on the plus side, George W. Bush in the polka-dotted Chinese silk garment at the G-20 will no longer hold the title of Silliest Photo of a U.S. President

I sense a lot of bowing is about to happen... What a complete jackass...

Hope to God it's not windy.
Wearing a sarong - bowing - a windy day...
The whole world would be puking at that sight.

WHY DO THEY CALL THEM THONGS? BECAUSE THAT’S THE SOUND THEY MAKE WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF.

Interesting Factoids:
Some 2.5 million tourists visited Borobudur last year. Indonesians pay 15,000 rupiah (US$1.60) to enter the compound while foreigners are charged US$15.
As Islam spread through Java after the 12th century, the “temple mountain” of Borobudur was abandoned and lost to the jungle.
It was “rediscovered” in 1814 by English colonial trader Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles and was restored with the help of UNESCO in the 1970s.

How precious! You're extremely cruel, sarcastic, and judgmental.
I like that in a person!

I wore a lava lava when stationed in the South Pacific and they are very comfortable, especially in hot humid weather. Like a scots kilt, you don’t ask what is worn under. If Obama and Michelle wear the same pattern they would be called ding-a-lings in HI where old tourists had a habit of moma in a moo moo and pop in an alhoa shirt wearing the same fabric pattern.

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

So I guess the Secret Service is busily practicing drawing from under sarongs now?
To: SvenMagnussen
They are actually very nice to wear when it is hot.
Not that I would know....or anything.....it was a party.
