Conservative Outrage Over Obama Using Marines For Umbrella Service!

Conservatives are upset over the president using Marines to help himself and the Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan out of the rain. The president was making a speech in the Rose Garden during a rain storm.

Seriously, this is one of the many "non-stories" I happen to click upon when I look at That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall Hoping It Will Stick. I mean even Talking Points Memo, a liberal agitating blog went out their way to even cover this waste of time.

First things first, President Barack Obama is the Commander-and-Chief of the U.S. Military.

He is the top commander of the United States Armed Forces. He orders Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to direct the army, navy, air force, the coast guard, and the marines. The president is the overseer of the lives of those civilians who volunteer their service for the safety of our nation and allies abroad.

Nothing will satisfy the conservatives.

Here's where the phony outrage and word vomit starts.

Some conservatives are calling into to question if the president violated the Marine protocol for allowing military usage during press conferences.

The Daily Caller (known as The Daily Nothing) pushes the conspiracy about the abuse of political power.

The Daily Nothing reports that 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 carry 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.


They claim that 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.

Okay, so the president (the leader of the United States and commander of the United States Armed Forces) has to get approval from a member of the Marine Corps?

Yeah right!

This is an example of the ankle biting nonsense the conservative agitators waste their time on. I would rather they spent their time on trying to win back an audience of voters who mostly despise them as a bunch of racist idiots who sole goal is to destroy President Barack Obama.

“I am going to go ahead and ask folks, why don’t we get a couple of Marines – they’re going to look good next to us – just because I’ve got a change of suits but I don’t know about our prime minister,” President Barack Obama said as two Marines appeared at the podiums with umbrellas. “There we go. That’s good.” He gestured to the soggy press corps, adding, “You guys I’m sorry about.”

Scandalous Hat TrickMr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. Today in... fb.me/zAZryzjj

And apparently the half-term former Loserville resident would take to Twitter to express her outrage about how the American president would make our troops hold his umbrella.

Good grief.
