Sweet vacation pic, hot off the press.

[tridim]

[bigwillq]

1. Cute pic

:)

[smalll]

2. Nice pic. But again with the mandals!

It sends the wrong message, he needs to give those up.

[notadmblnd]

3. What do you think he should be wearing on his feet?

What wrong message do you think it sends? Do you find bare feet offensive? At least he doesn't have socks on with them. Geesh!

[NoSheep]

6. Whatcha got against socks with sandals? LOL

:7

[notadmblnd]

8. I think it defeats the purpose of wearing them

I wear sandals because I want to keep my feet cool and the piggies loose. If I'm gonna wear socks with them I might as well wear shoes.

[mahina]

30. Nothing but it looks doofy.

Hey when we get older we're cool w that. I am.

[Cha]

43. Hey mahina~ Aloha!

Remember me? I'm finally coming back to Kaua'i in October to live. B-) So excited!:bounce:

:hi:

[karynnj]

15. What else would he wear on the beach or on a boat?

It seems completely normal to me.

[notadmblnd]

22. Yeah, me too. The poster I was replying to was complaining though

never answered what was wrong with it. I only object to socks with sandals.

[smalll]

25. What else would he wear on the beach or on a boat?

These perhaps --



Now those might come across a little too preppy, but mandals come across a little too latte. Perhaps THESE would be the best choice, all things socio-economically considered:

[mahina]

29. Rubba Slippa

Hey as long as he isn't wearing white socks with them he's still the coolest guy on the coast.
In fact, they look like formal attire, with the cross over straps.
I read you about boating etc. but I'm sure he isn't packing the sail bags either.
For the casual occasion...

[Beacool]

44. This is what is proper footwear on a boat.

You won't ever see a sailor in mandals.

;-)

[rasputin1952]

12. Remember this?...

Nightmare Alley!

[smalll]

23. Oh, I well remember that! Way worse! However, Bush was only photographed in that ONCE --

This pic is the FOURTH separate time I've seen our President photographed in mandals.

[WI_DEM]

34. with his presidential seal socks!

[xxqqqzme]

38. Did he need that seal on

EVERYTHING to remind him what role he was playing. What a total douche!

[Arugula Latte]

53. Bush probably wiped his ass on presidential seal toilet paper

Deep down he knew that he was a worthless douche failure who didn't really get elected to the presidency, so he had to get the trappings to convince himself he was really prezidentin'.

[Hekate]

18. Those are sandals, not "mandals." It's a unisex word, like "shoe." It's summer!

What kind of "message" do you think is supposed to be sent by sandals -- on the water -- in summer? The Prez is dressed like a normal human on a day off. It just strikes me as rather like insisting that Michelle wear short white gloves to tea.

We have pix of Bush wearing Crocs rubber clogs -- with short socks that have the Presidential Seal on them. Ew. Ew.

I think a substantial number of Americans are ready for the president to wear sandals, starting with 100% of Californians and Hawaiians.

I'm going to tell Ophimoimoi on you and he's gonna come over on his luau feets and tell you about rubbah slippahs. :P

Hekate

[smalll]

21. But California and Hawaii are already solid-blue states, at least Electoral College-wise.

In most other areas of the country, mandals come off across (not to put too fine a point on it) a little "latte."

[Hekate]

28. "Latte"? roflmao. He's gone formal with the sandals instead of rubbah slippahs already...

... but Latte? :rofl: oh no, oh no. You still get shave-ice with that. :rofl:

Hekate

[karynnj]

31. Did you have a problem with the short (and tight) shorts that President Clinton wore jogging ...

to McDonalds? Did you like all the obnoxious comments about some of Hillary's pants suits in 2008? I notice that where John Kerry was criticized for how he dressed biking - but noticed that there was not a peep when Scott Brown dressed in the same way for the 110 Pan Mass ride.

These sandals are well within what I've seen men wear - even in Indiana, not exactly the bluest state in the country. The fact is that there likely is NOT a man or woman alive that will always dress as you think they should.

[SoxFan]

35. Bill was known for his sartorial flair...

[WyLoochka]

37. Nonsense - even rednecks in Wyoming

wear sandals in the summer.

Talk about "latte," your insistent use of the non word "mandals" comes across as an obnoxious affectation to me.

[opihimoimoi]

33. Eh Brah, what your prob?? Peeple dying for lack of food, money, jobs..and you nit picking of fucking

slippers?

are you insane?

Worry about CO2....go plant trees...

and lisen to sistah Hekate

[Cha]

45. You tell 'em, brah..

I can't wait to get over to Kaua'i and put on my slippahs permanently ..that is when I'm not barefoot on the beach! :toast:B-)

[opihimoimoi]

49. LOL...sending beer and tako pupu

[Cha]

52. Mahalo nui loa!

B-)

[Cha]

20. It only sends the wrong message to idiots..everyone

else gets it.

[Whisp]

50. wrong message?

:rofl:

what the fuck is that wrong message?


lol.
omg.

THANK YOU!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[CTyankee]

54. We had a family discussion about those mandals!

My son in law is just two years younger than Obama. He's a big democrat. he won't wear mandals, no way, no how...I was teasing him, telling him how cute they look on Obama...

I don't get the "wrong message" thing...what am I missing?:hi:

[Steely_Dan]

4. Uh...Okay.

Thanks

[shireen]

26. 310 million perhaps? /nt

[Cha]

24. President Obama grew up in Hawai'i for those who

are having trouble wrapping their brain around his wearing sandals in the summertime around water and the beach.

Most people do this..I know I do..that or barefoot.

[Hekate]

27. It's pretty funny, isn't it?

[Cha]

42. It's hilarious when

people critique something they know nothing about.

[JuniperLea]

48. Thank you!

I was born and raised in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Unless I'm in the office, I'm either wearing sandals, flip-flops, or bare feet.

Shoes are unhealthy! Especially around the water. Unless it's cold, or your working, or walking on a hard or rough surface, let those little piggies be freeeeee!

[lunatica]

32. Look! He has a tan line on his upper arms!

His whiteness is showing!

I thought I'd change the subject from his mandals.

But my real thought is that he consistently behaves like a loving father to his daughters. It's obvious they love him too.

[JuniperLea]

47. Thank you... thank you... and thank you...

Yes, the obvious thing was the consistent loving father we see.

[TBF]

36. I think we should post pics of all the bankers on vacation too -

after all it is our money they are enjoying.

[okieinpain]

39. i could careless about the mandels, hope he likes the new congress

in nov. maybe this is how he plans on spending his last two years in office.

[yellowcanine]

40. What, no flag pin?

:sarcasm:

[nightrain]

41. sounds like a koffee klatch conversation....

[JuniperLea]

46. Heysoos fecking crisp!

Have we sunk this low that the man can't even wear a pair of fecking sandals without someone taking issue?

I'm really disgusted... absofeckinglootly disgusted that we've hit this new low.

Facepalm... to the back of the skull.

[DemocraticPilgrim]

51. Happiness at the tax payers sexpense well it's got to be a non scandal of the century. Great family

picture.
