But then, they had umbrellas ready for the Marines to hold, so I guess that was their plan all along. I don&#8217;t know about the Marine Corps, but when I left the Army, umbrellas weren&#8217;t authorized while a man was in uniform (I think women could carry an umbrella, though). <\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it just doesn&#8217;t look good to me, but maybe that&#8217;s me and I&#8217;m sure someone is going to tell me I&#8217;m nitpicking, but this is an opinion blog and that&#8217;s my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>ADDED: This is probably why he needs someone else to hold the umbrellas, it&#8217;s a pretty complicated operation, ya know;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/6a00d8341bffd953ef0147e12af100970b-800wi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/6a00d8341bffd953ef0147e12af100970b-800wi-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"6a00d8341bffd953ef0147e12af100970b-800wi\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-35663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/6a00d8341bffd953ef0147e12af100970b-800wi-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/6a00d8341bffd953ef0147e12af100970b-800wi.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Added again (From IowaHawk);<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p>Obama vehemently denies abusing government power, while telling a US Marine to hold his umbrella. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search\/%23CantMakeThisShitUp\">#CantMakeThisShitUp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; David Burge (@iowahawkblog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iowahawkblog\/status\/335092531199107072\">May 16, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p>Semper Umbrellis.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; David Burge (@iowahawkblog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iowahawkblog\/status\/335095849820516352\">May 16, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gunzrunner and Flagwaver sent us this video; It&#8217;s been cloudy and sprinkling all day since sun-up &hellip; <a title=\"Imperial Presidency\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35661\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Imperial Presidency<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35661\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
