President Obama on ISIS: ‘Fetch Me My Brown Pants!’
The Federalist ^ | August 28, 2014 | Mollie Hemingway

Posted on 08/29/2014 1:16:03 PM PDT by right-wing agnostic

Everyone’s making fun of the tan suit President Obama wore in Thursday’s press conference. I can’t lie and say I liked it, of course, but neither do I really care. There was something about the content of his remarks, though, that reminded me of this old World War II joke about the Allies giving the Italians a pounding.

The Germans decide to send one of their generals to meet with the Italian general in Sicily to improve matters. The latter is standing in front of his headquarters, filled with anxiety. The German general arrives dressed in a magnificent red tunic. “What a gorgeous tunic!” the Italian says. The German replies, “See! This is what is wrong with you guys. You see this and think of beauty whereas I wear it to improve troop morale!” He explains that if he ever gets wounded, his troops won’t see him bleeding and will continue fighting. The Italian takes this message to heart and shouts, “Giuseppe! Fetch me my brown pants!”

It wasn’t the suit that screamed “brown pants” to me so much as everything else that happened Thursday.

The most obvious error was that President Obama publicly announced something that’s been obvious for months — he has no strategy for how to deal with ISIS/ISIL. I don’t want to completely attack this, although the problems with this public announcement are many. At the very least this comment suggests that President Obama knows that we should have a strategy. We haven’t had a coherent strategy for how to deal with Iraq going back four presidencies.

Appearing resplendent yesterday in his new Coward-Yellow suit, Muslim B. Hussein Obama announced to America’s Mortal Enemy since 9-11-01, the Militant Muslims, that “We have no strategy, yet.” against Militant Muslims.

After five and a half years of on the job training, B. Hussein has failed to learn how to be the Commander in Chief of the most powerful Military that the World has ever seen, is truly a monument to B. Hussein’s inherent poor scholarship.

It is small wonder then why he chose to have his personal academic records sealed.

Ever fearful of making a decision that involves “going it alone” on Foreign Policy, B. Hussein will be traveling in style to Europe next week for a Community of Nations Organizing Committee Meeting, after the usual bilking of money from Democrat Donors from Wall Street, of course.

Curiously, B. Hussein has NO problem “going it alone” on US Domestic issues, as documented by his frequent illegal use of his pen, phone and Executive Orders.

BTW, will Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner continue to loyally fund the Military mis-adventures of Failed CIC Obama?

Will Boehner change his mind after 9-11-14?

Brown panties would be appropriate if you ask me.

“Mama, Mama, Emperor Obama has no clothes!”

“Shh, child, just pretend he’s wearing a brown suit.”

Some say he looks quite fetching in tan.

Why is this man leaning to his left?

Do all cowards also lean to the Left?

BTW, B.Hussein has changed his day job costume colors to match the colors of aging urine from yellow to brown.

I guess that is cheaper than continuing to buy DEPENDS (Tm).

Taupe is fetching, followed by Olive Drab and Imperial White for His Heinous, Our Dear Leader.

Purple robes were a bit much, so he opted for taupe - but the robes are on stand-by for messianic projections.

Remember when Naomi Wolf dressed AlGore in a brown suit to show his beta gentle side. This is Obama being a beta. That wasn’t the time and place for that suit.

I think you confused ‘beta’ with ‘bottom’.

For that was his projection to the Jihadist world.

Bathhouse Barry is not a metrosexual “beta” — he’s an on-the-down-low “bottom.”

The first few words sum up the present times; “Everbody was making fun”. Reality can be so ridiculous, you sometimes need to just laugh it off. “Who’s Your Habadasher, Mr.O?, some “Wild & Crazy Guy” we used to know and love.

I heard a caller on the Hugh Hewitt radio show say a variation of this joke yesterday.

Ronald Reagan’s strategy shown at the article is concise and accurate.

What do the “reporter’s” concentrate on. His tan suit! nd not his complete lack of ability in anything. Here is an obama clone as Pajama boy http://thefederalist.com/2013/12/17/dozen-funniest-variations-obamas-pajama-boy-propaganda/

He is just getting us used to seeing him in a dictator uniform, not unlike the one Gadaffi wore.
