This past Saturday, President Barack Obama attended the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, a traditionally black tie affair. And while President Obama's tie was certainly black, it was, however, long.

Was this a fashion faux pas? Or was it merely a youthful president exuding some personal style?

Take a look at the slideshow below and scroll down past it for the poll!

[Ilsa]

1. Oh the humanity!

[konnichi wa]

2. while President Obama's *** was certainly black, it was, however, long.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[HopeHoops]

3. Maybe he was trying to hide something!

A "cover-up" so to speak.

Michelle did look pretty hot, but then she always does.



OH WAIT - BREAKING FROM FOX:

"Are long ties the new terrorist fist bump?"

"Long ties, I mean what's up with that? Only socialist communist fascist liberal big spenders wear long ties" <-- from someone wearing a long tie.

"Researchers are now pointing to long ties as an early indicator of psychopathic mass murderer tendencies."

"Dijon mustard and long ties. Is there a connection? We'll have a report with Geraldo, live from Aruba, right after this." ---- "Do you have a problem with erectile disfunction?....."

4. Um.. when you are the guest-of-honor, maybe you CAN wear what you want

Maybe he did not WANT to wear the bow tie:)..Who's gonna tell him he HAS to wear one :)

[opihimoimoi]

5. Typical loser Bullies...nit picking and whining....thats their Best ...nitter critters

Newts Operation to reduce his head was not successful...still fat as ever...

[lunatica]

6. I think he's beginning to do it just to see their heads explode

He wants to see just how innocuous a thing he does gets their attention. He probably asked someone to buy a black tie just to see if he could pull their rage chain over at FOX and friends. And sure enough, they found his latest outrage. They still haven't gotten a clue that when he acknowledged anything they say it's only to ridicule it. But maybe they don't get that. Maybe it's too subtle for them.

7. A 'youthful indiscretion.'

Sheesh!!!

[Rex]

8. You know what? I don't care if he would have dressed up as a painted dildo...

he would STILL, STILL I SAY (yes as a painted dildo) be an improvement over George 'war criminal' Bush Jr. and his partner in crime, Dick 'go fuck yourself' Cheney! Am I wrong?

[JuniperLea]

17. Nope, you aren't wrong...

Nothing trumps the ghastly GWB and his prize Dick C.

[madamesilverspurs]

9. Well, here's one old lady

who thinks that he looked totally hot. What, they wanted him to come out there clown-stepping in cowboy boots like Bush did?

Gad, I'm so damn tickled to have a president who doesn't trigger the gag reflex, he could have showed up wearing sweats and I wouldn't have cared in the least.

[madrchsod]

10. if you are as "bad ass" as barack, you can wear anything anywhere...

[kestrel91316]

11. We care about this, exactly.......WHY?

[EFerrari]

12. That was one beautiful tie.

[dustbunnie]

13. To paraphrase the doctor character from the movie "State and Main" -

A tie is supposed to point to the genitals. Never trust a man who wears a tie that points to his ears.

[Hekate]

26. You owe me a new screen

:spray: :rofl:

[bigwillq]

14. How can we ever go on?

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

15. It depends...

Did the invitation say "black tie" or "black tie preferred?"

I've seen a lot of changes to the traditional tuxedo lately... no tie at all but a large black button at the neck is getting popular.

I've taken HuffPo off my reading list... they are just to freaking tabloid these days. THIS story belongs in a RW rag, not the HuffPo. Jeez.

[CatWoman]

16. by that logic, this dumb fuck should have his eyes gouged out

[QueenOfCalifornia]

18. This is HUGH!!!

Why can't we have a president who is a class act? Like this guy?

[dustbunnie]

19. The expression on that woman's face says so much.

"I'm bored. He's drunk. Thank GAWD he ain't mine and a blow job isn't in the schedule. Why does he keep leaning back into my space? Feck he's plastered!! Only two more hours and I'm out."

[QueenOfCalifornia]

20. He is a real gem

to share a space with:

[Hekate]

27. Actually I think that's his daughter. "If I just keep smiling and pretend everything is normal...

... like Mama taught me, then I won't have to deal with everyone thinking I'm the kid of a falling-down drunk. Oh wait, he *is* a falling-down drunk. And he *promised* this would never happen again. Oh shit, I'm stuck here... Keep smiling, everything's normal, watch Mama keep smiling too. I can hardly wait until I'm old enough for a Botox mask ..."

Hekate

[tanyev]

21. Oh, that's right. They don't watch the Academy Awards.

Fashionable men have been wearing tuxes with that kind of tie for several years now.

[KittyWampus]

22. and seeing how popular Obama is now, his wearing one would start a trend!

[juno jones]

23. The monks of Cool in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books

would take a young novice to a room filled with clothes have him select the coolest.

The correct answer: 'Whatever clothes I choose'. (paraphrased, Pratchett is much funnier)

Obama's definetly got Cool-Fu.

[RomanHoliday]

24. No one really wears bow ties anymore to the Oscars except George Clooney.

[onenote]

25. I guess the repubs are throwing ol' Fred Thompson under the bus again

Here's old fred at the 2007 WHCD:

[tnlefty]

28. Oh GAWD!!

I really wish that you hadn't done that. This Tennessean just wants to :puke:

[8 track mind]
