Barack Obama, D-Ill., center, gets a loose ball as Kory Mckay, left, watches during a &#8216;3-on-3 Challenge for Change&#8217; basketball game at Maple Crest Elementary School in Kokomo, Ind., Friday, April 25, 2008. Obama is wearing a U.S. Marine corp T-shirt, given to him by an agent in his security detail. <\/font><\/p>\n<p> Reader Ray reminded me of this today. I saw it on Fox and Friends this morning and of course the USMC thing jumped right out at me. The picture caption said the shirt was loaned to him by the Secret Service detail,but still&#8230;. He wasn&#8217;t wearing a T-shirt under his suit? Why the USMC shirt? Everyone knows that Obama doesn&#8217;t do something without thinking it through. He started wearing a flag pin recently for his phony patriotism and now he wants to be a phony Marine.<\/p>\n<p>Reader Ray wrote;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Am I the only Veteran irritated by BHO using a USMC shirt for a photo op?  It seems to me that the only candidate who has any right to wear a BTDT shirt is McCain.  I am a firm believer in the &#8220;if you didn&#8217;t earn it, don&#8217;t wear it&#8221; school of thought.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, Ray you&#8217;re not the only veteran irritated by this, as I&#8217;m sure other readers will join you in their dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen.
