Obama's Backwards Hat: Love It Or Lose It? (POLL)

After what may have been his sixth trip to the gym since arriving in Hawaii one week earlier, the president-elect shook things up on Saturday by wearing his beloved White Sox cap backwards. See the photo and vote in our poll below.

The worn White Sox hat has a storied past. After Obama was photographed wearing it to the gym almost every day after the election, the team's chairman Jerry Reinsdorf asked his people send Obama's people some new caps. They were declined.

I'd say that if it upsets Rush Limbaugh, he should go for it!

[pinseeker]

Thats the dumb jock side showing.

[rdiaz921]

Actually, that 2nd picture makes him look hot...

(ok, time for breakfast)

[Wilburrr]

I don't care if he wears it backwards.... just as long as it has a flag lapel pin on it.

[Nafiadi]

if he doesn't wear one he's unpatriotic? the most ridiculous thing.

[Wilburrr]

Yup. That's why I wear 5.... at all times....

[Wilburrr]

He's not "all hat and no cattle"

[doesitexplode]

Over 600 comments? How about who gives a f*ck it doesn't matter you're all obsessed.

The vote on William's beard was more compelling than this.

[clsmithj]

the second picture looks the best. I've cropped it and added the Presidential seal on it for safe keepings.

[tiradintim]

A profound subject for discussion.

[BartLA]

Starts worrying if he wears his pants half-way down his a** and we have to look at his boxers.

[ROCKETSENSE]

Help me understand:

There are at least 2 wars the US is involved in.

The whole economy is crumbling.

Bush is Clueless with his deer in the headlight look.

and certain airheads are concerned about the way a cap is worn while on vacation ??

And The HUFFINGTON ENQUIRER wants to take a &%^*$#% POLL ?

God forbid if Obama ever sneezes - I can hardly wait for the POLL !

[Big0725]

I love the Huffington Enquirer.

[tiradintim]

It's so nice to be able to comment.

[ProgressDon]

You give Lewis Black a run for his money......nice post!!!

[swiss-ski]

You can't be helped! You are the clueless one.

[mcnairbo]

Lose it. Let's not retardify the presidency.

[rdiaz921]

OH, and shoes whizzing past your head doesn't already do that.

His HAT - His Head. Who gives a fly--ing... f*$c..k

I tell my 12 year-old Grandson that only baseball hindcatchers, SWAT snipers, and gang-bangers wear a ball cap backward and he is neither. The same goes for Obama.
The only thing worse would be wearing one sideways which goes back to the Stepin Fetchit movie days and we have moved beyond those days, haven't we?
Maybe baseball caps should come with instructions on how they should be worn, for those who don't know already and were taught in Grad School..

[Big0725]

Hindcatcher? As opposed to?

I'm getting the idea that English isn't your first language.

[foreffectivegovernment]

Big0725: What exactly about the word "hindcatcher" do you not comprehend? Chances are the word has been around longer than you have. Obviously the school you attended did not teach you everything. Will you consider that you don't know everything?
English happens to be my first and only language. I don't even speak Spanish or Ebonics.

[foreffectivegovernment]

Big0725: This is for you.

His ears look bigger when he turns his hat backwards!

[Agentlady007]

He would have lost 50 % of his votes had he worn this before the election. Yet still now that he's won, it gives him no reason to dress like a teenager and not dress like a proper Presidential elected leader. It's almost dumb- as if he isn't listening to the world right now. Let's hope it is just a phaze.
