I can't vote for anyone who has such godawful taste in clothing...
man, woman, I don't care.. Suddenly, and yeah its a visceral reaction, I realized that deep down inside another reason I'd never vote for Obama is those hideous ties he wears.. He looks like he shops at Walmart..

If he can't be bothered to dress in something more appealing to do the business of the country, then I would never have been able to take him seriously from the start.. Hell, even if he took off his tie and rolled up his sleeves I could go with that.. But half the time he looks like she just stepped out of Goodwill..The ties are hideous.

Bizarre 70s hanger stuff..

Oh noes! SHE is racist! She demands that she dress Nice! "Clothes make the Man!" racism!


note to the irony impaired...this is almost an exact quote from the hillary clinton post.






:smoke: Enjoy the sacrasm.

1. At least none of his ties are ORANGE ...
I don't get the "pastel" thing with HRC. Maybe she thinks that wearing
serious (i.e., earth tones, even the dreaded BLACK) clothes will turn off
the WalMart crowd, but I personally find it downright funny to be hearing
about potential nuclear war against Iran from a woman wearing ORANGE (coupled
with a red shell no less!) or FUSCHIA. She's supposed to look like the
future president of the United States, not of the PTA, for Pete's sake!

3. I think she looks beautiful.....
If she were just wearing black/navy blue everyone would be complaining that she is trying to look too much like a man.

2. pleated pants, though. very 90s.
you look like you're wearing diapers when you sit down.

and the ties are pretty non-descript.

6. Idiot...you truly are an idiot.
The top one? That is an English-cut rep striped tie. All this tells me is that YOU are the one who shops at WalMart. One finds English-cut rep striped ties at fucking Brooks Brothers.

Geeeeeeez.....:eyes:

11. Well, as long as it comes from Brooks brothers...
then it must be nice-looking, right?

I like Obama...but I think he needs to get some different ties.

I'm a Target girl myself.

8. His wife picks them out.
Maybe Hillary can get Obama a discount at Walmart with all of her close ties to the company.

10. If he didn't look like he shopped at Turnbull & Asner
and J Press, you might have a point. He dresses too well to effectively poke fun at in this arena.
