That's right, I said a TAN suit...

1. Coincidentally . . .

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. No shit. We reserve our fits for things like treason. Obstruction of justice.

[ProudLib72]

3. Looks like Mitch rumpled up his suit and threw it in a hamper for a couple of years

GOPers are just angry that Obama made it look so damned good.

[NewJeffCT]

6. I remember when Obama wore that tan suit

and Fox News was outraged... somebody here or on Twitter had posted a picture of Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Bush Jr in tan suits as well.

[Moostache]

8. Never forget the only reason Fox was offended by President Obama...

He was born biracial and had dark skin and different hair than white people, period, full stop.
Everything else was a distant second place to that and still is...

[Wounded Bear]

43. And don't forget that evil Moose-lim name...

[pandr32]

45. Plus he was/is a Democrat

[rurallib]

9. Obama in a tan suit was an impeachable offense

now, nothing is

[dameatball]

10. what? Mitch? No lapel flag!! Lock him up!

[niyad]

47. can someone explain to me why a tan suit was "disrespectful"? says who, and since when???

[hibbing]

4. That's a dope pocket square n/t

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. My guess is she's a hero to the deplorables.

[erronis]

11. Maybe a cousin to Sister Sarah Huckabee. Genes are hard to escape.

[BHDem53]

7. Is that Tortoise Tan?

[sheshe2]

12. hehehe

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Push narrative that Trump could not pull off wearing a tan suit. When he does, pubes will like it.

[fierywoman]

14. I'm struck by how beautifully Obama's suits fit him.

[saidsimplesimon]

15. Eliot,

minus the blimp in the right hand corner, I thank you for the reminder of a couple who did US proud.

[DFW]

16. Somehow, I think old Mitch looks better in his natural tortoise shell

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

This was back when he was simply called "Yertle"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Looks like you are actually replying to Post #1. . . . nt

[Nay]

17. I'm old, but I have to ask the question -- what's wrong with a tan suit that was not wrong

with the blue or black or grey suits that Obama wore? Am I missing some sort of fashion faux pas?

[PatSeg]

18. Guess we'd have to ask a republican

Perhaps there is some rule that says black men aren't allowed to wear tan suits? More likely it is black men aren't supposed to be president, I'd think.

Probably one of the dumbest things to come out of the right. Meanwhile, I thought the suit looked great on him.

[Nay]

19. No, I've always realized it's the color of his skin that they hate -- but what is it

about a tan suit that is disrespectful, as opposed to blue/black/grey suits? Or did they just pick a color and go with it?

[PatSeg]

21. I think the tan suit was just random

It was so hard to find fault with President Obama, so they made an issue out of anything. It is what they do, fabricate outrage and indignation, and the sheep buy into it.

If it hadn't been a tan suit, it would have been something else. Such pathetic hateful little people.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. "fabricate"??

I see what you did there. Nice.

[PatSeg]

40. Ha, ha

Unintentional play on words, but it works for me!

[lunatica]

37. There was a black man wearing it

It was just another racist thing with them. It doesn’t have to make sense. Racism never makes sense and you’ll go nuts trying to make sense of it. It just is.

[PatSeg]

41. Exactly

If you are determined to hate someone, anything can be viewed as an outrage and the base is so eager to believe the worst, they'll buy whatever the spin doctors are selling. And it isn't always about race either. It is basic Hate and Fear 101. You could write a book about all Hillary's unforgivable sins.

When I think back to the whole Grey Poupon Mustard outrage, I suppose that could have been a dog whistle to the base for "uppity". I remember a lot of such whistles. One minute the problem was that Obama was black and when that didn't work too well, they went with he's just not black enough.

[treestar]

22. +1

Agree with every word.

[sheshe2]

38. The 'tan' that they have an issue with is not his suit.

It is the 'tan' color of his skin.

[Cha]

20. Good one, Eliot!

Those were the days!

23. Let us not forget that horror of using Dijon mustard

Dijon Derangement Syndrome: Conservative media attack Obama for burger order

Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Mark Steyn criticized President Obama as an elitist because he ordered a burger with "spicy mustard" or "Dijon mustard."
Following President Obama's May 5 visit to Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Rush Limbaugh Show guest host Mark Steyn criticized Obama as an elitist because he ordered a burger with "spicy mustard" or "Dijon mustard." Hannity claimed that Obama ordered a "fancy burger" with a "very special condiment," while Steyn asserted Obama is trying "to enlighten us" through his order. Ingraham asked of Obama: "What kind of man orders a cheeseburger without ketchup but Dijon mustard? ... The guy orders a cheeseburger without ketchup? What is that?" In their discussions of Obama's burger order, Hannity, Ingraham, and Steyn all referenced a Grey Poupon commercial featuring actors portraying wealthy British men expressing desire for the mustard.

During the May 6 edition of his Fox News program, Hannity said: "[A]s you all know, President Obama is a real man of the people. And yesterday he dropped by a popular Virginia restaurant to grab a burger with his pal [Vice President] Joe [Biden]. Now, the Gateway Pundit blog pointed out that plain old ketchup, well, it didn't quite cut it for the president. Now take a look at him ordering his burger with a very special condiment. ... Dijon mustard? I think the president watched just a little bit too much television as a kid." Hannity then played a portion of a Grey Poupon commercial and commented, "I hope you enjoyed that fancy burger, Mr. President." In the May 5 post Hannity referenced, the Gateway Pundit wrote of Obama and Biden: "They're just two ordinary metrosexual guys going out for a burger ... Obama and Biden, two ordinary guys, go out for a sandwich and Obama asks for Dijon mustard at Joe's Hell Burger." The blog added: "I hear it's delish with arugula lettuce. Yum-Yum."

During the May 6 edition of her radio show, Ingraham said of Obama: "I don't even like the way the man orders a hamburger. ... What kind of man orders a cheeseburger without ketchup but Dijon mustard?" She later added of Obama: "See, he was trying to do this whole thing with Biden -- 'We're like the regular people, we're like every other guy, you know, with our -- on our lunch break, we're going to go grab a burger, two guys, two bros.' " Like Hannity, Ingraham played a clip from a Grey Poupon commercial in which an actor asked, "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?" Ingraham then remarked: "That would have been more appropriate." Ingraham's remarks were highlighted by The Fox Nation on May 7:

24. The cake taker though is

https://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2013/09/12/obama-michelle-drink-water-project-politico/2803417/

First lady's push to drink more water draws criticism

Hey republicans, you can FUCK OFF and I have never meant it more...bastards

[UpInArms]

25. Truly ... they are lower than worm shit

Yet Politico reports several public health experts as saying that the White House is overselling the benefits of water.

"There really isn't data to support this," said Stanley Goldfarb, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "I think, unfortunately, frankly, they're not basing this on really hard science. It's not a very scientific approach they've taken. ... To make it a major public health effort, I think I would say it's bizarre."

Fucktards 🤬🤬🤬
