happened at Ray's Hellburger, right near the Arlington County, Virginia, courthouse. That branch of Ray's has closed down, no doubt on orders of the DNC.

That the tan suit was simply “not Presidential.”
He should have matched it with a 4 foot long red tie and full-blown psychosis, that would have been OK.

I keep a couple just for amusement- according to them he’s the Most Corrupt President in the History of the Institution with a list of scandals 3 pages long, and should spend the rest of his life in prison (if not executed) alongside his even more corrupt pal HRC. There actually is an alternate universe here.

They lost their minds about that for years! I personally think it was better than leading by Twitter or abdicating leadership all together!

On vacation to the Grand Canyon. In Arizona. In the summer.

Michelle Obama said she doesn't have many fashion regrets but admitted she does regret the time she wore shorts while stepping off of Air Force One because it "created a huge stink."

And he also outraged the Chinese by arriving in a U.S. made car!


Obama chewed out for gum goof in China



People in China took to the internet to criticize President Obama for getting caught on camera chewing gum as he arrived at an economic summit in Beijing. Some also took offense to his method of transportation.

There was the tan suit, the incident of saluting with the coffee cup, and the gum chewing. That's it. And since this was the one which wasn't mentioned, I thought I'd add it. I agree, I yearn for a mere gum chewing outrage again...
