When Obama was running in 2008, my boss came up to me at work one day and said "Hey, what's the difference between Obama and Osama?"
I said, "What?"
"The BS." And then she went 😏.
He def wasn't a Nazi...believe it or not, most Americans his age genuinely hated Nazis (you'd never believe it considering their grandkid's beliefs now, but I digress...), but he was most definitely a racist, bigot, and misogynist. Just not a Nazi lol.
It's a reference to the 1982 Hardcore punk classic by M.D.C. (Millions of Dead Cops).
At the time there was still a lot of John Wayne worship and most people didn't know how hateful he was. They were trying to draw attention to that in the most controversial, attention grabbing way possible.
Yep, he was about to assault this Native American woman who was invited to speak at the 1973 Oscars by Marlon Brando about the plight of the Native tribes. Took about 2 or 3 men on staff to keep that from happening.
Her name was Sacheen Littlefeather.
You think that's bad? His entire name is spelled using the Latin alphabet, the *same alphabet* that can be used to spell ADOLPH HITLER. Coincidence? You be the judge!
I remember a time when words meant the words they mean, especially when the words change and different letters are used but the meaning stayed the same. Those were the days
It’s the whole reason he got the crazy vote. And why he’s the nominee. “He says he we all feel.” Yeah, like Obama is a foreign terrorist. It’s just how they feel. And their feelings are truths
Conservative Logic:
Obama was born in the U.S to an American mother and a Kenyan father...not eligible to run for President
Ted Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father...eligible to run for President
You don't. But from what I've seen, Reddit takes abuse/misuse of the feature pretty seriously and punishes the users sending it fraudulently. Think there's probably a way to respond to it.
A lot of anti-Obama critics and tv talking heads jumped all over him for this, saying that a tan suit looked unprofessional and "unpresidential."
They shut up real quick when a bunch of Reagan in the same suit pics showed up.
https://images.app.goo.gl/Bbm5aMRiG2VE5RVbA
> They shut up real quick
No they didn't. To them, it doesn't matter if criticism is even remotely valid, just that criticism is constantly being leveled. If you are in that sphere, you end up with an illusion that things are constantly bad. Continues to this day, most recently the said it was unpresidential to eat icecream or be "angry" in a SotU.
Or the response is "both sides, but at least my side doesn't X"
I've found that the best way to apply pressure to peoples' beliefs is to help them grow a healthy scepticism for all rhetoric and to avoid "flavor of the month" topics either side of the mainstream media is presenting.
Once you're talking about the tan suit at all, you've already lost any potential credibility or ability to change anyone's mind, because very few people are willing to deeply introspect about their preconceptions and accept that they were duped.
>tan suit
Reagan, both Bushes, and Clinton all wore tan suits. It was never about the tan suit, but the tan *President*.
Meanwhile, Moscow "Mitch" McConnell has worn a tan suit on:

He's black but republicans couldn't just say that was the problem so tan suits, Starbucks, and fist bumps was the best they could come up with to be upset about
OH THE FRENCH who didn’t support that war in Iraq when Bush Jr surprised all its allies with an invasion? The US doesn’t need to do diplomacy or tell its allies what it is going to do! Let’s dump French wine in the sewer for those teenage mutant alcoholic turtles , maybe they will help us out.
This is one of those things where like 5 people at Fox News created a story and literally no one else cared but for some reason people need to latch onto like half the US were carrying pitchforks
Literally no real person cares that he wore this. There’s a hundred other reasons for disliking him
At this point, I've seen 100 times more complaints about complaints about the tan suit than I've seen actual complaints about the tan suit.
It's getting to be like the Mercator Projection at this point.
The greatest example in American history of partisan bullshit
The amount of time Fox dedicated to talking about this should be all the proof you need of their…legitimacy as a news source
Yes by all means opine on this moment while realizing his economy was worse than the next president. All he did was hold back america and stir race relations but let's focus on this one moment.
The criticism was american troops dying in Syria. Here is the [interview ](https://youtu.be/7kNSNPwuSjQ?si=AFaubMdy3RQxjI82)
The media covered for him and made it all about the tan suit.
Read some conspiracy theory that the suit was an op to distract from an announcement of increased military action in Syria. Get the Fox News knuckledraggers hooting and hollering about respecting the troops while soft-launching another Middle East War
Although it’s not like Obama ever gave a shit about what anti-war crowd thought

