Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all "ceremonial swords" and anything else "that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners" for Friday's outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by President Barack Obama.
Inside the Beltway has obtained the academy's list of prohibited items for this year's graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas.

Is he afraid of his own military? What the heck?
Barrak Hussein 0bama is not an American, he is not a patriot, but he is a terrorist-loving, Muslim sack of turds that smell worse than anything ever scene in this country.
I will state that I pray for him every day - BUT only because I know the only hope for this country is God’s hand.
So we have to read captured terrorists, captured on the battlefield, their “Miranda Rights”... but our own cadets in our military can’t wear a complete dress uniform to their own graduation? A tradition going back for the entire history of our country+?
He tries to shove gays down the throats of our military, he sides with his cronies who lie about our men and women in uniform, who lie about our CIA and FBI, and he insists on giving Islamic Terrorists the rights of a US Citizen - though from another country with no such rights, who are caught in the act of carrying out terrorist acts in foreign countries.
Did he feel safer in Saudi Arabia with all the Palace guards who most certainly were armed to the teeth...
I guess this means that the phony President will never again visit our Troops in the field - who most certainly are armed with weapons far more useful and dangerous than a ceremonial Sword..
The dorky asshole continues to amaze me with the ignorance and embarrassment he brings to the office of President.... That black racist and Marxist clown couldn't amount to more that a pimple on the ass of a real President.
“GENTLEMEN! You can’t fight in here! This is the WAR ROOM!”
I find this disgusting on so many levels.
. . .like children; more damning here; ‘by’ children; and the worst kind.
Perhaps they could all carry a folded pictures of their swords; and 'unfold them' as they hit the stage. . .and stand for group picture. What a great way to send a message to their Commander-in-Chief; who does not even come close to deserving such honor.
Ok Wontsubmit,
If an academy grad were to use his or her sword to do in the fraud in chief would they be considered a hero or villain by history?
I know were I seated on a grand jury I’d vote to NOT indict.
Anybody who attacks a president of the US is an enemy to the republic. And it’s an attack on our nation whether the president is a Democrat or a Republican, whether we agree with his policies or not. Whatever happened to the idea of a loyal opposition?
Disappeared after Bush was treated like crap for 8 years.
There certainly were a lot of alarming things said about Bush the last eight years. Political discourse in our country really took a nose dive with some of the attitudes from the left. But the life and stability of our republic is much higher and more precious than a game of “he did it first”.
It died with the loss of folks like Hubert Humphrey and "Scoop" Jackson. Those who would put country ahead of ideology.
