New Obama Scandal uncovered, could end presidency - Sarah Palin tries to be relevant

[QUOTE]“Obama breaches Marine umbrella protocol,” read the headline on one conservative blog.
Per Marine Corps uniform regulations, the men are not allowed to carry or use umbrellas while in uniform. Female Marines can carry “an all-black, plain standard, or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather” but not with combat uniforms.
All of which means that when Marines stand sentry outside the White House, they often get wet.
“Marines are always out getting rained on. That’s sort of what we do,” said Capt. Eric Flanagan, a Marines spokesman. A request from the president to a Marine who serves at the White House, however, would be an “extenuating circumstance,” he said.
Flanagan also pointed to Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which states that members of the Marine Corps shall “perform such other duties as the President may direct.”
In this case, Obama had clearly directed the Marines to be ready with umbrellas if necessary.[/QUOTE]
Sorry if late, I searched for it but could not find it.

that villain
They're really desperate for mud to throw, aren't they?
this is not an original idea on my part but::: they hate the fact that a white marine is holding an umbrella for a black president
If it was Romney up there he'd have the poor and unfortunate cover him
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;40699485]If it was Romney up there he'd have the poor and unfortunate cover him[/QUOTE]Willingly let poor people that close to him? Not a chance.
so wait does that mean every time Marines hear that Rihanna song they get really jealous?
They do look kinda weird holding those umbrellas.

Sure let's just jump right ahead to racism out of nowhere.
Execute Obama, impeachment is too good for this monster.

the people who still try to impeach Obama don't necessarily do so [I]because[/I] they're racist, but everyone who does still is basically racist because only racists are dumb enough to get in a furor about such minor bullshit
[QUOTE=Rellow;40699470]They're really desperate for mud to throw, aren't they?[/QUOTE]
Honestly, with the shit that's gone down last couple of weeks, mud for obongo is in no short supply.
'barry the imposter' sounds like some dodgy bloke down the pub, those guys are crazy!

If only they had one of those portable awning things on standby this great American tragedy could have been avoided.

Makes sense; Sundays are usually slow news days, aren't they?
People on my Facebook are going absolutely crazy about this.
This is so stupid. Like there isn't anything more important than how umbrellas are used to worry about, right?
I can also bet that these people knew nothing about how marines and umbrellas work and only got mad because of the picture that is circulating.
[QUOTE=Rellow;40699540]Sure let's just jump right ahead to racism out of nowhere.[/QUOTE]
every president ever has had a marine hold an umbrella for them while giving an outdoors speech in the rain, it isn't a stretch to say that socially conservative folk are only raising hell about this incident because it's race issue. "muh president is trying to power play a good white soldier boy"
I thought you people were just joking when impersonating anti-obama'ists. But then i read this comment:
"That so-called President of yours is a fraud - he will ruin America - sorry I never comment on anything really, but I do read the news and look at Fox News. Our Prime Minister who is an Atheist and communist will fortunately be thrown out in September."
Jesus you weren't kidding.
[QUOTE= Fucking lunatic]As usual, a well-reasoned view... keep it up Sarah... some of us are in the light with you.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=what the fuck no it's not]Abuse of power, the Marine is just another reminder of that.[/QUOTE]
Are these people for real? I thought the whole WAKE UP SHEEPLE THE PRESIDENT IS AN ATHIEST 666 SATAN WILL RISE stuff was bullshit but then these people actually exist.
oh god damn you already posted one of them and it was the best one of those I quoted, guess I'll remove it from my post then.
The US gov does some crazy shit worth mentioning like G-bay and then you have these people that prefer to talk about how Obongo from down there in Kenya asked a Marine to keep him dry.
someone with sense
[QUOTE=Ernie Oliveira]There has to be MUCH MORE Important issues than UMBRELLA GATE!! How about TORT reform, make the person suing you responsible for your legal costs if they loose!!!! Hey with the current IRS scandal how about everyone pays 5% across the board no deductions no anything. 5% on every dollar you make or every dollar of value you get from those wonderful golf memberships that exec don't pay for. If you make 1.00 you pay .05 cents done that's it. You can get rid of the IRS and save Billions of dollars and bring in the same or more taxes than the government currently does. One more thing Senators and congressmen only get a pension/healthcare for 3 years after they loose their position or reach they max service time. Also Limit their terms to 2 terms ONLY!!!! . This will save the country and make a real difference. What hasn't this happened because the bill is paid by citizens not the politicians. The time is here to bring the country back to sanity and stop the career politicians.[/QUOTE]
gets replied to with this:
[QUOTE=Eric Pierce]Ernie Oliveira: The libs who continue to comment on the umbrella thing because it's all they can do. They have no concept of the issues, much less which of them is more important than the other. Umbrellas they understand, so umbrellas is what they talk about.[/QUOTE]
Palin was the one who made the post about fucking umbrellas in the first place. What.
[quote=Aricle]Per Marine Corps uniform regulations, the men are not allowed to carry or use umbrellas while in uniform. Female Marines can carry “an all-black, plain standard, or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather” but not with combat uniforms.[/quote]
What a silly regulation
I'm convinced now
Definitely not voting for Obama next year!

To be fair, the bottom left picture is secret service and the bottom right appears to be army.

Makes perfect sense
Who cares, the Marines aren't standing under the Umbrellas, are they, and the president asked them to do it. He is their CnC after all