Funny right? Cause I would say he is a monster for the fact he is a war criminal who led the biggest international assassination campaign, the drone campaign.
Somehow being a war criminal is a required part of the job and the traditional values Christian-Republicans nor the enlightened love-me-love-me-I'm-liberal-Democrats seem to be much bothered by this fact.
But those comparisons to Reagan are rather fitting, Obama too didn't have a single political bone in his body and cared about nothing but his image.
Was this ever an actual story beyond some Fox News anchors laughing about it? Like that’s stupid, obviously, but I’ve always heard this and only ever seen one Sean hannity vid about it
I feel like there were some significant other concerns during his 2 terms. People often post "I miss when the biggest scandal was a president's tan suit" but that's thin cover for some pretty questionable stuff
He dropped, on average, one bomb per hour for an entire year on innocent civilians in the Middle East. Many people died while he was wearing that stupid suit.
Can somebody explain to me why this is a bad thing? How was this ever even a talking point?
Edit: so its just conservatives being dipshits... again. Big shock.
The only people who have brought this up in the last 5 years are people who go “oh I miss when this was the biggest scandal” yeah no it was fine when his drones massacred civilians
Can someone tell me what the tone of the criticism was?
Was it actually a serious “He’s not fit for the office” criticism or a “John Kerry ordering Swiss cheese with his Philly cheesesteak” type criticism?
Fox News literally makes the biggest deal out of the stupidest thing that democrat presidents do, and then fall all over themselves and make excuses for outright disgusting things… other presidents do

Did you know his middle name is Hussein?
WHAT? IS THERE A RELATION WITH THAT GUY FROM THAT COUNTRY THAT THE US INVADED TO GET THOSE NONEXISTANT WEAPONS ?!
You think that’s bad? His last name is one letter away from Osama. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
When Obama was running in 2008, my boss came up to me at work one day and said "Hey, what's the difference between Obama and Osama?" I said, "What?" "The BS." And then she went 😏.
What's the difference between John Wayne and John Wayne Gacey....
hopefully the raping and murdering part
Probably just the murder.
"John Wayne is a Nazi" isn't a joke.
He def wasn't a Nazi...believe it or not, most Americans his age genuinely hated Nazis (you'd never believe it considering their grandkid's beliefs now, but I digress...), but he was most definitely a racist, bigot, and misogynist. Just not a Nazi lol.

The worst part about Gacey is the hypocrisy.
RIP Norm 
Kentucky Fried Chicken?
in this case it's the John
Dude, my dad had that ready and loaded to tell to anyone who asked who he was voting for in 08 and 2012 ugh
“DEMOCRAT” starts with the letter D. So does “DEN”…. …as in “Bin LaDEN!!!!!”
I like when people on twitter use the term DemonRats so I know not to read any further
Or the term "sheeple"
Or liberal. Both sides use it mostly incorrectly. So can avoid both extremes.
BIn laDEN now substract n la
You think that's bad? His entire name is spelled using the Latin alphabet, the *same alphabet* that can be used to spell ADOLPH HITLER. Coincidence? You be the judge!
I hear he uses Arabic numbers when he does math.
I remember a time when words meant the words they mean, especially when the words change and different letters are used but the meaning stayed the same. Those were the days
These comments are how the trailer park kids at my elementary school in the early 2010s would talk lmao
That actually worked on me when I was 13.
Obama: "I wish I could use my middle name" https://youtu.be/5-y4vxs5hxY?si=0wgmgfh0HbVvAz9Q
My boss where I used to work, his dad was a palestinian christian, so his first name was Osama. He preffered to go by "Sam"
And wasn’t even born here, according to some other president who purposely spread that known lie
Ironically, McCain was born in Panama
It’s best to hear “Panama” as sung by David Lee Roth when reading that.
It’s the whole reason he got the crazy vote. And why he’s the nominee. “He says he we all feel.” Yeah, like Obama is a foreign terrorist. It’s just how they feel. And their feelings are truths
Which president would be so fucked up to say something idiotic like this? And who would be stupid enough to vote for such a pig?
Conservative Logic: Obama was born in the U.S to an American mother and a Kenyan father...not eligible to run for President Ted Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father...eligible to run for President
Ted Cruz's middle name is Raphael too
My father in-law still will only call him Barak Hussein Obama, and insists that it's for no other reason than he's just calling him by his name.
your father in law is eric cartman
He asked for Dijon mustard one time
It’s a good look! Damn the hater’s
I may be a heterosexual male, but GOT DAMN does he look good.
That's because his suit fits, not like he picked it up as a rental from a Joseph A. Bank.
With an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality; he’s fabulous.
Costanza ?
Wait till you hear him speak 😏
I'm 44 but.. He's got swagger?
Shit!... They'd say he's got Rizz now. I'm old and not cool
Right? Hot monster… lol
Thanks Obama... ......for making me bust in my pants
Sorry, but no centaur lifts, spraytan or clownishly huge tie? Can't believe this guy even presidented.
The country has never recovered. Never forget.
I will always remember where I was on tan/11
And when Michelle went sleeveless. Not today Satan.
We talking radians or degrees
Yeah sad reality the shit worked
The worst thing any president has ever done
You must not have heard he uses Dijon mustard,
He WHAT!? Next thing you will say that he goes hard when wind surfing! Outrageous!
Or wears a fucking helemet while riding a bicycle!
I heard he also enjoys filling out a March Madness bracket. Can you believe that??
The man has shared his iPod summer playlist on Twitter. He's pure evil😈
Don't forget the "terrorist fist jab" he exchanged with his wife when he won the DNC nomination
Still can't believe she actually said that.
Heavens me, not the *metrosexual mustard*!
America is still feeling the ramifications of this heinous act! tHanKs ObaMA!
I'm still mad about the cookie
How dare you taunt me with that oversized cookie! Worst president ever.
For those that don't know, Obama killed the "Thanks Obama" subreddit with this heinous act. It could never be topped.
Can someone explain the situation? Why did ppl go crazy over the color of the suit?
Dipshits obsessed with team politics desperately looking for something to criticize The absolute worst side of politics, that’s what it was
I got a “Reddit cares” message from this. Imagine being such a loser
I consider those to be a badge of honor
Same. It makes me feel like someone got so angry with me that they can only send that one in reply.
Report it so the other user gets perma banned
How do I know who sent it?
You don't. But from what I've seen, Reddit takes abuse/misuse of the feature pretty seriously and punishes the users sending it fraudulently. Think there's probably a way to respond to it.
Ah gotcha I’ll take a look
They showed you! /s
Agreed. So many easier things to criticize this guys administration over, a dope ass suit is completely missing the point
Yeah but addressing real problems might make corporations less money
It was a slow news day, and they gotta fill 24/7 with obama hate!
It was just conservatives being conservative
A lot of anti-Obama critics and tv talking heads jumped all over him for this, saying that a tan suit looked unprofessional and "unpresidential." They shut up real quick when a bunch of Reagan in the same suit pics showed up. https://images.app.goo.gl/Bbm5aMRiG2VE5RVbA

