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

You’re not the first one to say it in this thread, but you’re the first one I’ll tell to suck it. The definition of “what’s wrong with America” always seems to be strangely similar to “people who don’t worship the President like I do.”

How about, “People who go to insane lengths to bleat out a histrionic, sky-is-falling-esqe armflailing condemnation of stuff that is perfectly normal and not at all unusual”?

“…And most importantly, not in any way wrong or any kind of problem?”

Post 9/11 military worshipping bullshit. Now the sacred warriors are too exalted to simply lend a hand?

The marines should ne honored to do it, and honored to help out a former president with his wheelchair too.

Seeing nothing wrong with Marines holding umbrellas is not “worship[ing] the President,” you pusillanimous jackass. People like you are what’s wrong with America because there’s quite literally not a thing to be outraged about in this particular instance, but by god and by damn, you and your ignorant troglodyte brethren are going to make sure to bleat about it anyway. Because Og knows that the President of the United States should never ask a Marine to do anything for him, right? Especially THIS president, right?

That’s why you’re what’s wrong with America. Because you’re a pathetic, low-life smirking imbecile.

Being tewwibwy afwaid of getting his hair wet, during a press conference President Obama summoned two Marines to hold umbrellas over himself and the Prime Minister of Turkey.

Just looking at the picture makes me want to kick…um…someone in the throat.

Fuck you, you arrogant, condescending fucker. There’s no reason that you couldn’t just suck it up like a score of press attendees are doing, and towel off and change your fucking suit later. Or move the goddamn thing indoors. Nope, you decided instead to look around and find a couple of what you must consider peon scum to trot over and hold your umbrella like fucking servants.

This is about one step up from Obama stepping out of the shitter, and Biden clapping and calling for wipersclad in dress uniform.

You’re a fucking moron. The Marines are under strict protocol orders from their superiors. Probably something like: When it rains, hold an umbrella over the president with your hand placed horizontally over your belt line. They drill on this stuff; it ain’t spontaneous, and you’re a fucking tool for being outraged over it.

Maybe “holding an umbrella for someone” is the social equivalent of “wiping someone’s ass” as we just haven’t been informed yet.

I doubt the umbrellas just magically appeared. Someone had to prepare for the situation.

@boytyperanma

Marines just aren’t qualified to do menial labor in your book? No digging trenches or shoveling shit for those guys? If this trend continues we’ll have them standing around the tomb of some nameless soldier.

Nitpick: We got the Army for that. nitpick cite

Yeah, I watched the clip, and after the President asked for umbrellas, it took all of 17 seconds for the two Marines to show up with identical pristine umbrellas. One might be tempted to think that they had them at the ready for just such an occassion.

@Sicks_Ate

The Marines are there for ceremonial purposes . . .

Exactly. The WH Marines are there as servants. (Not as guards, that’s the Secret Service’s job.)

No, it’s about the opinion that this level of bile and bullshit becomes toxic to the body politic. Why do you hate America that you attempt to damage her so? Or are you trying to be part of the solution, and we just don’t get it?

[LouLou7]

I have a friend whose 22 year old son is a Marine. His current assignment is to stand and guard an empty field for an eight hour tour.

If he was told to hold an umbrella over the Commander in Chief, he would probably piss his pants with excitement.

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

I’m sure it was for the benefit of the visiting dignitary. How the OP and the dipshits he worships would squeal if the President was so rude as to not provide rain protection.

Wan’t there a scene in the movie Patton that shows some low level naval ensign or something tending to Patton’s dog on a leash while Patton was inside for a disciplinary hearing?

That your thinking immediately jumps to the opposite extreme only reinforces that you are what’s wrong with America.

That happened with Gene Hackman’s dog in Crimson Tide.

How about when you have an actual outrage to scream about you come back with a new thread?

Because Kimstu just made you look like a Class 3 Dipshit.

Class 4 - didn’t you see the number of stripes?

[John_Mace]

This Pit thread is all wet. Can someone get a Marine to step in and hold an umbrella over it?

[Bryan_Ekers]

Heck with that, this thread deserved to be strapped down and waterboarded by the CIA.
