Odd, a couple of pictures I didn't like this time, and I usually ALWAYS like pictures of the President and First Lady, especially when they're together. This thread usually gives me a warm fuzzy.

Maybe it's my frame of my at the moment, but the picture of the President on his bike, and to a lesser degree, the pictures of the First Lady, un-fuzzed me.

To preface, let me say that my Bell Star helmet probably saved my life more than once in various motorcycle accidents, and I'm a big proponent of (voluntary) helmet-wearing on two-wheeled conveyances. Besides the fact that people who ride motorbikes are a bit "off" to begin with, the ones who do so without helmets are often too stupid to live.

But unlike bicycle helmets, my helmet was full-faced with mirrored visor, bright yellow, and way cool.

Today's bicycle helmets are just Dorky. I won't go so far as to use that word about the President, but you'd think the leader of the free world could have someone make a "cool" bicycle helmet for him.

Maybe an aerodynamic monocoque racing style painted red, white, and blue.

Even better, maybe he could wear one of the new style kevlar U.S. Army helmets, or tank crew helmet, if they even exist anymore. Now that would be cool, and I bet the troops would love it.

Here comes the heresy.

When I first saw the bicycle picture, I thought "What idiot posted a picture of Al Franken on this thread? Warm up the zot machine for this bozo".

Is the President wearing those rubberized sports eyeglasses in that picture? He's almost unrecognizable!

Maybe I'm the one that needs a new glasses prescription. Maybe I need to get my meds adjusted. Radically. Up the voltage. Whatever. I dunno. I just didn't like the picture.

Sticking with the mal-adjusted meds theory, I didn't like any of the pictures with the First Lady in a pants suit.

a) Laura Bush looks GREAT in a skirt.

b) I had just seen another thread which featured a picture of an unmentionable former First Lady in a white pants suit.

c) Flashbacks of Old Crusty.

I'm not "connecting the dots" or anything like that. I just don't want to see Laura Bush wearing pants suits. It gives me a feeling of anxious malaise.

I commented earlier that the photo of GWB on the bike is one of my least favorite photos of him ever!

RE: post 167

my frame of my = my frame of mind

...definitely need new meds....

I must admit I prefer the first lady in a skirt though she does have a grey and a black trouser suit that I like but I am not a fan of the light colour ones such as the one she worn yesterday.

I think it is jackets she tends to wear with them someone else commented that they are too short. I think the green one would have looked much better had the jacket been longer.

The white one she wore today looked much better with the longer jacket.
