“Why don’t we get a couple of Marines [to hold umbrellas],” the President said. “They’re gonna look good next to us.”
Better and better every time I look at this picture or watch the video. Far better than Obama. Yes, Obama asked for them for “assistance” and of course, they obeyed his command. I do believe, however, the White House staff should have taken care of this “duty”. Shades of that rumor that during the Clinton presidency, uniformed members of the armed forces were used as waiters.
Sidenote: When I downloaded the image from the NY Daily Post site, I did get a chuckle from the name they put on it: Obama-turkey
Update: changed the title – Hot Air had a better line
