In December of 2006, the brightest minds at CNN pundificated:
“The senator was in New Hampshire over the weekend, sporting what’s getting to be the classic Obama look. Call it business casual, a jacket, a collared shirt, but no tie.
“It is a look the senator seems to favor. And why not? It is dressy enough to suggest seriousness of purpose, but without the stuffiness of a tie, much less a suit. There is a comfort level here that reflects one of Obama’s strongest political assets, a sense that he is comfortable in his own skin, that he knows who he is.
“But, in the case of Obama, he may be walking around with a sartorial time bomb. Ask yourself, is there any other major public figure who dresses the way he does? Why, yes. It is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who, unlike most of his predecessors, seems to have skipped through enough copies of “GQ” to find the jacket-and-no-tie look agreeable.
“And maybe that’s not the comparison a possible presidential contender really wants to evoke…. [I]t’s one thing to have a last name that sounds like Osama and a middle name, Hussein, that is probably less than helpful. But an outfit that reminds people of a charter member of the axis of evil, why, this could leave his presidential hopes hanging by a thread. Or is that threads?”
Jacket, collared shirt, no tie? A sartorial time bomb! Barrack Hussein Obama--which rhymes with Osama--is dressing today like he called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last night and said, "What are you wearing tomorrow? And, also, if you're interested, I know how to build an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. It's stuff I learned at my madrassa."
But seriously, ask yourself, like the liberal Clinton News Network, "is there any other major public figure"--aside from the President of Iran--"who dresses the way [Barrack Obama] does"?
Any?
At all?
Can anyone think of just one fucking terrorist--sorry--Democrat or even mainstream(like, for instance, Mitt Romney, or Rudy Guiliani, or Fred Thompson, or Newt Gingrich) politician who dresses in such a tieless, jacketed, collared shirted sartorial time bombish, fascist, terroristic, Jew hating, makes me think of Saddam Hussein kind of way?
Anyone?
The liberal bias of the media is overwhelming.
Now if McCain starts wearing a skirt and blouse, we can say he looks just like Queen Elizabeth and he smells like her, too, so there!
