Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol
[Obama breaches Marine
umbrella protocol] "The commander in chief
of the American armed forces today forced a
violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he
wouldn’t get wet.
According to Marine Corps regulation MCO
P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform
Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not
allowed to carry an umbrella while in
uniform. There is no provision in the Marine
Corps uniform regulation guidelines that

Nevertheless, during a press conference

Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Why wouldn't the commander in chief, head of the armed forces, violate its protocol? He violates the constitution all the time and no one does anything about it..."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "When the President does it, that means that it's not illegal." ~ Richard M. Nixon
On second thought maybe the Marine had better hold it.

It's a tough job: "...I've still got 60,000-plus troops in Afghanistan, and I've still got a whole bunch of intelligence officers around the world who are in risky situations..." ~ Barack Obama
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "This

planned it..."
Tone-deaf, dumb and blind.
"The sad thing is..."
What makes you sad Barbie?
"...by bringing up stupid criticisms of the president, they deflect from the real issues concerning his admnistration [sic]. "Umbrellagate" makes people less willing to believe the other stories about the AP, or the IRS."
Do you want people to believe the other stories? Would that make you happy?
Response to comment [from a pagan]:
Ad hominem
How dare you have an opinion
on the matter.
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "The more they try to hype phony "scandals", the greater the inclination of rational people to listen to any scandals at all."
Talk about the corruption (e.g. Benghazi, AP, IRS, HHS, EPA, etc. [Am 8:5]). We're all ears.
Response to comment [from a Satanist]: "This isn't an issue. Marines are not allowed to carry umbrellas for their own use (female Marines may, in very limited circumstances), but they are authorized to carry out other duties as requested by the president."
It looks like his shoes need shining, too Satanist.

And I thought the
British Royal guards looked stupid.
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Barbarian chuckles..."
