There was a television on in the waiting room at the VA and this was on. A kind of stunned silence swept over the waiting room when that happened. You could almost here the collective WTF going through everyones head.

Only women are authorized to carry umbrellas while in the appropriate uniform. Specifically: “UMBRELLAS. Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.”

Are we really at a point where a world leader, or senior leader can’t simply hold an umbrella in one hand and continue to speak? Is that so beneath the office? Is this a monarchy or a republic. Sigh…

Oh for fuck’s sake…..those are Marines, not butlers you grandstanding fuckstick! This dude is so damn tone deaf it’s not even funny. This would never have happened under any other President. I can’t even express how pissed off I am!

meanwhile in Vicenza the 173rd Abn had an Uncasing Ceremony signaling the full return of the Brigade from Afghanistan. In the pouring rain, where they all stood out in that pouring rain, in formation, no snivel gear….. not a single umbrella was seen.

It amazes me that this administration would have so…oh, who the fuck am I kidding. No, I’m not really surprised by this. Treating MARINES, or any service member like this, is unfathomable. Semper Fi, Marines–you had a whole lot more self-control standing there than I would have.

Commendations to those Marines. The President shows his utter lack of respect for them and still they stand in the rain and protect him from the elements.

Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol
 
4:28 PM 05/16/2013

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 allows a male Marine to carrying an umbrella.
 
Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal.

The relevant portion of the regulation reads, “3035. UMBRELLAS (Female Marines). Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.”
 
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 the Marine Corps Manual.
 
The Marine Corps Manual, the guidebook that defines protocol for officers and enlisted Marines, in section 2806 paragraph 2, specifically states “The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, published by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, shall be binding on all Marines. No officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.”

You're overstating things.  I agree 33 is probably going to point out everything the man does wrong, but that doesn't mean people cannot talk about "small" things that the man does wrong.  Nobody is calling this a scandal.  It's not a major event.  It doesn't deserve Congressional hearings.  It's just a moment where the president disrespected a couple of men in uniform.

careful about using that word nonstop.  it'll lose all impact.  benghazi is a scandal.  This is just obama being an ill-mannered idiot. 

cause calling this a scandal means everyone forgets about the illegal shit.  He and the marine are having a beer to fix umbrella-gate next week (thanks to Rush using his airtime to scream about this) and all the other issues go away.

I almost think this was INTENTIONAL lol.  Just to get people yelling about this and not the illegal shit.  Repubs buy right into it.

'It Made Him Look Like A Butler': Retired General Blasts Obama For Ordering U.S. Marine

'It made him look like a butler': Retired general blasts President Obama for ordering U.S. Marine to break military rules by holding an umbrella The President unwittingly forced two U.S Marines to break protocol and regulations as he ordered them to use umbrellas Former United States Air Force Lieutenant Thomas McInerney criticized the President for making the officers look like butlers

By DAVID MARTOSKO, JAMES NYE and DANIEL BATES 16 May 2013

President Obama humiliated the marine who he asked to hold his umbrella by making him ‘look like a butler’, a respected military general claimed today. Thomas McInerney, a former United States Air Force Lieutenant General, said that the President showed a ‘lack of respect’ by making the soldier shelter him from a shower. He also said that the President has plenty of aides so did not understand why one of them could not have held the umbrella.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake.

So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons and pulling the levers that got him out of tight spots before. “Folks” and “I” and “me” and “my” — stop!

The magic is gone, his act thin enough to say, as he recently did about Benghazi, that “there’s no there there.”

Standing under an umbrella held by a Marine, Obama looked simultaneously imperious and small, no match for the rising tide of scandals swamping his presidency. At a moment that demanded genuine resolve, his answers were evasive, especially about whether he knew the IRS was politically profiling conservative groups. His response, that “I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the [inspector general] report,” wasn’t even an artful dodge.

Serious trouble could be ahead if the president can’t give a straight answer to “What did you know and when did you know it?”

Similarly, his attempt to duck the Benghazi fallout by suggesting that Congress didn’t commit enough money for security, was, like his earlier bids to escape responsibility for the attack, preposterous and misleading.

