Pass.

Where is his respect for the Office of President? Not to say that he shouldn't enjoy himself, wear shorts etc, but I sure don't remember any other past President being so casual and disrespectful in public of his position as a representative of this Country.; 1/4/11, 11:21 AM

Thank you, Madame. That's when I wear them, but, damn, I'm glad I played soccer for 13 years. I can say without any vanity I've got better legs than that.

Michael said...: The President of the United States of America. And he isn't even exercising. He is standing there with his shirt untucked like the slacker he is. I would give ten thousand dollars this very minute to see his transcripts.; 1/4/11, 11:39 AM

Exactly.

He should also avoid all those unflattering and really unappetizing shots of him shoving food into his face.

Obviously, those must be photo ops, since given his emaciated state, I don't think he is eating very well.

Seriously though, I think he looks ill. Hence my predition that he will not run in 2012 and will use health issues as a reason. (Any reason for him not to run would work for me, probably for Hillary as well /wink.); 1/4/11, 11:43 AM

Uh what? So if it's a typical Hoosier summer day, 90 degrees and 100% humidity you'd scorn me for displaying my tanned, toned and fabulously muscular cyclist legs in cargo shorts but its ok if I'm the President waiting in line for a snowcone.

This is why I gave up trying to understand female logic 20 years ago.; 1/4/11, 12:05 PM

William said...: As someone afflicted with skinny legs, I feel a sudden surge of sympathy for Obama. I suppose you could argue that pictures like this make the President look weak and vulnerable, and that the President of the United States should never look weak and vulnerable in public. However, you are all misreading the true semiotics of skinny legs. Much as Taft's girth was symbolic of an expansionary republic, the slender legs of Obama indicate fragile underpinnings of our economy. Obama has the legs we deserve.; 1/4/11, 12:07 PM

Shut up already. Either that or get back to your 8th grade Home Ec class. Sheesh.

lemondog said...: Much as Taft's girth was symbolic of an expansionary republic, the slender legs of Obama indicate fragile underpinnings of our economy. Obama has the legs we deserve.

Interesting. I like it.

One can apply a similar parallel to:

The Great Depression and the wheel-chair bound FDR,

The US as emergent power with the bandy legged and feisty Truman,

The US as post-war economic powerhouse with the football playing Kennedy.; 1/4/11, 12:43 PM

Summer fashion was pretty conservative back in those days. Rolled up shirtsleeves was about as far as it went to baring skin.

Lincoln was 6'4 too which was ginormous for that era.; 1/4/11, 1:02 PM
Hoosier Daddy said...: Can you imagine if he were your president?

Well if he were still with the KGB he'd have 30% of the liberal electorate as a given. Nostalgia for the good old days and all that.; 1/4/11, 1:04 PM

David said...: I still wonder if he is physically well. There is a reason that he does not release his medical history.

But give him a break on the outfit. It's Hawaii and the man is on vacation.; 1/4/11, 1:51 PM
Martin L. Shoemaker said...: Of all the countless reasons to criticize or disagree with President Obama, this doesn't rank even in the tenth percentile.

If he dressed like this on the streets of D.C., that would be crass. But when in Rome, ya know? He's in Hawaii, his old stomping grounds. Shorts are standard attire there.

A week or so ago, he was criticized for wanting to keep the photographers away from his casual time. Now he's being criticized for being photographed in his casual time. No matter what he does, he can't win with some people. It's like some sort of Derangement Syndrome.

Hence, I submit that this post needs an Obama is Like Bush tag.; 1/4/11, 1:59 PM
Shanna said...: Flip flops on his feet......bwahahahah.

And not even nice flip flops. Those look like the crappy ones you get at Walmart. He needs to look into getting some reef flip flops. They are awesome. (and you can get some with a bottle opener on the bottom, for some reason)

Seriously, they're like walking on a cloud. Most comfortable flip flops I've ever owned.; 1/4/11, 2:12 PM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: I may think Obama is a nerd, but he is much cooler than Putin.

