Obama Wears Indonesian Garb To East Asia Summit Dinner

DAN, why???? because he identifies himself more with Indonesia than Hawai.

What I’d like to hear about is how Obama and Pelosi are the owners of the ‘occupation’, whipping up and agitating the protesters into a frenzy with their remarks. These two own the occupation ‘movement’ – no pun intended.

LOL! No he doesn’t. Your saying it pretty much proves Dan’s point. Obama does the same things a lot of his predecessors do, yet you attack HIM for it as if he’s the only one and as if it proves some sort of un-American intent or agenda. Pretty sad, Lizzie…..

Every other leader at the conference dressed in the traditional garb of the host country. But dim wits like “i love god obama” are too ignorant and mentally deficient to recognize these customs and practices have been in place since 1993.

Dim wits like ‘i love god obama’ and ‘lizzie’ are representative examples of un-American citizens. They lack the ability to do nothing but criticize and fail to account for the same actions that previous leaders, both repub and dem, have been doing for almost 20 years.

Which is GW Bush, sunni or shia? Nov 2008 GW Bush is photographed wearing the traditional gard while at the APEC summit.

Hilarious! You can’t make this stuff up.

Obama most certainly brought us CHANGE.

From Reuters:

WASHINGTON — The number of children in the United States considered poor rose by 1 million in 2010, the U.S. Census said on Thursday, with nearly one in three of the youngest Americans now living in poverty.

“Children who live in poverty, especially young children, are more likely than their peers to have cognitive and behavioral difficulties, to complete fewer years of education, and, as they grow up, to experience more years of unemployment,” the Census said.

In 2010, when the Census survey was conducted, 32.3 percent of children across the country were poor, compared to 30.8 percent in 2009.

That was mainly due to a rise in the number of children living below the federal poverty threshold, defined as an annual income of $22,314 for a family of four, to 15.7 million from 14.7 million in 2009.

Oh it sure feels good to be back home again! At least thats the look Obama has!

TAX THOSE POOR PEOPLE! MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR POVERTY!

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;

“The number of children in the United States considered poor rose by 1 million in 2010″

These statistics do not prove that:
a] Obama is responsible for the rise in poverty.

b] Electing Republicans will change this trend, when all of their plans, including the Ryan Budget and Cain’s half-baked 999 plan, will put even greater burdens on the poor and those in lower income brackets.

It’s more statistical baloney being passed off as relevant.

Like I said, the reason they say that muslim nonsense about President Obama is because they are ignorant, prejudiced right wingers.

You probably didn’t even understand my post.

I understand your point alright Don and what I said holds, the reason they say that muslim nonsense about President Obama is because they are ignorant, prejudiced right wingers.

There is far more proof that the previous administration is responsible for the loss of 8 million job. EIGHT MILLION JOBS! Think that might have contributed to the rise in poverty?

If your facts are accurate, and that’s a big IF, I never realized that so many right wing Americans were governed by Arab culture and Islamic law. I’m glad the president is an independent thinking American who clearly believes in choice and the Constitution of the United States of America.

because he identifies himself more with Indonesia than Hawai=——where do you get that? He gets to say what they wear in Hawaii. He doesn’t make a habit of wearing hawaiin shirts, the Hawaiin shirt is hardly representative of the US a whole, not even close, so it’s his country hosting, so he gets to say what he wants. he likes to dress sharp. So he gets to say so. He is not host in this country, so he blends and does as it custom, as you would expect a statesman to do. I would be horrified if he refused to wear the dress of the host country when every other world leader and frankly, as far as representing the US, I’m glad the Hawaiin shirts went. Reminds me of a college drinking party. In the US, we wear professional clothes for professional meetings. Again… I’m not only not seeing any problem, I agree with both choices.

The only rascist I’ve seen lately in the occupier of the WH.

He looks good in that shirt!

However, this is a fluff blog entry I’m responding to (replete with a bunch of fluff nonsense from other commentators that this proves that he’s not “really” an American or such other drivel).

He’s neither a great nor a horrid president. But honestly, none of the contenders back in 2008, nor the ones lining up for the next boxing match, would have been, either.

Meanwhile, before I go back to surf news that really matters — Obama really looks great in that shirt!

NUMBERS: The Catholic church can say I’m Catholic because I was baptized one (without informed consent at about age one month). Thus maybe Muslims can say Obama is Muslim because his father was.

This in actuality neither makes ME here and now Catholic (I am NOT, and have not been for 30 years), nor Obama a Muslim.

Frankly the whole Muslim thing is a non-starter regarding Obama. I am still seriously more concerned about his involvement with the Christian Reverend Wright than this extremely vaporous Muslim connection he might have had.

“No, “Ted”, you just don’t know what you’re talking about as usual.

Obama was born to a Muslim father. Islamic law dictates that children of a Muslim father (even a non-practicing one) are automatically Muslims. Most Muslims agree. If you renounce your birthright, Islamic law views this as treason against God. You are called a murtad fitri (the most serious form of apostasy).”"

So what? Who frikkin’ cares what “Islamic law” dictates? The USA is not governed by Islamic Law. Your argument is silly tripe.

or maybe GOD forbid have a different take on things.

Just because you have a different take on things, doesn’t mean it’s still not ‘silly tripe’.
