Why would you put this up and expect no comments? This is a forum. Comments are the point.

Somebody needs some etiquette lessons, and I don't mean you!

News???
A political attack.

Disgusting!!!

It's disrespectful, and using the Marine as an umbrella-holding butler was probably worse.

I think they have taken the video of the umbrella incident down. I am sure the coffee salute will be removed shortly.

What's disrespectful about it?

And who would you expect to hold the umbrella?
Santa Claus???

Not very interesting and rather, uncalled for, I might add.

Not the first.

Are you sure you served in the military? As long as I can remember, lower ranks held umbrellas and items such as coffee, keys, even pets, for colonels and above. As to saluting with an item in hand, well, he may be CIC, but he's still really civilian. At least he saluted. I've seen other presidents, including Reagan, just walk by with little or no acknowledgement of saluting military.
