I live on the opposite side of the world and even I remember when Obama wore a fucking tan suit once more than 10 years ago because Republicans threw such a big tantrum over it.
But what about that elitist Dijon mustard he put on his hamburger? That was a real travesty.
Or the time he served too many peas at dinner?
The terrorist fist jab
Telling a voter that to help climate change at a very small individual level they could make sure their car tire PSI is up to the recommended level.
Then Republicans said that that was "Obama's foreign policy".
Or how about when they pretended "lipstick on a pig" was a slight to Palin?
Or how about when they forced him to reaffirm "In God We Trust" on the money.
Or how about Michelle Obama just fucking existing and claiming she's a man.
Fuck all of them.
Her sleeveless dresses practically made all the regressive's dicks shrivel up and fall off.
He put his shoes on the Presidential Desk!
... as has basically every President in the last 40 years, in at least one photo, but Augh freak out when Obama does it!
I don't remember that one.
Michelle and Barack did a fist bump and a Fox News commentator called it a "terrorist fist jab"

How else could republicans attack a guy who deported more people, bombed more countries, and saw the immiseration of more black families than either Bush or Trump? Right-wing democrats are more competent at being republicans than actual republicans.
They freaked out because of the choice of leaf in his salad! (Arugula) That obviously makes him the Antichrist.
And a man of good taste; Arugala is best salad
And dijon is the superior mustard. It's just further proof that some people have more money than sense and just want what they've always had.
I mean really it's that some people's interface with the world is backwards.
Instead of it being like
"Facts" -> "Emotions"
for many people it's
"Emotions" -> "Facts"
They don't like Obama. Therefore, whatever he did is bad. That's it. They're like the common clay of the new west.
I think Seth Meyers did a thing about how the right wing was freaking out about Biden having ice cream and saying that's unpresidential and for old people, but like literally the same week Trump had ice cream and it was not a problem.
I ~~retired~~ tried dijon after that, and you know what? It's fuckin awesome.
Edit: Auto incorrected.
That's such a perfect microcosm of how unabashedly childish they are. I get that most of them are probably racist but HOW can you POSSIBLY care about someone wearing a tan suit? If I was Obama I would have worn it every day for a month just to spite them. It's the same as when they shat their pants when AOC got like a $300 hair treatment or something. It pisses me off so much.