Where did I suggest he not follow orders? I said it's pretty damn disrespectful of the President to use the Marine Presidential Guard to hold a fucking umbrella for him, just so his pansy ass doesn't get wet.

disrespectful? wow, for the world's "toughest hardened soldiers", you guys sure have thin skins. this is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. regardless of whether you agree or disagree with his politics, holding an umbrella for him should be an honor, especially for someone who supposedly swears an oath to him.

i swear only american servicemen are this fucking entitled, in literally any other country this would be a non-issue.

and what the fuck kind of sexist pig bullshit is it that servicewomen can hold an umbrella but servicemen can't? and then you wonder why everyone else thinks usa is an ass-backwards country.

Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol
 
4:28 PM 05/16/2013

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 allows a male Marine to carrying an umbrella.
 
Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal.
 


Ads by Google
 


The relevant portion of the regulation reads, “3035. UMBRELLAS (Female Marines). Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.”
 
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 the Marine Corps Manual.
 
The Marine Corps Manual, the guidebook that defines protocol for officers and enlisted Marines, in section 2806 paragraph 2, specifically states “The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, published by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, shall be binding on all Marines. No officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.”

Really?

And yes, I know we follows his orders as CiC, but its not an honor for any warrior to hold an umbrella for any man, regardless of what his title is. And IMHO, its disrespectful as hell to order your warriors to hold an umbrella over your head, especially when they have aides specifically paid to do that.

A Marine's response to the Presidential umbrella umbrage







 
I thought the reaction to this photo was interesting:



Yes, the President of the United States of America had a boot Corporal hold an umbrella for him while he gave a speech.
 
The reactions were interesting because people let their political butthurtedness flow into their opinions on the matter. People seem to forget that we’re Marines, and this is exactly the kind of shit that Marines do. Somehow, holding an umbrella for the President and the Turkish Prime Minister is seen as demeaning, while all of the other bullshit that Marines do every day is not. I find it entertaining to see Marines on my Facebook page saying things like, “I would have told him to fuck off and hold his own umbrella.”
 
No you wouldn’t.

Shut up.

We’re Marines, if the President of the fucking United States asks you to hold a fucking umbrella, you hold a fucking umbrella. As well, the day I give a shit about a boot Corporal holding an umbrella is the day I’ve forgotten what the Marine Corps is. Honestly, holding an umbrella for the President is probably the least demeaning thing I could imagine doing as a Marine, as opposed to the other bullshit I had to do every day. No one would think twice about asking a boot to police call cigarette butts across the entire base at 5am, but the minute this boot has to hold an umbrella for the Commander in Chief, people get upset.
 
He’s the President, he rates an umbrella.

Obama has earned every ounce of disdain heaped on him by his actiions.  He has lied, deceived, and been as bad if not worse than W at his worst

Care to explain the level of disdain he enjoyed before getting a chance to screw things up?

If W's lying about weapons of mass destruction isn't worse than an umbrella..... send the President a bill for all the space he's occupying in your mind. :)

Combined that with the ignorant nut job umbrella backfire and you guys are batting 1000 in the retard Olympics.

All I need to do is spend an hour or two looking into it and I would would know 10 times more than you do, simply beucase I can separate bull shit spin designed for the lowest common republican sheeple from actual fact.  Because you are not near smart enough.

Face facts 333333, your retard bunch was humiliated With your landslide predictions, OB is not running crap, Sherrif Joe and Donald Trump incredible evidence, Birthers in general.  You have been wrong with just about everything.

You are an angry broken down bunch constantly  crying.  Good thing for you there is controll c and v.

Obama pretty much dictates 99% of your daily activity.  The difference between those Marines and you is that they actually earn a paycheck for giving him their attention.

If all you got to whine and cry is an umbrella, then you ain't got shit.

If that wasn't the case Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden wouldn't have voted in favor of going to war with Iraq. Or are they as naive as you?

I see no point giving a stupid thread thoughtful responses. That was made that clear earlier.

