Why, it look all right to me.

We have all been annoyed by the backward-hat crowd, whether pulling up alongside us with blaring music, sauntering around in crappy clothes at the malls, and just plain looking stupid. Just saw on MSNBC our President-Elect saunter out of a store in a white t-shirt and blue jogging pants with his hat on backwards and a scowl on his face. When he saw a crowd, he reached up and turned his hat around the right way and broke into a big toothy smile as he went up to shake hands with the totally young crowd all pleased with their Messiah.
So you are an asshat... ok. Big deal. Your head is on backwards. ok.

That's what it was, humblegunner. This weirdo got all fixated on that and tried to drag others along on his sick little fantasy. He wasn't making any real sense; he was just sort of blathering off.
He's fun to laugh at, though. ;-)
Oh, I'm sure you're aware that I could and far more deftly than you could ever dream of doing. That's essentially what's driving your behavior, isn't it?
Thing is, I choose to which posts and issues I will respond. I do not require or allow some weinie off the street to make those decisions for me.
And you can't stand that, can you? LOL
Anyway, my mother always told me not to argue with idiots, so I'm done with you. You can have the "last word" and I'm sure many will find it entertaining, to say the least. ;-)
No kidding! I’m not holding my breath until I see cartoons or doctored photos of him as a monkey, though (racist, ya know).
I dont think there is anything wrong with it, per se. It depends on the circumstances, and the person. I would not want a President to do it. Then again, I would not want a President to dress like me. Not only will he be Head of Govt, he will be Head of State, which carries with it representing the US in matters of tradition and culture etc.
Nope, you're not a racist. The moonbats called candidate Bush a chimp since he dared to run against algore. Now we'll have an ape-in-chief in the Oval Office.
I would use the rubber verses glue defense but you probably wouldn’t understand.
To think you could know something about someone you have never met because of their hat is just plain stupid.
Obviously the vast majority of Americans know you can judge and learn a lot about a person by his friends, manor, dress, and the way he/she speaks and carries himself/herself. Next time you and your backwards hat friends get together, take an inventory of yourselves....
Actually, that is his bus driver. His wife, as we all know, is "beautiful".
I like us just fine. You on the other hand wouldn’t fit it unless you pulled the stick out of your butt.
Whatever.
You’re all talk, no substance.
Begone.
The whole fad started in prisons. Inmates would turn the hat backward allowing him to get his face closer to the bars...
Why, it look all right to me.
Someone should tell him it accentuates his ears to a ridiculous degree. That should make him abandon that silly affectation!
Got a source for that? Sounds like BS to me.
This may be insight to his way of thinking!
Damn, and here I was thinking that Obama was walking around a mall with his hat on backwards. Why didn't you tell me that he was riding a motorcycle, or was he traversing the desert with the high sun at his back?
Just a few honest questions, (not that I would expect an intellectually honest answer); but why is that only fairly recently the wearing of a baseball cap backwards isn't considered to be a-typical or a counter-culture statement? How'd that happen? When did looking like a moron become culturally acceptable? And lastly, why don't you wear your pants backwards too, you could make the claim that it would make sense for those suffering from diarreah or incontinence? A sort of 'quick release' function. And the sad lack of manhood in America could easily explain the lack of a zipper in front.
You know, I'm beginning to think there are a few sock puppets on this thread. What would someone do with a cap while inside a building or not wanting the shade, but not wanting to wad it up in a pocket or place in down somewhere that it might be forgotten (or in Obama's case, snapped up for auction on e-bay)? It's the same with sunglasses. Most people push them up on their heads so they are immediately available when needed. There are perfectly practical reasons for doing these things, and to try and make it some kind of secret signal or something is just plain silly.
