GOP Rep. Peter King Is Actually Mad About Obama’s Tan Suit
Mediaite ^ | August 29, 2014 | Tina Nguyen

Posted on 08/29/2014 3:30:13 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The overload of coverage over Barack Obama‘s tan suit has led to some unexpected consequences: Rep. Peter King (R-NY), called into The Steve Malzberg Show to rage about how “trivial” the summer suit was.

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.”

Maybe we, the media, have covered the tan suit too much. Maybe the joke has spiraled out of control on Twitter. Maybe, by talking about Obama’s horrendous sartorial choices, we inadvertently turned it into a commentary of his character, much like Gerald Ford became notorious for falling over things, or George W. Bush was inexplicably tied with his penchant for making up words.

Nah. Let’s write more bad suit puns.

I'll bet he loves it when they focus on such trivial nonsense instead of what he's up to. And this tool thinks that we're not concerned about the economy?

Obama.

He may not have a strategy, but he does have a nice looking tan suit.

It wasn't that long ago that Presidents wore summer suits.

Uh, maybe that's a clue that he has no idea what real Americans are thinking because he's not one of us.

He must think he's President of Barbados

It wouldn't surprise me if he came out wearing this next time:

Everything Obama does is a distraction from his own incompetence.

He should just show up next time in some jive-ass bling hip-hop wear.

Seersucker?

My problem is with the crusty blue jacket he puts on whenever there is a crisis that calls him off the golf course. The one he wore to talk about ISIS and the one he was forced to don when Osama was taken out.

There is a strategy, in everything that boy does, but it does make him look darker.

I do not give a damn what he is wearing. I am mortified of what he is doing to my great nation. His suit is trivia of no importance. His actions are destroying the foundation of our great nation. He has taken the Constitution and spat on it and worse.

Obama actions are the ones of a tyrannical central government that our forefathers were deathly afraid of. That is the reason that The Constitution is a document that defines the many limits on Federal Government. It also defines the rights of our citizens. Any powers of the Federal Government not defined in The Constitution are the powers of “each respective state.”

Obama’s number one enemy is Constitutional Law of Government.

Why does Peter King get so much attention? Every time I see that loudmouth on FOX or CNN I change the channel.

Yeah, he wears that blue jacket when he wants us to know that his leisure time has been interrupted by having to do his job.

The strategy of shiny objects. He makes this straw man of his suit so everyone will say “what trivial things they complain about”.
The only reason Peter King jumped in is that “R-NY” translated as “liberal Democrat” in a free state. “Forget that he’s an anti-American dictator wannabee and just look at his suit.”
And no, I don’t think it looks good on him.

Obama has a strategy alright.. It’s to neuter America. Everything he does is well calculated!

I’ve been following Homer J. Simpson’s 70 years ago today WWII threads. There were real leaders, serious people addressing serious problems. In contrast to feckless fool in the White House who resents it when he has to do his job, interrupting his golf and fundraising.
