This was inspired by the following post, which was in response to some comments re Obama's having born in Hawaii.

i just wanna see someone sworn in to the presidency while wearing an aloha shirt. i was informed* that this was one of obama's campaign pledges.

* and by 'was informed' i mean 'made up', but he should do it anyways


So, who wants to see the next US president sworn into office in an Aloha ("Hawaiian" for those not in the know) Shirt?

Yeah I hate the whole formal idea. When being sworn in we should forget about all of our problems for a day and look rediculous.

Works for me.

Or the other reverse possibility on the poll.

we don't want to alienate the public too much. it is already asking quite a lot of them to elect a hawaiian in the first place.

I think as a publicity stunt Obama should throw a blueberry pie in Clintons face then run away, screaming.

I am not planning on voting for Obama. However, if he would promise to do this I would take him in a heartbeat. He would have the jocular attitude of Bill Clinton combined with proper know-how; how could you miss?

Standrad formal wear is fine. That and I won't vote for him unless he stops talking like his head is in the clouds.

Now, if he gets elected to a second term, the tacky clothes should come out.

when any story involving Obama is run, it's usually prefaced with one of the following...
"Hawaiian born candidate..."
"Candidate born in Hawaii..."
"Candidate with ties to Hawaii..."




so no, not really... ;) :p

He should get a pair of those glasses with the attached big nose, and ridiculous moustache.

That or the things that Bart bought at the joke shop, and glued to his face.

Either would work really.

I bet if you asked most people would either say he was born in Illinois or Thailand (or whereever that Muslim school he went to for a few years was). :rolleyes:

He was obviously born in Indonesia. Or Africa.

Either way, he's a dirty ebil extremist Muslim. After all, his middle name is Hussein! Obviously, this means he idolized Saddam.

Nono - that he IS Saddam. The one they excecuted was just a double.

That's why we invaded Iraq. WMD's was just a cover for destroying Saddam's cloning vats! They were so effective that this "Barack" Hussein doesn't look anything like him! It's the perfect cover!

"Barack" means "666" in Arabic. It's totally true. Snopes said so. He's the 666th clone of Saddam.

And in a clever ruse, the terrorists use the pig latin "ack-Bar" before they explode.
Just to hail their leader.