My guess is Hillary Clinton wanted to look capable of using military force because she wanted to be president. Biden said he would have never voted for the use of military force knowing what a mess things would have been.

i honestly don't get this military worship and entitlement that goes on exclusively in america (and is a fairly recent thing, too). in countries with compulsory service, it's seen as a service industry with a high turnover as something for younger people to go through and make some money while at the same time serving a purpose (maintaining national defense), similar to the food service industry. you are serving the people, not the other way around. and the uniform doesn't carry some god-tier status because everyone had to do it.

but here anyone that passes basic is automatically a rock star that wants peasants to bow down before them. plus you get free college and pension and crazy real estate benefits, people all flock to the military for all the wrong reasons, you get too many careerists trying to make a job out of it, minorities looking to make a quick buck, etc. no wonder the US military is so terribly inefficient and mismanaged and plagued with crime and gang problems.

plus it creates a huge divide between the civilian and military worlds. all the while the government tries to take the civilians' guns, making that alienation even deeper. whatever happened to "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state..."?

honestly i think they should just bring back compulsory service, or if not that than at least make everyone pass basic. then you wouldn't have such a fucking huge obesity problem, and such a huge limp-wristed liberal anti-gun pussy protectionist culture, and such a hardcore neo-con military glamorization culture.

I think you're completely backwards with my point here. We do look at it like we serve the citizens, because we do. As a matter of fact, I would have no problem holding an umbrella for an elderly woman.
I don't elevate politicians of any sort to any sort of status. Why would I hold them in higher regard than the citizens they are elected to represent? I'm sorry that I wouldn't feel honored to be ordered to hold an umbrella for a man who just happened to be elected president.

well because you swear an oath to him, don't you?

besides, it's not the man himself but the office and what it represents. i fucking HATE obama with a passion but if he asked me to hold an umbrella for him, i'd do it in a heartbeat. it's patriotic. biden on the other hand can go fuck himself.

Video || Obama Forgets to Salute Marine
by Keith Koffler on May 24, 2013

Uhhhh boy. And he was on his way to give the commencement address at Annapolis.

President Obama Friday morning forgot to salute the Marine who ceremonially stands guard as the president boards his helicopter. Instead, merrily chomping his Nicorette, Obama sauntered past the man and hopped up the steps to the chopper.

I’ve never seen this happen in 15 years covering the White House.

Someone clearly noticed, or Obama remembered, and he came back out and shook the Marine’s  hand. Which I’ve also never seen.

Would someone really need a crystal ball or intelligence to be right at guessing a politician was corrupt?

I told you all something was wrong before the primaries, LOL! When I told friends something was off they all thought it was cynicism, being conservative, or just breaking balls. Without a doubt, he and I have very different ideas about exercise of my freedoms and the direction America should go in. My amusement with 333's jihad stems from the fact that he never once posted anything substantive to back up the initial paranoia.

Another part of the problem is people aren't honest with themselves about the extent to which the President's race affects their perception on some issues. That's very different than actually being racist, but not for political means. I'm hopeful, though: In 20, 30, 40, or 50 years the conditions may actually exist for us to consider thinking about discussing race. :)

It was patently obvious he was going to be President the moment McCain/Palin was announced. We all knew they never had a chance, LOL!

Also, foreign policy ain't great, but WWIII is a disaster.  What we are seeing today is business as usual for the last 40 years dude.

Would someone really need a crystal ball or intelligence to be right at guessing a politician was corrupt?

I told you all something was wrong before the primaries, LOL! When I told friends something was off they all thought it was cynicism, being conservative, or just breaking balls. Without a doubt, he and I have very different ideas about exercise of my freedoms and the direction America should go in. My amusement with 333's jihad stems from the fact that he never once posted anything substantive to back up the initial paranoia.

Another part of the problem is people aren't honest with themselves about the extent to which the President's race affects their perception on some issues. That's very different than actually being racist, but not for political means. I'm hopeful, though: In 20, 30, 40, or 50 years the conditions may actually exist for us to consider thinking about discussing race. :)

It was patently obvious he was going to be President the moment McCain/Palin was announced. We all knew they never had a chance, LOL! That week I was teasing some black members (through PM) here about how bad it was going to be for white people to see him as President. It would have been great if I was wrong about that one, too. :)

You don't need a crystal ball, but 33 was out in front of most people about this guy.  He has actually posted a lot of facts to back up the allegations of corruption and incompetence.  

