Is that Eric Massa?

We have a foreign alien for a president. He is most loyal to the 3rd world and the Muslims. He can’t suck up to them enough! And can’t disrespect Great Britain, France and Europe enough

LOL

When in Rome do as the Romans do. I just wish that when Obama was in America, he would do as Americans do.

Big deal. He isn’t the first President to wear traditional outfits. Won’t be the last.

True, but he will be the first to do so in the country where he lived for several years as a child.

[rintense]

Again. Big deal. Tying this to any birhter/citizenship stuff is silly.

Put that thing away. Yer scarin’ the dog.

Obama blithely jaunts around the world oblivious to the deafening roar from what he considers 'his subjects' over his blatant disregard of their overwhelming rejection of his 'ObamaCare' nationalized health care. Obama has planned a family visit to Java.

Perhaps if Krakatau (Krakatoa) awoke, his deafness could be cured.

Krakatoa: East of Java
(Actually west of Java, geographically.)

1883 eruption of Krakatoa
The best-known eruption of Krakatua culminated in a series of massive explosions on August 26–27, 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic events in modern and recorded history.

With a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 6,[3] the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT (840 PJ)—about 13,000 times the nuclear yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 kT) that devastated Hiroshima, Japan during World War II and four times the yield of the Tsar Bomba (50 MT), the largest nuclear device ever detonated.

The cataclysmic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Western Australia, about 1,930 miles (3,110 km) away, and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, about 3,000 miles (5,000 km) away.

Have shower curtain will travel Michelle is just giddy about the idea Obama wants to wear his mini skirt miffed.

This is a trip to redistribute wealth to Muslim countries. He’s giving out money (I think $100 million was mentioned to assorted counries.) Most suspect it’s to deliver yet another payoff to Indonesia to keep his records under wrap.

Sarong, it ain’t a shroud, but it’s a start.......

Well, at least not worn - yet anyway - in our White House. . .certainly 'figure flattering' for Michelle/sigh.

There is SOMETHING Sarong about that. Something TERRIBLY Sarong.