I don't care how 'cool' Obama is....I want a President who is effective, can deal with other nations (who won't return his calls now), can understand a few basic concepts about economics, knows how many States there are in the Union, is somewhat familiar with the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and who basically give a shit about this country instead of trying to destroy it.

Obama can go be cool somewhere else.....we have a Country to run here.; 1/4/11, 2:14 PM
Skyler said...: I've got no problem with his scrawny legs or his scrawny arms, or his nasty dirty toes.

A man's appearances, to a large extent, have little relation to his character or his ability to lead. The exception is when he has lived a life in such a way to destroy his body.

What I don't like is his communist ideology. Attacks on his appearance only serve to detract from the real problem of him being our President.; 1/4/11, 2:18 PM
David said...: Perhaps they are symbolic--coming up short.

Or maybe he had no time to change. Reportedly his latest round of golf (in a foursome) took over five hours and they did not finish 18 holes. You can be sure that the Prez was not waiting for the group ahead.

A five hour round of golf is a pathetic performance.; 1/4/11, 2:19 PM
David said...: Martin L. Shoemaker: "I submit that this post needs an Obama is Like Bush tag."

No way. Bush played speed golf--2 hours or so, often less. And he did not wear shorts.; 1/4/11, 2:22 PM

You'd have to indulge Titus for that, but I thought only chicks could have them.

Lincoln was pretty skinny.

Abe had Marfan's Disease.

As for The Zero, don't you remember, that was supposed to be his big selling point?

reader_iam said...: Hoosier said: Remember back in the day when they were called 'thongs'? ;-)

I remember they were called *thongs* if they were the ones with the thingie between the big toe and second toe. They were called *flip-flops* if the band part just went across the foot without any toe separator/stopper. My parents would never let me have the latter, the flip-flops, because they said they were too easy to trip one's self up in. Now that I think about it, my parents were pretty wise--and metaphorically speaking, too.

reader_iam said...: Years later, I took to wearing Candies, which were basically flip-flops on stilts. Sure enough, I damn near broke an ankle and actually tumbled down a grass hill at my HS graduation due to that foolish footwear choice. Heh. Memories, baby, memories.; 1/4/11, 2:45 PM

On another note, what is his connection to Hawaii? He only lived there about 10 years as a kid. He has no home there, didn't seem to visit often before he bacame a candidate. Does he have relatives there? Friends?

Why does he keep going back?

More importantly, why does he do it on our nickle?; 1/4/11, 3:22 PM

Thank you very much :-)

Here is some more ugly sloppy dressing by Michelle. Seriously.....someone dress these people before they appear in public!!!

I don't have a zillion dollars, but even I can put together a better looking, crisper outfit than those rags she and her daughter are wearing. If nothing else they could have changed into something that didn't look like it came from the bottom of a moldy laundry bag before landing the plane.

They try to blame it on the heat...but really? REALLY. How about the guys standing at attention in their crisp, sharp, neat uniforms. Bet they are hot too.

Obamas have zero class. Clueless.; 1/4/11, 5:42 PM
Penny said...: No matter what clothes you wear, there is nothing quite like "dressing up" with an authentic smile.

And before you even mention it, DBQ...Yes, I know that Michelle is prone to authentic scowls.

That's my idea of classless, because surely she isn't clueless that she wears her scowl much too often.; 1/4/11, 6:08 PM
BJM said...: @chickelit

thongS = sandals
thonG= panties/swimwear

Firstly, one seldom, if ever, wears two thong panties or one thong sandal.

Secondly, thong panties/swimwear were unknown in the 50 & 60's. This was considered very racy as was this(@ 3:12) Annette Funicello revealing her belly button in a blue & white two-piece swimsuit scandalized Disney and threatened her contract.

In the 50's & early 60's swimsuits, even two piece, had a modesty front panel that covered the crotch...although as this photo demonstrates not entirely sucessfully...but I digress.

It's never been a problem at our house, even when wearing both items together the Spousal Unit can differentiate between the two...rather well, I might add.; 1/4/11, 6:58 PM
