Obama calls in Marines – To keep him and Turkish PM dry from rain. Well, he’s really not good with umbrellas, among other things.

  • Give Obama credit for not losing it. Can you imagine what the rain was doing to his teleprompter?

  • Bush could pilot an Aircraft, the medias called him a moron.

    Obama can´t even use an umbrella, yet not even a wet fart from them.

  • Apparently it violates standing Marine orders to hold an umbrella, even if a superior officer asks or orders. So not only is the young man embarrassed and getting a sore arm, as a Marine he certainly knows it's a violation to hold that umbrella and he's falling on his sword so to speak to avoid making his president look stupid. You would think Obama would have cared enough when he became the Commander in Chief to learn the basics of military protocol.

    And think about holding an umbrella like that. No matter how strong your arm is it will start hurting in about 60 seconds. For God's sake, Obama couldn't get wet for a few minutes?

  • One is a man of honor, the other is a lying pos. it must have required all of his training to remain there holding that umbrella with one hand and not bitch slapping president quagmire with the other.

    • It came from the dumpster behind Salvation Army. It was too ugly to try and sell, so they tossed it. Some up-and-coming (ie: black) fashion designer picked it out, sprayed it with febreez and sold it to Michelle for $5000. It's one of her nicer pieces.

  • I feel bad for that young man. He is sexy too... Uhm boy looks good. Anyway... So yeah Obama and his weirdness. Well if he had more hair I would say well he doesn't want to get his hair wet and as a Black person I can understand that but he doesn't have much going on so I don't see the problem and a man should be able handle a bit of rain too. Obama is a little to soft.

  • Prez. Quagmire has done so many unethical, immoral, things and broken so many tenements of just about every religion out there he dosen't dare hold on to anything metal in the rain, it would be an instant lighting strike.
