July 21, 2008 Obama Campaign issues Dress Code for Female ReportersIt appears that Team Obama didn't want to offend any Muslim sensibilities on his trip to the Middle East. The campaign issued a dress code for female reporters last week that showed just how patronizing and condenscending these arrogant jamokes can be.
Perhaps the Obama campaign would like to dictate what color panties female reporters should show up for work in. Ed Morrissey sees the arrogance inherent in such a "dress code:"
Ed is correct. Most if not all of those reporters who are accompanying Obama on his trip (except Katie Couric who is as clueless a talking head who ever graced a TV screen) know full well how to show respect and the proper dress is certainly part of this. Did they really expect a female reporter to show up in a tank top at a mosque? Or a photo op with Maliki? I suppose we should expect all Americans to be getting our own little memos from time to time from Obama. No doubt there will be a national data bank of email addresses and every once and a while, we will receive word from on high what is expected of us as Americans. Just more creepiness from a man and a campaign that seems to revel in exercising power. |

Guys,
Please pay attention that here in US you may meet Muslim women in all their garb but with open toe shoes and, guess what, they wear toe nails polish. Should our beloved Obama expand his dress code to these ladies also? After all he is and will be our beloved Leader and Father of the Nation.

By way of reference to an earlier comment I left on another thread, perhaps Obama just needs more "seasoning".

Being liberal means always having to say your sorry...

Visiting the Pope requires wearing a skirt that skims the knee...a head covering too. Not sure about the white gloves. But that's only The Vatican...
But Israel??
Why are these nuances lost on Obots? What is it they're not getting - yet???
PUMAs won't back down.

This is just a small taste of what we will get when BHO is President. He want government to be our nannies and make sure we eat correctly, dress correctly, speak correctly, act correctly, think correctly and pay our taxes on time. Or else. Is this not the height of over inflated ego and arrogance? And just wait until Michelle gets into the act. I'm sure she has some interesting ideas of what American women should be doing, thinking, wearing.

Each time I see an article dictating, yes dictating, a dress code to suite a particular lifestyle or country on some political visit. I remember going to China and seeing all the "People of China" wearng the same garb. And, the comments we received on our clothing were gracious and curious from those "People of China". Obama is a communist marxist and he is going to turn the United States of America into the United Peoples Rebublic of Socialist Marxist.

Well, I guess this explains why the wife didn't go with. Can't have her photographed looking to Islamic.

Well, yeah, they're women. Poor, helpless victims of fresh fruit and expensive dance lessons, they can't possibly know how to run their own lives without his help.

This has nothing to do with the journalists and everything with Obama trying to show his "expertese." Of course, anyone who has been to the middle east knows that sandals are part of the uniform. As a poster noted above, even burqa-clad property wears sandals.
The no-green part is hilarious, as there are no doubt many in the jouro pool who support Hamas.

If the dems get elected and get their way in this country, cultural sensitivity will become law.We already know it's politically incorrect to insult their whole laundry list of sub groups.But this is just more hubris from these people, no different than the presidential seal and the weirdo menu demands in Denver.

In Israel people may dress as they please. In Muslim countries they are murdered for less than toes showing.

Obama is often chided for his naivete, and frequently given this benefit of the doubt, even by some of his severest critics: 'He's just too new at it.' 'Maybe with a little more time...' 'Perhaps he's a bit idealist, but...'
These are allowances which would not typically be afforded any white candidate, and never to anyone on the right side of the divide, onto whom all manner of cynical manipulative and sinister motives are projected by the press.
So let's give the guy some credit for intuiting a way to warm the cockles of Muslim tyrants everywhere!
Within Dar ul Islam, the media are bought-and-paid-for stooges who may only reflect positively and uncritically on their their fascist dog-masters. Obama wants to make it clear that he understands the myriad nuances of usage, (or more correctly, ab-usage) of which he and his ilk are so fond...
In that he's behaving exactly like every Muslim tyrant in the region he's courting. It's sure to warm the cockles of their black cancerous hearts to a man!

Obama is often chided for his naivete, and frequently given this benefit of the doubt, even by his critics. He's just too new. He's just an innocent idealist. Even calling him a fool is a kind of (arrogant) allowance which wouldn't be afforded a white candidate, onto whom all manner of cynical manipulative and sinister motives are frequently projected by the press.
So let's give the guy some credit for intuiting the way the Press should behave in Muslim lands. There, the media are bought-and-paid-for servile tools of their fascist dog-owners. Maybe Obama wants to make nice and show he he, too, can play that game. He clearly is insinuating that the American Press is a direct reflection on him, and not independent of him or the importance of his image in the slightest.
In that he's behaving exactly like every Muslim tyrant in the region he's visiting. It's sure to warm the cockles of their cancerous hearts!

SUGGESTION:
Clone Helen Thomas (aka: AP's "Glamour Girl") and Madalyn Albright (aka: HalfBright) enough to make an entourage then let these forms follow the O'BoyToy around while he feels Messianic.
The O'BoomBox needs a Halo. "Central Casting send up a Halo that'll fit the swelled head of the Messiah from Illinois."

Reference toes/naked feet - I lived in Iran for 2 years ('77-'79 working for Bell Helicopter before Jimmy Carter put out the red carpet for Khomeni and his thugs to return) and seldom saw a man or woman wear shoes other than sandal-type slippers, plastic flip-flop things, or stylish high-heeled woman's mules. Just look at any of the NY Times favorite Baghdad car bomb pics of the day, and you'll see the people in the street all wearing sandals, and NEVER wearing socks. Obama's Marxist Machine is just playing another hot-air posturing attention getter. Disgusting. Yes, nail polish is very popular with Arab/Persian women, too. So are fancy watches!

Did B.O. ban the wearing of the American flag lapel pin as well?
