Republican Congressman Expresses Anger About Obama’s Tan Suit

Posted by | August 29, 2014 16:32 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


It’s been a fun joke, but Long Island Republican Congressman Peter King was serious. King was also pissed off that the president talked about the economy when an American was beheaded.

Summer suits, according to Rep. King, are not appropriate garb for talking about terrorism or ISIS, and especially when the President says he doesn’t have a strategy to deal with the resurgence of terrorism.

“For him to walk out — I’m not trying to be trivial here — in a light suit, light tan suit, saying that first he wants to talk about what most Americans care about the revision of second quarter numbers on the economy,” he seethed. “This is a week after Jim Foley was beheaded and he’s trying to act like real Americans care about the economy, not about ISIS and not about terrorism. And then he goes on to say he has no strategy.”

    If you have to belittle the color of a man’s suit, then you lost the argument before you opened your mouth.

    I’m not trying to be trivial here so with that being said I’m going to be trivial. What?

    The Lawless King, Monarch, Emperor, Tyrannical,
    Dictator, Imperial President is just
    Weak, Feckless, & Leading From Behind!!!!!
    Last week, he didn’t even “Put on a TIE!!”
    and now THIS!!! A Tan suit??? WTF is he thinking???

    (Remember: May 2, 2011 – At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Obama knew of the planned mission to target Osama bin Laden)

    President Obama is a student of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.

    “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must
    seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are
    near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we
    must make him believe we are near.”
    ~Sun Tzu~

    So he is too black to be president, but his suit isn’t black enough to be president either.

    You would almost think they didn’t like him for a reason.

    Seriously is that the best the repugs have? The colour of his suit? At some point these idiots really do have to step back and ask themselves “am I an asshole?”

    President Obama needs to go old school: full suit, top hat, and monocle.

    • Dwendt44 August 29th, 2014 at 20:16

      Powdered wig optional.

    • Gidawdah August 30th, 2014 at 03:17

    What Rep. King doesn’t want is for the president to talk about how the economy is improving, especially since he and his buddies have been saying for the last five years that “President Obama is bad for the U.S. economy.” I think this is the real reason he decided to criticize the president’s suit and talk about terrorism. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Rep. King has no constitutional role to play in foreign policy. I also think that the reason so many republicans are portraying themselves as powerless is because they already know that if the president asks them to participate in crafting a strategy, they’ll run and find somewhere to hide.

    King should bring his laments to the intrepid team of FOX and Friends.
    They’re always looking for an excuse to have another Obama-bashing ‘petty party’.

    Peter King is a dolt if all he can whine about is a color of the suit that the President is wearing. King’s favorite pattern is probably seersucker.

    • Gidawdah August 30th, 2014 at 03:14

      or a blue polyester leisure suit with a white belt and white shoes?
      This is ALL so damn ridiculous.

        That would be priceless.

      I think his favorite pattern is some thing other than seersucker…it starts with a C and rhymes with Block sucker.

    So republicans have fashion police just like Iran does? It is no coincidence that republicans have all the same strange behaviors that Muslim extremists have.
