Obama does his best to degrade a couple of Marines. Next episode: Wipers!

So, does “Brellaghazi” work for everybody?

  • gate.

So, not only did he humiliate and degrade them, he forced them to disobey orders! Impeach!

Meh, pair of E3s whose badging suggests they’re still pretty new to the Corps. Holding an umbrella for The Prez is probably the biggest day of their lives since they left Parris Island. My money says this is not even close to the most humiliating thing they’ve done in the last 12 months.

Poor little Republicans. Desperately searching for anything they can to turn into a scandal. Living their miserable lives deperate for another shot of outrage and anger at the black non-Republican who dares to be President.

Must be a horrible existence. 1000 years of darkness indeed, but it seems obvious where that darkness lies. In their own hearts and minds.

You create your own hell on this Earth, folks.

Nope. True patriotism only comes in the shape of a flag pin.

Double post. I’d like to blame Obama, but I’ll have to blame my phone instead.

They’re E-4.

Not a republican, and way to throw race into it out of nowhere.

Of course it doesn’t rise to the level of a scandal; it’s just disgraceful and pisses me off.

Give him a break, he’s trying to understand the absurdity of a mind that created this nonsensical pit. As for me, I’m at a complete loss for an explanation.

Good call. You’ve outed all republicans as being 100% behind this pitting.

Or are you trying to out do the ops stupidity?

If Obama had let Erdogan get wet in the rain, the OP and his ilk would have demanded his impeachment for disrespecting an honored guest.

If Obama had paused the conference to move it inside, the OP and his ilk would have demanded an Issa-led investigation into “the coverup” that occurred in the walk from the lawn to the press room.

If Obama had had a Marine hold an umbrella over Erdogan’s head only, and let himself get soaking wet, the OP and his ilk would have shrieked about how Obama can’t present himself with the gravitas the office of the Presidency deserves.

Unless this is a whoosh, in which case, well done.

The Marines are not there as decorations. They’re there to serve the President. I see two of them serving the President in a useful, albeit slightly unusual, way. I really truly can’t get a handle on the outrage here.

OP, you do realize that we lost a President to cold and damp, yes? William Henry Harrison - Wikipedia

No-no no no no no no-no no

Like I do…

Fallacious. 1 and 2 wouldn’t ping my radar at all. Just because he does one thing that really makes him look like a shit in my eyes, doesn’t mean that I would be equally incensed at any other possible decision

Right, someone else would’ve done it. This is an incredibly stupid thing to get pissed off by, and if it pushes your buttons you should invest in new buttons.

The fact that this meaningless event makes you think he looks like a shit is all the proof I need that you are deranged and unable to rationally process information, thus leading me to stand by my original post.

Heh. Before I clicked on the OP’s link, I made a bet with myself that both those Marines would turn out to be white, and I was right.

Something about seeing a white man perform anything resembling a menial service for a more powerful black man still gets a lot of people choking with visceral rage.

Ah, of course I’m racist. The only thing that would outrage me more than Obama saying “Can we get some Marines over here?” is “Where the white women at?”
