Obama’s Dress Code for Sweetie

According to Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown, who is accompanying Obama on his trip to the Middle East and Europe, Obama’s campaign sent out a “dress code” that especially targeted female reporters as to the appropriate attire while traveling in Israel and Jordan.Obama press told to cover up, not wear green. No green. That is the color of Hamas. Also no nail polish, a limited amount of jewelry, covered shoulders and arms, closed-toed shoes, and stockings for women. (Do they make stockings anymore?) Women must also be prepared to cover their heads.

“I didn’t know the reporters worked for Obama...”

Well, they’re certainly not working for McCain!

Personally I think it's good custom to respect local dresscodes when travelling, even if it may be uncomfortable. This is of course especially true when visiting sites of religious significance.

Not just a good custom, but generally a good idea if you want to make yourself a less likely target for criminals. Tourists tend to be a prime target for criminals like pickpockets. Dressing to blend in with the locals, as much as possible, makes you less of a target.

American tourists are bad at this- a family group of Americans in Paris dressed in shorts, sneakers and t-shirts and carrying all of their valuables in fanny packs stand out like a sore thumb to any criminal interested in relieving them of their valuables.

I will be 70 this election year.

During those years, I have seen some very scary rat presidential candidates and presidents, (Carter and Clintoon).

However, none of them scare me as much as Obama does.

“He just can’t wait to be king - that’s a song right?”

A very scary song!

I can’t grasp that the Lord really cares what one wears to church. That is one of the many reasons I do not attend religious services as for many people it has become a weekly fashion show for themselves and their children!!!

Is that an Hermes scarf?

Based on your choice of indefinite article, you probably know better than I. But at least one blog commenter (commenting on "Pelosi makes two goofs, a lie and a scarf - UPDATED") identifies it as such:

Hi! Just found your blog.
I collect Hermes scarves (not to wear as a babushka or hijab!) but as a normal American would, as decoration. Anyway, Hermes titles all of their scarves and the title for the one she is wearing is, "A walk in the park". I find this slightly ironic as this woman is unbelievably dumb and inexperienced (as evidenced by her mistakes and your interesting quote from the Reform Party of Syria). Her gaffes are serious and inexcusable and to her it's just a walk in the park.

green is not the color of Hamas, but the color of Islam. So the Obama tribe got that wrong, in their fear that they might be associated (correctly) with terror

Both Hamas and Islam have green as their "color".

Hammas "Emblem" Flag

Hammas Shahada Flag.

I think we should dress conservatively to avoid trouble - but long pants and a blouse should be fine. There’s no need for ridiculous mandatory-headscarf rules.

I guess you don't remember the big brouhaha here over the requirement that a female Lt. Col. Warthog driver and commander, wear the Muslim abaya, not drive, go nowhere unescorted by a male (her deputy in some cases) in Saudi Arabia? Here's the story about CentCom removing the requirement after Lt. Col. Martha McSally filed suite.

Many here supported the rule, or at least insisted that she should shut up and obey it. According the story above, at that point female military personnel were *still* not allowed to drive off of their bases, even on official business.

Kinda tough to ask them to respect our values and traditions without respecting theirs.

They do not respect ours and never will so who cares if we respect theirs as a matter of fact....

Theirs does not deserve respect. It amounts to slavery for women and for the west to sit back and cow tow to it leaves our freedoms in question further down in history. So no, western women who are not muslim should not cover their heads or bow to any other islamic custom that reduces them lower than the men they are traveling with, we either believe in equality in the West or we don't (I guess Obama's roots are showing).

It is to bad there are no real western men left that truly understand that freedoms are for both sexes in that group, but hey they are dems and using their brains...not their strong suit.

Some things do not deserve respect, islamic slavery of women is way up there on the list!

You don’t travel much, do you?

When you travel to another country, even a theocracy, you respect their traditions, including their dress code.

If you can’t do that, don’t go.
Simple as that.

And, yes, I do expect them to respect our traditions.
Most do, some don’t.
But being an asshole visitor in a foreign country will only get you into trouble.

Don’t tell me.
Tell them.

Buy an airplane ticket and wear a big “Allah Sucks” t-shirt.
See how that works out for you.

OK, that’s funny.

But we’ve exported our fair share of dubious fashions, as well.
Madonna, Miami Vice, to name a few.

Jordan I can see enforcing Islamic law

Well first of all, all that dress code Shiite is not really "Islamic" Law anyway. Dress standards vary between countries and regions. Second, as to such dress codes being enforced by Jordan:

This from the official website of Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordon

Queen Rania.

Also from the website

Sadly, in today’s world, too many of us are hesitant to accept and embrace those of different faiths and backgrounds. As Arabs and Muslims, we, in Jordan, see this affliction in the growing gap of perception, fear and trust between the Muslim world and the West, which has been evoked by the events of September 11 and beyond. We recognized the need to bridge this gap, and to restore the true image of Islam that has been tarnished by extremists who claim to act in the name of God, which is why, during the 2004 Holy month of Ramadan, Jordan issued the Amman Message, which emphasizes the Islamic values of tolerance, social equity and respect for one another. The country has since then hosted several international conferences where, amongst other global participants, religious scholars, from all eight schools of Islamic thought, came together to condemn extremism, reject violence and call for moderation.
