The Presidential Posse

According to the BBC, President Obama will be traveling to the G20 with some impressive accessories, including 200 security officials, dozens of political aids, a team of personal chefs, and of course his airplane, helicopter, and The Beast, which are kitted with such niftie detailing as tear-gas launchers, anti-missile flares, and EMP-resistant shielding. He will also be accompanied by the White House medical unit -- nurses, surgeons, and even a supply of AB- blood, in case the President is taken ill.

I am told that the presidential entourage also includes a pair of farm-bred twentysomethings to act as organ donors should POTUS need a sudden transplant, as well as six chickens, two lambs, and a cow, to ensure that the presidential diet remains entirely organic.

But does it include someone whose only job is to hold his umbrella?