I don't agree about the race stuff.  We elected an unqualified half black man president.  Then we reelected an unqualified half black man with a horrible record.  And then if you look at how the media coddled him, and the percentage of the white vote overall that he got in this country, I think the race issue is out the window.  

I talk to a lot of people about politics and about the president and race is not a factor.  I know that's anecdotal, but I think my experience is probably consistent with what happens across the country.  Yes there are bigots out there, but racism isn't the reason people don't like the man.  He's just a lousy president.

If people can spend a few million dollars digging and only find parking tickets and cigarette smoking: The bodies are buried very deep or you're dealing with someone weird. The whole perspective that we're exercising our freedoms too selfishly is pretty common among liberals and doesn't make him special or unique in any way.

Race is a part of people's perspective but that doesn't mean everyone is racist/bigoted. He's more hated than Clinton, LOL!

In the bigger picture, it's not really going to matter much. We're screwed for a while and there's no getting around that.

It wasnt only parking tickets and smoking!!!! 

See - that is what is so maddening about people who didnt see this train wreck for what it was from Day 1.  Obama has ALWAYS been a radical community agitator who combines radicalism, incompetence, laziness, and delusions of greatness making him into the disaster I knew he would be from Day 1. 

Yeah - starting your career in politics in the living room of Bill Ayeres is no big deal.   ::)  ::)  ::)

It was much more than cigarette smoking.  You should read more about his background.  Or watch 2016:  Obama's America. 

He's not more hated than Clinton.  Republicans were frothing at the mouth over Clinton.  I'm sure I probably posted this on here somewhere, but someone wrote an article actually accusing Clinton of being the Antichrist.  They accused Clinton of murdering political opponents.  People are all over Obama now, but it's based on his record, not some allegation that he was killing people.  Not really much of a comparison IMO.

I agree we are screwed.

Whatever - Obama has always been best at fooling people at just how radical he is underneath the fluff, the flowery bs, the racial guilt he heaps on people, etc. 

It still works with the drooling general public

Oh, please, go ahead and tell us how 3333 was wrong about Obama being an unqualified community organizer who has been an unmitigated disaster.

No? He hasn't been a failure? Please do tell how anything he has done will have a lasting positive effect on the country. This ought to be good.

#17 on being wrong on me voting for Obama.

Like I've said before, I lost all hope in america when Bush Jr got re-elected. No surprise from that point on. What I find really really ridiculously cute  is how people like you still exist that think it matters who is in the oval office.  ::)

Don't understand why most people on this forum hate on government work. In my area of the US (north-east) it's a good way to go unless you are an Alpha earning high six-figures or even seven figures. With the international economy and continuing consolidation of wealth in this country, the only people who are going to benefit in the private sector are the Alphas. Betas, which are most people, are better off finding, if they can, good government jobs with benefits.

I never understand why a guy in my area making $150 - $250K working 60+ hours a week in the private sector with no pension or decent benefits hates on a cop or teacher making $100K+ with benefits. The private sector dope has a lot more in common with the cop/teacher than the Alphas who are running the company he's working for, or moving money around in some hedge fund, and making multiple seven-figures.  

The Alphas also don't get caught up in this ideological political BS. They spead their money around to politicians of both parties and make sure their interests are protected. It's kind of laughable how heated some of you guys get about this stuff. The guys at Goldman and similar places who actually run things? They just worry about keeping the money flowing up to them. They don't worry about all these meaninglesss BS issues. They're out in the Hamptons in their multi-million dollar houses hosting the politicians u think actually buy in to this ideological BS.

because most of them are lazy, overpaid slobs that don't deserve anywhere near 100k+ with benefits. maybe if you're swat or something, ok. but a government teacher? gtfo here. if anything they should be making negative money for all the young minds they're corrupting with their bullshit.

I'm not defending Obama. My position is it doesn't matter who is in the oval office. Politicians are politicains. Bush Jr was no better. Having said that, my house is worth more than it was in 2008 and my retirement account is looking pretty good. Folks I know who were out of work are back at work. Would have likely happened if Donald Duck was elected but I can't ignore it

However, I think the rest of your post may have more to do with Texas' policies more than the federal governments policies. Having lived in Texas until last year, and then mpvong back to Washington, I can tell you that Texas is/was doing a bit better than most of the rest of the states.
