Obama Fights Terrorism In Polo Shirts

by Sara K. Smith  11:04 am January 4, 2010

'You interrupted my golf game for this shit?'This is what the president does, when he is on vacation in the foreign getaway spot of Hawaii: he wears polo shirts, and he has Serious Meetings with advisers about airborne underwear-bombers.

Nothing the Enemy fears more than a navy blue polo shirt, or, as it’s known in Arabic, “Satan’s waffle-weave pique burqa of decadence.”
Ronald Reagan rolls in his grave, wearing a dapper three-piece suit.

Conference calls and polo shirts. Who the fuck does this guy work for, IBM?

Waffle weave? or pique?

BlueStateLibtard January 4, 2010 at 11:13 am

If he was wearing a cowboy hat and a plaid shirt, I would feel much safer, and the terrorists would have been terrified. He should have also used a bullhorn to yell at the terrorists that we’re coming to get ya! You libtards just don’t get it, do you?

You know that, deep down, Dubya wanted to go with the Kenny Powers look for all of his NSA meetings.

ManchuCandidate January 4, 2010 at 11:19 am

To be fair to W, the only thing he did really well was go on vacation.

Aquannissiwamissoo January 4, 2010 at 11:19 am

He’s talking to the H&R Block guy. Something about state dinners being a business expense.

gurukalehuru January 4, 2010 at 11:19 am

I remember once before on the campaign trail, I think it was still the primaries, when he took a week or two off and I was one of those here and at Huffpo who were screaming and wailing and gnashing teeth and renting garments and saying No, Barry, No, you must stay on the trail, you must give more speeches and kiss more babies, but when he came back from his vacation he came back sharp as a tack and ready to kick butt which, as we all remember, he did. I do believe the man knows how to work a vacation.

Maybe this is the straw that will finally give Cheney that last heart attack.

greywindz January 4, 2010 at 11:22 am

A bloody phone!!! No satellite or video conference, or teleportable something highly scientific? This joker’s not serious…

germansteel January 4, 2010 at 11:23 am

Is that phone pre 9/11 or what?

Big Irish January 4, 2010 at 11:25 am

I like that random photographer is allowed to sit in on a meeting between the president and the National Security Council Chief of staff. Clearly, all the terrorists have to do is become White House photographers.

AggieDemocrat January 4, 2010 at 11:26 am

Next thing you know he’ll change the State of the Union to a keynote address at CeBIT and be surrounded by a bevy of booth babes.

Sparky McGruff January 4, 2010 at 11:27 am

[re=488245]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: He should have also used a bullhorn to yell at the terrorists that we’re coming to get ya!

What’s most important is that he should use that bullhorn to yell straight into a firefighter’s ear. Because that’s where the terraists are hiding. Also.

JMP January 4, 2010 at 11:30 am

You may laugh now, but some of the usual gang of idiot wignuts are losing it over this picture, because apparently wearing a polo shirt shows weakness to America’s enemies. I only wish I was joking.

In a couple of other interesting news items, bible pounder Harold Camping, who apparently has an audience and many radio stations, has announced that the rapture will take place on May 11, 2011! Can’t wait.
Also, Obama appointed Amanda Simpson to be Technical Adviser to the Commerce Department. The interesting thing about this appointment is that Amanda used to be a man.

Aflac Shrugged January 4, 2010 at 11:39 am

Obviously socialists have removed the branding, in order to avoid an uproar, but I think we all know those polo shirts were bought at BANANA REPUBLIC. Do you know that banana republics in fact have NOTHING to do with the Republican Party – I checked – but are really a “pejorative term” for a “servile dictatorship”? Here’s the Wiki, indicating that suspiciously named, allegedly American author O. Henry invented the term, in Honduras. You know where Honduras is? Not in the United States. It’s like KENYA, in that regard. Hmm.

WAKE UP, SHEEPLE! To think this could happen…*choking back tears*…in the America we all love.

Mr Blifil January 4, 2010 at 11:39 am

I think the top pic represents Obama dressing down some literally nameless bean-counter for the delays in jetpack distribution.

Mr Blifil January 4, 2010 at 11:40 am

Oh and pic 2 represents Obama receiving the call from Steve Jobs wherein he is told to “cool your pits.”

Doglessliberal January 4, 2010 at 11:42 am

Note that he is carefully blocking our view of the embroidered logo, as it is a picture of a dead Christian baby dangling from a scimitar, under a crescent moon. It is from the Death to Infidels line by by The House of Osama.

