President Obama faced criticism when US Marines held umbrellas over him and the Turkish Prime Minister during a light rain, seen by some as insensitive given the Marines' role. While others have held umbrellas for Obama in the past, rules prevent Marines from doing so, and photos showed Obama watching as a Marine closed his umbrella after the rain stopped. The incident occurred as Obama dealt with political scandals at home.
