How quick is Norah O'Donnell to come to Pres. Obama's defense? When on Morning Joe today fellow O'Donnell Kelly gently ribbed PBO over his wearing of a macho, faux-military leather jacket while addressing US troops in Afghanistan yesterday, Norah immediately piped up to point out that "Sarah Palin wears a leather jacket, too."
So there!
Of course, neither O'Donnell described the gaping chasm, discussed here, between PBO's swaggering "America doesn't quit" rhetoric to the troops and his 2007 call for America to immediately quit Iraq, at which time he said "there is no military solution in Iraq and there never was."

The best part of that pic for me has always been the fact that “Big Duke” didn’t lose the tie for the photo op.
I wonder if the jacket was made from the hide of wagyu beef cattle?
Standards must be maintained, after all...
Way to take the focus off healthcare, Mr. President.
“I wonder if the jacket was made from the hide of wagyu beef cattle?”
Goes well with arugula ;-)
PBO’s swaggering aka pimp walk,anything the idiot dons wouldn’t help him you can’t dress up a pig.
Yes, but Bush actually was a fighter pilot. That's the difference between knowing how to do something in practice, and thinking you know how to do something in theory.

Actually, I LOVE it! When Bush wore his leather, military style jacket or bomber jacket, he was able to (more than) carry it off as a former jet jockey. Somehow it doesn’t have the same panache on a former community organizer.
IIRC, shortly after Clinton was elected..he visited a carrier in port...they gave him a flight jacket..but no unit patches were attached..there were several threads about it on FR..it was considered a huge sign of “silent disrespect” by the troops for their commander in chief..
Another poseur in that pic, Mr Open Borders McCain.
Somewhere in Bum’s closet must be a Mao jacket, what he should wear, might as well.
Mission accomplished.
