President Obama emerged from Marine One in a torrential downpour last night only to discover that the aircraft was equipped with a single umbrella.
Budget cuts have so crippled Marine One’s umbrella supply that the staffer in lavender has been forced to supply her own. But when she makes the move to open it, Obama says something to her — perhaps, “No, it’ll be on Daily Intelligencer if we all just crowd under this one” — and the three of them walk under a single umbrella, getting completely drenched.
