The marine was not carrying an umbrella... he was holding it for his commander-in-chief.

Rules and protocol are for the little people. There's nothing new here - nothing has changed.

Still looked like a drowned rat though, didn't he?

Default FInally, President Obama calls in the Marines!

Looks like President Obama has finally had enough of people shoving us Americans around, killing our ambassadors, bombing and burning our consulates, attacking our troops all over the world, etc.

Today our Commander in Chief finally called in the finest fighting force our country has to offer: The United States Marines. And he gave them a job worthy of their long and honorable history of working the hardest, training the best, and fighting the toughest battles any enemy has been able to offer.

Yup, the military has his back, protecting him from a few sprinkles of rain, but he proved on 9/11 that he will not hesitate to leave everyone else to fend for themselves in a hail of bullets and mortars.

I can see it now:

"Daddy. What did you do during the war on terror?"

"Well son, I held an umbrella for the President of the United States."

According to proper Marine Corps protocol, a Marine is not allowed to hold an umbrella for another person, much less themselves.

SO - this is what it looks like when somebody must have that daily hit of outrage, and the dealer only has the weak stuff left...

You should probably watch the video. Because there's roughly a 5-second interlude between the President suggesting umbrellas and two Marines showing up with two identical, snappy umbrellas and deploying them smartly. No milling around, no confused looks, nothing.

I would gladly bet my last dollar that these guys were already briefed on the Marine Detachment Drill for umbrella deployment in anticipation of precipitation, inclement, minutes of. In fact, I'd gladly bet that they had spare umbrellas on hand in case of malfunction. Because that's how the USMC rolls.

Anyway, as we clearly have a case of recreational anger on our hands, I suggest "Brollygate". Any takers?
