So some company caught the president wearing their jacket and are using it in their advertising, and Obama doesn’t like that because images of the president aren’t supposed to be used for commercial purposes. Whatevs. The important thing is the description of the jacket Obama was wearing:
“The jacket has a fleece bib and removable bucket hood, suggesting that the president likes his jackets as he likes his health care bills: riddled with options.”
Removable bucket hood? I hope they did remove it. It wouldn’t have helped matters that while Obama was in China he got his head stuck in his own jacket.
I see nothing wrong with the ad. He makes a better model than he does as President. Maybe after this nightmare of an administration is over, he can get a job modeling? Unfortunately, I can’t really say the same for his wife. I recall sometime last year Blackberry capitalized on his image using their product.
It’s pretty obvious where his head is stuck…
When he isn’t wearing a tye; what keeps the foreskin from rolling over his eyes?
I’m such a fashionista.
My lord, is that image full of goodness.
A leader in style!
Indeed. Indeed.
I suspect a new government contract in the works for Weatherproof coats. I wonder how many thousands of dollars each unit will cost the tax payer?
Michelle Obama would be a great model for this year’s line of Klingon bat’leth weapons.
The big problem with the jacket’s cloth bucket hood is that it does not “clink” when it gets stuck on Teh One’s head, therefore giving his staff no warning of another bucket attack.
”…Draws White House Ire”, is code for, “Hey! No one payed me for the use of my picture in this ad! Show me the money!”
I don’t see where the mittens clip on to the ends of the sleeves. That could spell trouble.
As he is the CinC, I think he should have to wear Government Issue. No labels. Made in the USA. And of course, like the new Army (ACU) uniforms, covered in velcro and zippers. Because we have learned nothing from the ninja.
…And I’m sure he didn’t know anything about the ad, and rec’d absolutely no kickbacks. BHO doesn’t get up in the morning without first wondering “How can I make money today?”
Sure.
If the President’s image isn’t supposed to be used for commercial purposes, why was he doing commercials with George Lopez for his cruddy little late night talk show?
A leader in style my A$$!!!! I won’t be buying products from that company.
Gee. That jacket and his mom-jeans make a nice outfit!
The first thing I thought of when I saw the ad was “Weather underground” and I actually thought the ad was a dig. Guarantee O did too, or he would not give a rip about it.
Weatherproof Garments and Barack Obama. One ad, two things I don’t buy.
The Weatherproof coat ad has been up for a number of days now. The RedShed’s reaction so far has been pretty blase. Today, with a Keystone Kops on National Security image crisis, all of a sudden it’s a problem.
“Axlerod, cancel Abercrombie and Fitch.”

A Leader, Ch in ese Style
The coat looks like one of those “Members Only” jackets that were super-groovy back in the early 90s.
The photo is one of the “Deep Thoughts” series taken as he walked along the Great Wall.
Hey Obama check the left pocket there is an old snicker bar in there. Ok now eat it when no-one is looking. Ha ha it was dog turd.
