This made me twinge a little when I saw the Marine holding the umbrella for Buckwheat. There are limits to human dignity.

Retired general blasts President Obama for ordering U.S. Marine to break military rules by holding an umbrella
Posted by Staff
President Obama humiliated the marine who he asked to hold his umbrella by making him ‘look like a butler’, a respected military general claimed today.
Thomas McInerney, a former United States Air Force Lieutenant General, said that the President showed a ‘lack of respect’ by making the soldier shelter him from a shower.
He also said that the President has plenty of aides so did not understand why one of them could not have held the umbrella.
