Obamas Dress Code for Sweetie
According to Politicos Carrie Budoff Brown, who is accompanying Obama on his trip to the Middle East and Europe, Obamas 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.
Politico article: Obama ban: What not to wear where?
Actually green is a symbol of HAMAS in Israel. When the US State Department sent some "emergency money" to the PA a few years back the PA leaders buit some nice 50 bedroom houses with it. They commonly used green tile roofs or green tinted windows to signify their connection with HAMAS.
Yes, I said 50 not 15, I posted some pictures of the poor Palestinians mansions at that time.
cant blame BO on this one, Jordan is very strict on dress codes for women. His guidelines are standard traveler info.
The head scarf in question was a gift from the womwn Laua was meeting with. It would have been rude of her not o try it on, but she did not keep it on for the rest of the trip. I don’t think I have ever seen Condi in a head scarf nor Dana Perino.
Jordan is among the most progressive of Muslim countries. They have women serving in the legislature, and women have been voting there since the 1960s.
And obviously Israel doesn't require it.
That's probably a symbolic message to his radical leftie friends and supporters, who believe that Israel belongs to the Palestinians, so anything done there should be consistent with what the Palestinians want.
Obama is being silly at best, misogynist at worst. Maybe he's taking it out on other women as compensation for having to bow to his domineering wife.
That's an interesting theory.
I couldn’t get the thigh highs to stay up. Maybe duct tape.
Bravo.
Oh, brother. Portend of things to come?
