How Do You Like THIS "Change," Obama?

In my opinion, it would look a lot more like Obama's White House if it had either a wall around it and onion domes showing; or perhaps a replica of the Brandenberg Gate down the street, with long red banners with the Obama campaign logo on them draped on the walls of the White House. Hey, if you're going to be offensive...

Cyrano,

Gotta agree!

I lived in Germany,(stationed) and know a bit of the history of Brandenburg.
Which is why I was so disgusted.
When Obummer decided to use it, and the Victory Column
As a backdrop, on his European election campaign.

Glock, that's what some thought the White House would look like with Slick Willy in it. Personally, I think it's more like what it would look like if Larry the Cable Guy won the Presidency.

Random thought, apropos of nothing: Has anyone given any thought to what the Obama White House would look like with a battalion of US Army MPs in those hideous new Class A blue uniforms, their usual white web gear, and the current issue MICH helmets without a cloth cover standing guard around it?

Of course you mean those uniforms that would be or are very similar the the UN uniforms? lol

That's not the outfit I had in mind. Think back to my original comparison. My comparison was with an organization rather more sinister.

Besides, the UN doesn't have a uniform, just those Blue Berets of Shame worn by the unfortunate troops seconded to UN control by their native governments when they are under UN command.

I really feel that the Army has made a serious mistake with this changeover to a blue uniform for their service dress uniform. Yes, I know that up until the Spanish-American War the Army uniform was an indigo blue, and that even after the Army went to the high-collared khaki uniform for service dress, the Army maintained the Dress Blue uniform for formal occasions, and Mess Dress Blue for super-formal occasions. Most soldiers not assigned to the Old Guard or White House or Embassy duties, even officers, might not have occasion to wear Army Blue even once a year in the course of a hitch. They still don't. Army Blue is equivalent to black tie in the civilian world, and Mess Dress to white tie. How often do you need to wear a tux or a dinner jacket each year?

In a century, the Army as gone from the high-collared khaki uniform, to the brown sack coat type uniform in the mid-1920s, to the Army Green uniform in the early 1960s for a routine dress uniform. But at least no one ever mistook someone in Army uniform for anything but a soldier.

These new blue blouses look like something I'd expect a big city cop to wear. The black berets that Shaliskili inflicted on the Army are bad enough. Now, when our soldiers leave their bases, they'll look like traffic cops in black berets. Is that the message the Army wants to send to the world?
