The Sandy Man :: SteynOnline
by Mark Steyn • Aug 29, 2014
My weekly appearance on The Hugh Hewitt Show chanced this week to follow a rare appearance by Barack Obama at the White House. He happened to have a couple of hours between the golf game and the fundraiser, and so thought he might as well climb into the lightweight suit and make a statement about Putin, Iraq and all the other peripheral stuff President Tee-Time doesn't usually have time for. This was his position on ISIS:
We don't have a strategy yet.
As Vlad and the mullahs and the ChiComs must be thinking: Wow! When he promised he'd be the most transparent administration in history, he wasn't kidding.
HUGH HEWITT: There you have it, Mark Steyn. We don't have a strategy, yet.
MARK STEYN: Yes, and that's true. Actually, I believe Churchill after the fall of France, went out and gave a press conference outside 10 Downing Street, where he announced that we don't have a strategy... I don't know whether that actually is the strategy, not to have a strategy, but just looking at the color of his suit, I think you would have concluded that this was a man without a strategy.
So then we discussed the suit for a bit, and whether a serious man should wear that color on television:
MS: I believe the last occasion I wore a suit that color was on a morning talk show in Australia with a lady called Kerri-Anne Kennerley, who's basically the Oprah of Australia. And I was appearing with some miniature highland cattle, and thought that if you're appearing with miniature highland cattle of a shaggy mien, then that color suit is appropriate. But as a suit for which the global superpower reacts to the incursion, as they say, intof Ukraine, and Americans signing up to die for ISIS, and all the other stuff that's going on, I would leave that suit for the Australian daytime talk show circuit.
