Reuters breathlessly calls him uber-cool.
The president-elect, looking uber-cool with his White Sox baseball cap on backwards, flipped the shaka to a crowd of about 30 people as he left a gym on a Marine Corps base on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he is vacationing.
Funny, I don’t allow my kids to wear the baseball cap backwards. Just always seemed to me like a thuggish, punk look. And yet Reuters just thinks it’s awesome.
Is This a President?

But he’s wearing a “swoosh” tee and prolly smokes Kools ‘cuz he de man.
I wonder how many Marines had their daily work-out disrupted so the gym could be cleared to allow The One to do his exercise routine?
Oh, and by the way… Real Men smoke Camel non-filters!
What’s worse — the adoring msm or their rock star/messiah? Just too cool for me, I guess.
And a White Sox fan, to boot.
he looks like a girl from the hood – one of the punks that deals only bigger weight and doesn’t use.
what a pathetic sight.
Dunno Bill, I dont think it matters what the hell he wears on vacation. That should be kept pretty private in my opinion. Bush wore a cowboy hat and there were people who probably had a problem with that too – but I doubt its anything we should be privied too.
If he was wearing a Che t-shirt, thats another story.
‘The One’ is sooo uber cool he also ‘pulled off’ the traditional ‘Shaka’ greeting. In case you’re not cool enough to know what that is, let NewsMax can help you out:
The hand gesture, also a common greeting in surfer culture, consists of curling the three middle fingers and extending the thumb and little finger.
At least he didn’t use his traditional gesture:

I don’t mind the backwards hat myself, in principal. However, it doesn’t look very presidential does it?
It probably doesn’t matter what he wears on vacation. It matters more than a little that purportedly serious news organizations are using the kind of girly gushtalk usually confined to notes passed in junior high (or, in this century, texted with heavy use of emoticons). Seriously, they’ll nominate him for the Nobel Prize for Economics if he can calculate the tip right in the Oval Room.
PS: I still love Leif Garrett. Now HE is uber-cool;)
Challenge, can anyone prove this wrong?:–
1. Constitution Article II requires USA President to be “natural born citizen”.
2. BHO’s website admits his dad was Kenyan/British, not American, citizen when BHO was born.
3. BHO is therefore not a “natural born citizen” (irrespective of Hawaiian birth or whether he may be a 14th Amendment “citizen” of USA) — as confirmed in the Senate’s own McCain qualification resolution agreed to by BHO.
4. Supreme Court has already docketed two upcoming conferences, 1/9/09 and 1/16/09 — between dates Congress counts electoral votes (1/8/09) and Presidential inauguration (1/20/09) — to address Berg Case and fashion relief on BHO’s eligibility to be President.
5. Since no facts are in dispute, Supreme Court rules on Summary Judgment to enjoin BHO’s inauguration as President.
6. Therefore, BHO is not inaugurated as President.
7. Vice President Elect Biden is inaugurated Acting President under the 20th Amendment to serve until new President is determined — the procedure for which determination to be set out by Congress and/or the Supreme Court so long as in conformance with the Constitution.
Natural born citizen means that you are born here in the united states or on US territory, such as a military member has a child on a US base over seas. Has nothing to do with your parents. It is the reason so many illegal immigrants want their children born here.
It is for this reason that Obama’s birth certificate is in question, as only THAT can prove that he is a natural born citizen.
ted, my first reaction is that you state that SCOTUS passes “summary judgment,” that presumes that SCOTUS is acting as a trial court – that it holds original jurisdiction in these matters. that is not my understanding.
my understanding is that the several SOS’s at the state level are the targets of the suits. the substance being that they cannot place an unqualified person on the ballot. that the prospective ballotee (?) must affirmatively support their qualifications for the office they seek. the SOSs have thus far not done that.
the SCOTUS cases are a matter of law – do the SOSs have to require the affirmative qualification by prospective ballotees? if the answer is yes, then bambi needs to produce the cert. if the answer is no, then anybody can run for anything – and it will take some evidentiary standard – preponderance, etc – in order for the burden of proof to shift from the claimant back to the prospective ballotee.
that is my understanding of these cases. so summary judgment? no. off-point. i thin berg’s issue – and you may be bringing that in here – is that he filed requests for admissions which were ignored. that means that there are no material issues in controversy. i doubt it would happen, but in theory, you could see SCOTUS directing the trial court to conduct further proceedings consistent with appropriately filed and unresponded to ROAs. THAT would be the basis for filing for a summary judgment.
does that help?
Wow bill you dont let your kids wear their hats a certain way thats pretty rediculous and you and everyone else here should be ashamed of wasting your lives argueing over how he wears his hatas and also should be ashamed of being destroyed by a little kid
good day america
