President Obama Delivers a Statement on the Economy, Iraq, and Ukraine

Published on Aug 28, 2014 - The White House

On August 28, 2014, President Obama provided an update on the strength of our economy as well as America’s position on the situations in Iraq and Ukraine.

And yeah, fellow BOGers, Obama looks good in tan...

1. I thought he looked great.

It stuck me that he looked different in some way, but I don't think the suit would have registered if people hadn't made such an issue of it. I guess I don't pay much attention to the clothes. My only concern is that he is looking tired these days. His plate is so full and he gets zero help from our congress.

5. Brilliant, fresh.. thank you!

6. the old shell game. talk about the tan and forget about the plan.

If you move it around fast enough, no one will see the truth or the facts.

Yes he does look good in tan, oh you meant his suit, not his skin color. Okay, I like the suit too, freshwest!

Brava!

7. The Repugnant Ones want him to wear suits that are so dark his skin looks white! Musta skeert 'em...

As far as the shell game... After the initital hullaboo with the Bundies...

It hit me how Reid's high profile worked to bring exposure of the Kochs, which the GOP whined about, but got national air time...

Then came the media circus. It all came at once like a squad of players to do a pass on a football field. Every time they want a diversion from truth or anything good one, it's all coordinated.

Same buzz words, tone, same days. That is not CT, it's known from meetings they have weekly for their script. The meetings are not a secret.

The people from radio, television, magazines and papers meet and get their marching orders. So few venues are independent now with consolidation.

The message is amplified so it is heard in every corner to give it urgency. As if it's a crisis. 90% of the news is not news, it's a product to influence people who will or will not vote from what they see. RF101. We see it here too, it's everywhere.

As soon as any positive momentum starts to build from what Obama or Dems do, the screechers start on some crisis. It diverts people off the positive and people only recall the manufactured rage and danger. No time to reflect on what is being done.

Re: Reid, NV and the Bundies, people forgot altogether what Reid and Sanders were revealing to public. All they saw was what media sent cameras to cover. The roving eye and the nonstop lie.

Just like the border hysteria. There is nothing going on down there substantially different from what has gone on at other times.

Media does not give air time to what Obama is doing to follow laws at the border, although some liberals don't like it. When he expresses a human feeling and states what is going on, the left and the right cherry pick his words and go after him and in all things this benefits the Kochs.

8. Great post!

Hmmm?!!!!?

Does this remind you of GD, freshwest?

Sigh~

9. Thanks, I edited to make it clearer.

11. Do you mean like the fact that President Obama reduced the deficit 70% compared to Bush's budgets?

There was a thread started about it, but it dropped like a comet in GD.

12. I thought he looked wonderful!

Flag pin and all!

13. President Obama always looks good.

Because he does good. It shows. No matter what he wears - which always strikes me as GQ, btw. Natural elegance.
