It’s hard to take a nap in a suit coat.


by Ted Grant

To the horror of all well-dressed political pundits, President Obama has jettisoned a Bush-era tradition long thought sacrosant: he was photographed in the Oval Office without wearing a suit jacket.

Let’s see how CNN readers respond:

MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD TELL HIM HE IS THE POTUS AND HE IS IN THE OVAL OFFFICE NOT THE BASKETBALL COURT…..WHAT’S NEXT…MAYBE HE CAN TELL THE QUEEN WHEN HE MEETS HER THAT SHE HAS NICE BLING……….

this is the Change we can beleive in? WOW

wow what a rule change is this all we can expect from Bubba

You people are acting like giddy little children that have just seen Santa Claus at the mall. Obama is a man, and yet to prove anything except that he knows how to get elected.

No surpise here. Like the Clintons, Obama has no respect for the office. Or its traditions. I just hope the country survives the next 4 years.

No coat for Obama – not pants for Clinton. Gotta love those demoncrats!

“Demoncrats!” Wow, so clever.

Here we go, oversized sweatpants and bling bling and a baseball cap

Yes, nothing that dignifies the office like a padded flight suit.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SHOULD CONTINUE THE WHITE HOUSE DRESS CODE. WHEN WEARING SHIRT WITHOUT TIE…REMINDS US OF THE LEADER OF IRAN, NEVER WEARS A TIE . A PRESIDENT SHOULD DRESS PROPERLY OUR PRESIDENT IS REPRESENTING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE MUST SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE. IN EVERY WAY… ALWAYS!.

This is ‘history’ in the making? Boy, I already miss GWB!

Pffftttt…trying to show what a ‘hard working’ guy he is. Whatever. Just another photo op…When will people actually get a clue, and awake from the brainwashing?

So much for total respect for the Office of the Presidency……….Ronald Reagan never walked into the Oval Office without a coat on, but then Barrack is no Ronald Reagan

And we are all very grateful for that.

And to think, we have at least four more years of this kind of incisive political commentary from the Republicans to look forward to.



That must be spidy meeting Obama outside a CBC meeting where Obama found proof positive the AIDS virus was invented by GW


by CM

It’s hard to pass up the comments on the web-version of a newspaper, USA Today, that so embodies “lowest common denominator” that its print version is delivered daily to hotel room doors around the country. But when that article is about President-Elect Obama being featured in a Spider-Man comic, the comments are just too hilarious to pass up.

Comments seem to fall into a few different categories: Bush-bashing, reverse Bush-bashing/liberal baiting, pedantry, and insanity. But as you’ll see, there are quite a few that fit into the other categories that also fit into insanity.

Bush Bashing

I’m hoping they print it in a large format, so the people who are currently losing their jobs and homes as this little feel-good farce of a presidency gets underway will have something comfy to sleep on …
Maybe they’ll do a George W. Bush retrospective and show how the jobs and home losses came to be.

Hey what do you know, another article that bitter people can trash Obama on for no other reason than retribution for the persecution of their last president’s blundering administration.

Reverse Bush-Bashing/Liberal Baiting

That must be spidy meeting Obama outside a CBC meeting where Obama found proof positive the AIDS virus was invented by GW.

Who new Obama was a cartoon character? Everyone else told me he was the “messiah”!! Now I’m really confused.

It totally works – they’re both fictional superheros.

what do you expect. a liberal commie indoctrinating kids thru childrens books and comics.
everywhere you go,you see this studdering buffoon.

Pedantry

(these first three appear to be a conversation)

This from the guy whose company put out an issue with the Punisher threatening to kill a drunken, evil Bush 43. Liar.

Cite, please.

Late 2001, Punisher series vol.4. I want to say issue #5, but don’t have the comic here to verify.

I’ve got no problem with Marvel capitalizing on the the new President to sell some comics. I do have a problem that they purposely short-printed the comic to reward the hoarders and scalpers.

Of course, if you hadn’t told me that was Obama in the picture, I never would have guessed. It looks nothing like him.

Insanity

Amazing!!! The first US president whose very existence is putting food on the tables of many americans. I am a spiderman fan myself. I never liked Superman and how he has been over-rated. Obama needs to get in touch with me so that we can talk a lot more about Spiderman. I would love it.

U.S. of KKK, white supremist America, America engaged in genocide against blacks, U.S. invented AIDS, Obama elected president
Never never never — Burris — well maybe — well okay — CBC endorsed — hell yes
yeah, things are just now getting ridiculous — oh, I like Obama too.

Well….my son has now lost total respect for his favorite superhero – Spiderman.

Talk about squashing a little boy’s world.

(Here’s a quick back and forth between two commenters. The second commenter’s supercilious attitude is palpable through his terrible spelling and grammar, and for that alone I laugh.)

Hey spud799………You’re just upset, because GWB wasn’t decent enough to be in the superhero comics…..EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!!! BAO has the smarts and the integrity to be a decent President for ALL of America…….not just for the greedy rich!!

Get you acronyms right if your going to criticize. BAO? I think the correct I.D. is BHO.
Scouts Out!

“Obama collectibles” – oxymoron
Marvel comics – trying to shamelessly cash in on the hype
What’s next ? A Nancy Pelosi “fake beard”, a Harry Reid autographed bottle of suppositories?

I hope that when the Chicago mess gets even worse and all of “O”s corruption becomes, finally, public, Spiderman will come to the rescue and bring him to justice….and put him behind bars where he belongs!

Get off the internet, people. Get off the internet forever.

Bonus Actual hilarity! I didn’t expect to see anything like this on USA Today:

All I know is that somebody needs to get a radioactive spider to bite Paul Volcker. Because right now, I think what we need is a superhuman economist.
