Well Obama may have kept his makeup from running, but the public relations hole he's digging for himself just got deeper. Of course, someone else is sure to get the blame for the incomparable insolence demonstrated by this clueless commander-in-chief when he imperiously summoned two young, Marine NCO's to stand in the rain and hold umbrellas over his royal highness and Turkish Premier Erdogan. This pic and this one say it all.

The military community, that is all those except the politically-correct, perfumed princes in the Pentagon, are genuinely ticked over this public display of ignorance and contempt for military tradition. It is a particularly egregious offense because, as many veterans are pointing out, male military personnel aren't even supposed to carry umbrellas when in uniform.

Of course the VIP's and visiting dignitaries are under a roofed pavilion, something the White House staff might have given consideration to in setting up this botched press conference.

If Obama thinks of his position at all it's that of a King and his minions.
