President Obama Attends Press Conference Without His Wedding Ring

http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1009/potus_goes_ringless_at_presser.html

Excerpt:

Eagle-eyed reporters noticed that President Barack Obama wasn't sporting his wedding ring during Friday's White House press conference.

"big to-do over potus not wearing his wedding ring today," Tweeted The Hill's Sam Youngman, who was at the presser.

Obama's wedding band is "an intricate gold design from Indonesia, where he had lived as a boy," the New York Times reported in 2009.

UPDATE: A White House spokesman tells POLITICO that Obama's ring is being repaired, though it's unclear what needed to be fixed.

nuff said.

It needs to be "cleaned" by a jeweler every few years, or it begins to look a bit shabby.

Apparently, in this day and age, Obama should have started the conference by pointing it out, and offering up copies of the claim receipt for the jeweler.

Can't we just send them home to watch Days of Our Lives?

Yeah, I'm worried. :eyes:

We moved to FL and my fingers swell in the heat. Don't think my SO is worried either.

have ever worn a wedding band. They celebrated their Golden last June - should I start worrying?

I have only been married for 38 years, so I cannot advise you on 50...but give me another 12 years, and I will respond to your post.

Catch you in 2022.

:hi:

on another one of my last nerves...

while saying the Pledge of Allegiance AND wearing a hat at the same time AND not wearing his wedding ring.

Other than that, the MSM can go fuck themselves because this li'l ol' "no wedding band" crap is very boring. :sarcasm:

I could only stomach the first 20 comments:


#For someone who so handily forgets the Constitution, his role, and the needs of the country, forgetting a ring is nothing.

#Probably left it on his prayer rug...

#Has anyone checked George Soros' ass?

#Barry is wearing his wedding ring in his nose.

#Which ring, the one for his finger or the one in his nose? Big Meshell leads him around like a dog on a leash.

#He also is not wearing his watch. First time in two and a half years of closely watching him that I've seen him without either.

#Obama's wedding band is "an intricate gold design from Indonesia, where he had lived as a boy,"
So he didnt buy Union or buy American? figures...

#He is probably getting it adapted to fit in his nose.

#Not to worry...I just found it in my grandson's.... back pocket.

#BFD! I mean who the heck cares, really?

#Be interesting to know what design was on the ring... The design might have sent a message that the president did not want to send so he is having the design removed or altered. Or it is possible that he has gotten it a little dirty with all the bull s- - - he is throwing around.... :}

#He's so shriveled up, the ring probably fell off his finger...into the urinal or somewhere. The first cow is probably starving him to death so she can take over the country!

#I just figured he wanted his favorite verse from the Quran put on it.

#Hmmm......Muslims are forbidden to wear gold rings upon their fingers. An an agnostic, wouldn't care either way if the ring was there or not.

#My precious, where is my precious.

#I guess competing with HuffPo sex stories is getting tough for you guys?

#0bama - the muSLUM-SCUMBAG that just keeps on giving!!

#Go to hell you lying jug-eared Kenyan sKKKumbag!!

#I am told that Obama hocked it for hard cash, and has turn over what he received to the US Treasury to pay down the debt he has created. What a noble act.


—that's Politico's audience.

It was set up to be a right wing propaganda rag and is doing it's 'job' so it is only natural the rabid right wing scum gravitate to it.

So, the comment that says: "Muslims are forbidden to wear gold rings upon their fingers... "
shows that Obama is NOT a Muslim since he wears a gold ring on his finger.
Wonder how politico let that comment slip in ;)

:applause:

I mean that's what happened after Sarah Palin showed up without her ring a few times. :eyes:

This is all stupid, a marriage is more than a stupid ring.

(sarcasm)

Don't want no one thinking I'm some damn unpatriotic hippy. :sarcasm:

This is all silly.

Of course, you aren't serious.

Do I really need that red thingy?

Our media is officially irreparably damaged. Talk about focusing on the wrong damned things.

*yawn*

:rofl:

but both the rings and the wristwatch can bother me a bit...

You mean he's not only a muslim but a cheating one at that?

No wonder we are so fucked.