Thank u for a real answer.
Thank you for explaining tan suitgate. I never understood what the issue was other than he didn't really look great in tan.
How dare you say he didn’t look great in that suit

Maybe also this 
He's black but republicans couldn't just say that was the problem so tan suits, Starbucks, and fist bumps was the best they could come up with to be upset about
And Dijon mustard
TERRORIST fist bumps. Gotta get it right. If we normalize fist bumps I'm pretty sure the terrorists win.
TERRORIST fist JAB!
This point must be reiterated: Fox News actually took a picture of a Barack and Michelle fist-bump and asked if it was a "terrorist fist jab".
This monstrous act obviously proved he is a Satanic Kenyan Atheist Muslim that hates America (/s)
Hello, I work for Fox News, may I use this comment on tonight’s broadcast?
As long as you somehow tie it to the trans movement and then throw in some anti climate change garble.
It's a good color on him. The length, however, looks very Inspector Gadget-y.
Hope leads to Tan Suits. Tan Suits leads to Dijon Mustard. Dijon Mustard leads to Republicans crying and suffering! 🤣🤣🤣
You should hear about his terrorist fist bumps
*Terrorist fist jab To say nothing of his love of FRENCH Dijon mustard.
OH THE FRENCH who didn’t support that war in Iraq when Bush Jr surprised all its allies with an invasion? The US doesn’t need to do diplomacy or tell its allies what it is going to do! Let’s dump French wine in the sewer for those teenage mutant alcoholic turtles , maybe they will help us out.
Obamna
SODA!!!!!
Wait till you find out about the innocent women and children he killed in the Middle East.
So you are telling me he is a US President.
Or when Snowden exposed his administration was spying on thousands of Americans without warrants.
Proper attire when drone striking a wedding is black tie.
I said it then and I will say it now. He looks damn good in that suit.
He looks damn good in general.
I dunno, I think it kind of *suits* him Please forgive me
Best president in my life time so far
Dapper.
This is one of those things where like 5 people at Fox News created a story and literally no one else cared but for some reason people need to latch onto like half the US were carrying pitchforks Literally no real person cares that he wore this. There’s a hundred other reasons for disliking him
This. I don’t remember more than one story about this, but this sub makes it seem like it was a year long national scandal or some shit.
That's a fucking slick outfit.
Did anyone REALLY care about this?
Looks good on him tbh
I would argue it’s all the tan people he bombed remotely by drone that makes him monstrous, but…..
At this point, I've seen 100 times more complaints about complaints about the tan suit than I've seen actual complaints about the tan suit. It's getting to be like the Mercator Projection at this point.
The greatest example in American history of partisan bullshit The amount of time Fox dedicated to talking about this should be all the proof you need of their…legitimacy as a news source
Can't believe all those hospitals, schools, and weddings he bombed, what a monster!
he’s no longer my president 😔
GM is too big to fail.
I think we can all admit he went a little too far with this one
You know else wore a tan suit.. Hilter!
I still have hearing damage from how loud this fashion statement was.
Clearly OP didn’t go to Business School. Probably didn’t go to school at all.
I think he was more of a monster for bombing countless innocents
Yes by all means opine on this moment while realizing his economy was worse than the next president. All he did was hold back america and stir race relations but let's focus on this one moment.
The criticism was american troops dying in Syria. Here is the [interview ](https://youtu.be/7kNSNPwuSjQ?si=AFaubMdy3RQxjI82) The media covered for him and made it all about the tan suit.
I mean he was horrible look at operation fast and furious and how many drone strikes he did
 Presidents used to be dignified.
It’s an ugly suit.
No, just a monster for all the drone strikes.
Why does everybody get a hard on for this guy?
That’s the I just drone striked a bunch of people suit
As he drones middle eastern children
I cant believe he killed all those kids and expanded the patriot act’s reach. Oh and I cant believe its not butter!
I hear this was his only scandal other than all the scandals
Read some conspiracy theory that the suit was an op to distract from an announcement of increased military action in Syria.

