Why did 0bama force a marine to hold an umbrella and shield him from the slight drizzle?

The reason people are questioning it is because it is against the Marine Corp uniform code for a Marine to hold or carry an umbrella while in Dress Uniform. Obama made him and the other Marine holding an umbrella for Erdogan violate that code, they could face non-judicial punishment for it.

I'm sure that they could have found a couple white house interns to hold umbrellas for them.

I don't know, maybe to stop him getting wet!!!

The Republicans should investigate this to see what the President actually knew, did he give the order or not, did those marines act under his direct instruction or did Hilary have something to with it, we need to really need to get to the bottom of this don't we...........LOL!!!!

I don't know who is Dumber! Republicans or their supporters, judging by this post I would say their supporters definitely have the edge!!!

The Hand Held Chariot was being repaired.

That marine that held that umbrella has more integrity in his little than you will ever have. That is why he held that umbrella.

So what. Bush had two marines. Obama deserves the same treatment Bush got. Jerk.

Seriously? This is one of the sillier conservative freakouts.

by talking about this you cons are admitting the other "Scandals" are BS, correct?

So he wouldn't get wet.

UmbrellaGate!!!

He'd melt if he got water on him.
