guy is full of so much hate for the president that sometimes I think his head is going to explode. It is a hatred that's long and deep. And its NOT going to stop.
Ooops my bad, go Vikes.
I actually have the honor of teaching the Marine that is holding Obama's umbrella. Very nice guy, I think he's a Democrat. LOL! Seriously, he told me that while they try not to have photos taken , they provide "umbrella escort" to a lot of male high-ranking folk when they are going around downtown DC, between buildings.He also told me that for the photo in question, an aide actually put them on notice beforehand because the rain might be too much. He didn't think that Obama set this up at all.

Thank you SPC...
