Way back, even before the beginning of Barry's first term, we opined that he belonged in GQ magazine, not the White House. We were reminded of this upon reading the delightful Bud Norman's essay "The end of Language" in which he despairs of the loss of common words like "fop."
The disappearance of the word “fop” from the language seems to have coincided with the disappearance of society’s sneering contempt for men who take excessive pride in their physical appearance that it once conveyed, for instance, and as a result American society is inundated with preening pretty boys and empty but immaculately fashioned suits. Such nebulous and neutral words as “hope” and “change” can unleash eight years of disastrous taxing and pork barrel spending and over-regulation and God only knows what sort of foreign policy madness, while such once valuable words as “merit” and “liberty” are derided by the deconstructionists and their impenetrable academic jargon as racist code.
Recall the fact that one NY Times pundit, David Brooks, made Barry's "perfectly creased pant" one of the key reasons that he as going to be president, and be a good president. Brooks is indelibly associated with that inane comment just as another Obama groupie, Chris Matthews, will forever be known as the man who "felt this thrill going up my leg" during one of Barry's speeches.
In life we are frequently seduced by good looks and pretty speech. It is in our nature. It perpetuates the species. But let us pray that after this experience with the disastrous consequences of our seduction, that we develop a healthy scepticism the next time a fop appears.
Obama’s also a popinjay.
Good luck with that empty sentiment. Bath House Barry belongs on the cast of Dancing With The Queers starring alongside Ellen Degenerate.
While the world laughs at our impotent inhabitant of the White Hut, the impotent one thumbs his nose at America and dares any American to disagree.
We are under God’s judgment and have been since January 2009.
“I don’t want Fop. I’m a Dapper Dan man.”
Rats! You beat me to it! Great line from a great movie.
“In life we are frequently seduced by good looks and pretty speech”
Not me.
Slick people who are overly attached to their appearance are the ones I am suspicious of.
Well groomed? YES. Vain and superficial... NOT!
Good God Almighty!
He was at least as much a Fop before he was elected as President.
The evidence was clear and there for anyone to see.
It amazes me that anyone voted for him based on anything more than the color of his skin.
All of the negatives and the few positives were common knowledge, so no one can say, who knew. Everyone knew, they just chose to ignore. Barry the doper, became Barry the bright shining star, and the light went out the minute the flubbed oath of office was administered.
You could have...”Oh, and a dozen hair nets.”
“It amazes me that anyone voted for him based on anything more than the color of his skin.”
Most people voted for him because they though he would be god for them and take care of all their wants and needs. It is pure idolatry.
LOL!
He is a pusillanimous pest.
LOL! That was my first thought.
Speaking of idolatry.
One has to ask, what God takes care of all your want’s and needs? Not even the Idol, or has government become the idol?
I think that was rhetorical.
...and certainly not the True and Living God, who provided each of his children with the means to provide for wants and needs and to care for the minuscule percentage of those who for whatever reason are unable.
I knew that was coming.
Zero is neither a Fop nor a Dapper Dan man. He uses Reggie’s Love Lava as his hair treatment.
Those words the sheeple understand.
“I don’t carry Dapper Dan; I carry Fop. If you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you. It’ll take about two weeks.”