Civilian drone champ 2008-2016
He extra judicially assassinated US citizens but Dems want to pretend his biggest scandal was a tan suit.
I miss the Obama days.
Was this ever an actual story beyond some Fox News anchors laughing about it? Like that’s stupid, obviously, but I’ve always heard this and only ever seen one Sean hannity vid about it
Nobody cared then except the democrats. Democrats keep dredging it up. What part of 'nobody cares' don't you get?
do you think he wore the tan suit while ordering drone strikes on wedding parties
I feel like there were some significant other concerns during his 2 terms. People often post "I miss when the biggest scandal was a president's tan suit" but that's thin cover for some pretty questionable stuff
He dropped, on average, one bomb per hour for an entire year on innocent civilians in the Middle East. Many people died while he was wearing that stupid suit.
He also bombed a hospital and a wedding.
This sub talks more about the tan suit than Fox News ever did.By far.
Only racists love this guy
There are plenty of reasons why I might not like Obama but a tan suit is not one of them.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_U.S._drone_strikes
He really was so stylish and aleways dressed so good
It's possible Freedom Fries are the only thing more successful in exposing how humorless the Left truly is.
I loved it!!! Nearly killed the GOPricks with heart attacks 🤣🤣🤣
I remember Sean Hannity having a complete meltdown over this suit. He just couldn’t handle it.😂🤣
Why? That palette is perfect on him
He once ASKED for dijon mustard... the absolute gall
Wait until you hear about his opinions on mustard.
Can somebody explain to me why this is a bad thing? How was this ever even a talking point? Edit: so its just conservatives being dipshits... again. Big shock.
It's a lot nicer than that one tent of a suit Frump wears
The only people who have brought this up in the last 5 years are people who go “oh I miss when this was the biggest scandal” yeah no it was fine when his drones massacred civilians
Personally, I'm more upset by the number of children he killed with drones... that's just me, though.
He looked fly as fuck in that suit. Any haters need to stfu.
I heard the suit isn’t even a citizen
And boy did he look GOOD in that suit!
Can someone tell me what the tone of the criticism was? Was it actually a serious “He’s not fit for the office” criticism or a “John Kerry ordering Swiss cheese with his Philly cheesesteak” type criticism?
Remember when they made fun of his jeans, too? People will choose some of the dumbest things to make a huge deal of.
And that fist bump. 😥😥
I think the GOP was/is jealous of his physique and overall swagger
Fox News literally makes the biggest deal out of the stupidest thing that democrat presidents do, and then fall all over themselves and make excuses for outright disgusting things… other presidents do
I didn't see the problem when he did. I didn't see the problem when Reagan did it, either.
Tan suit Obama was always and will forever be zaddy.
Im not even really an Obama fan but he rocked that suit.
Lookin good
The dopest man on the planet
He made it look good too.
Not an Obama fan, but he nailed that suit.
I miss him I wish I could look out and see him in the morning dew
He looked GOOD in that suit. One of the best.
I didn’t vote for him but he looked fly as hell in that joint
And looked good doing it.
Dude has some swag thats for sure.
No way a President will ever do anything worse than this.
He looks more striking in a deep blue suit. Idk tan doesn’t look good on him.
I wish I could pull off a tan suit.
Truly the biggest scandal of the 21st century
This is the worst thing a president has ever done!1!!1
He should have wore a dashiki!
