A miserable week just got worse for President Obama as it seems the Commander-in-Chief may have placed a Marine in violation of corps regulations as he tried to keep the rain off.The moment came during another testing press conference — this time in the Rose Garden with the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Talk of Syria and humanitarian aid was subsumed by the competing crises over tax, Benghazi and journalists’ phone records.Marines in full dress uniform stood, outstretched arms ramrod straight and held umbrellas over the two leaders for several showery minutes. But according to chapter three of the Marine Corps uniform regulations, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform.