Someone actually wrote a letter to the Editor of the Boston Globe that read:

I WOULDN’T let Janet Napolitano watch my empty grocery cart for two minutes, let alone run homeland security. Can she even spell Al Qaeda?

As for our president’s delayed reaction to a Christmas Day attack aboard a trans-Atlantic flight? I bet George W. Bush would have rushed from the beach to a microphone, in a wet bathing suit, to deliver outrage over this act of terror.

I can only hope “amateur hour’’ at the White House ends soon. The show is really starting to scare me.

I really want to go to Bedford, find Pamela W. Clare, laugh hysterically in her face, slap her silly, then remove her reproductive organs so she can no longer reproduce.

[re=488268]gurukalehuru[/re]: I guess that makes sense, because I’ve watched pretty much every episode of The Simpsons, and don’t recall any Amanda.

It would kind of be nice if all those folks disappeared one day, wouldn’t it? I think Rev. Camping should lead them out into a secluded desert or jungle now to wait for it.

How elitist and disgusting. I don’t feel safe at all.

Only sunbleached, cherubby conservative Republicans in Wrangler shorts and White turtle necks are capable of keeping me safe.

Florestan January 4, 2010 at 11:45 am

Polo shirts? Making calls from a polo pony would be much cooler although the President is probably too tall for the little critters.

That is some mighty fine koa wood in that table. No wonder he’s sticking with the plain shirts; you don’t want to try to compete with that grain.

Obama is wrapping up his briefing with the traditional closing, “All right. You’ve covered your ass, now.”

[re=488268]gurukalehuru[/re]: Too much good stuff in one post. Maybe the rapture on May 11, 2011, will free up a few Republican seats in the Senate. I’m sure Michelle Bachman will be going.

[re=488293]JMP[/re]: Dick Cheney, who is Serious about the War on Terror ™ would not be lounging around in polo shirts talking on phones with cords. He would be hunkered in an undisclosed lava tube in his parka, to keep out the fear.

DangerousLiberal January 4, 2010 at 11:59 am

Polo shirts? Landline phones? Hawaii? That there’s some seriously exotic foreign shit, esp if you are Cokie Roberts.

SayItWithWookies January 4, 2010 at 12:00 pm

The terrorists aren’t going to win unless they can hit a 300-yard drive and look as relaxed as President Obama doing it. And the Republicans are just mad because double wetsuits don’t breathe nearly as well as polos and khakis.

They tend to get more casual as time goes on. After 8 years Bush had to be dragged away from the ranch once a year and stuffed into a suit, by 2012 Barry will just take meetings in the pool room while getting a massage.

Having the facists put in place by my daddy and uncle Ronnie sell out the rest of the nation so I can be Dick Cheney’s finger puppet is thirsty work. Y’know, I often wondered if ol’ Ron was a closet vegetarian. Only thing Poppy ever talked about when they would get together was something about ‘salad tossing time, junior.’ Heh heh, that was kinda wierd.”

hockeymom January 4, 2010 at 12:25 pm

I’ll bet there’s nothing on the end of that cord. Barry’s just pretending to be on the phone. He communicates with his mind rays. Because he’s an alien. WAKE UP, PEEPLES.

the real question is, how long his aides debated over which outfit best projected the message “yeah yeah i really am doing something about those crazy terrorists,” while still being believable for someone supposedly on “vacation” in foreign hawaii?
the hawaiian shirt he was actually wearing was obviously out of the question, but such a conspicuous lack of presidential seals and flag pins automatically =FAIL. where’s a pair of crocs and socks with the seal when you need ‘em?

Sparky McGruff January 4, 2010 at 1:39 pm

[re=488296]DangerousLiberal[/re]: Landline phones? Hawaii? This has to be a fraud, like Obama’s birf certificate. Because everybody knows that Hawaii is an island, and they can’t put telephone poles in the middle of the ocean. Besides, the humid air would make the string between the two tin cans wet.

lochnessmonster January 4, 2010 at 5:47 pm

Well at least the navy blue shirt fits him. Who bought him the white one which is waaay too big and makes him look like he is not serious about terrorism?

Jukesgrrl January 4, 2010 at 8:10 pm

[re=488268]gurukalehuru[/re]: I’ve known Amanda Simpson since I moved to Tucson. She might have had a few things removed from her person, but she’s still well over six feet tall and has no need for shoulder pads in her business suits. The Republicans won’t object to her appointment because they’ll be too busy trying to get a date with her. They might haul even her in for Congressional testimony just to get up-close and personal. I predict one diaper-wearing senator has found his new mommy and Amanda might just be the woman to beat some sense into him.
