Is he wearing Presidential Seal *socks*!? Are these only for the Commander-in-Chief, or can mere plebians acquire a pair? Is there a full line of Presidential Seal-wear?
What are the odds of him having matching boxers?
OMG Chris, you are right! And look! is that Barney on his hat?
Damn I want those socks.
I even like the guy, but come on- just because you only have like 1 year and 1/4 left until you’re out of office doesn’t mean you should walk out of the house looking like this! Crocs! Reagan always wore a suit. And is it just me, or do those socks have an insigna depicting a smokable herb?
But…why is he wearing socks (as cool as they are) with what are sandals, anyway? They are a kind of sandal, right? Clog? Clandal? Sandog? I don’t know anymore, but I don’t think you’re supposed to wear socks with them.
Where’s Tony Soprano when you need him?
Barney for President!!!
He’d look good in a kilt.
Those are almost certainly Presidential Seal socks. A few years ago, Bicycling magazine was invited to send a mountain biker to ride with the President, and the article stated the President has been known to give out Presidential Seal socks and t-shirts reading “Peloton One” as souvenirs. The article concluded, if memory serves, “The man can hang,” which is mountain-biker speak for, “He kicked my (rear).”
Oh Mary that’s scarey! This guy definitely got beat up for his lunch money every day of his high school life.
And with socks, with a Presidential Seal no less. Oh dearie – help us.
Actually, I’ve seen others wearing socks with the crocs…ugh. I can’t believe GW is wearing those.
Also, if Reagan wore a suit ALL the time, he would have had a difficult time horseback riding with Queen E. I suspect this is a similar instance in which the Prez is doing some kind of outdoor activity….hopefully that explains it. He DOES look like he is about to go river wading, which is the only acceptable use of those shoes.
Just curious. For what type of sporting activity would you wear the shirt he’s got on? It looks like it has epaulets or that sort of western stitching. And on magnifying this photo, it looks like he’s wearing a skort. Even without the crocs this is a train wreck.
Dear heaven- and we wonder why the rest of the civilized world makes fun of the “Ugly American”.. One only prays his Mamma called and had a little “talking to” with him, as we say down south..
I thought photos like this automatically came with black bars through the eyes.
She feels the Manolo has made public her anguish(not Paris Hilton anguish but still close)about her humiliation about wearing the Crocs in public and then published this picture which shows why the Crocs must remain a closeted item. The Peggye thanks Bush for not choosing lime green or pink and wonders if you can be impeached for wearing ugly shoes.
At least he can wear his Crocs with a certain benign indifference. Sort of. And he does have Presidential Seal socks, and everything is of a white-gray-neutralish palette.
And behind him, it seems as if a giant beige Rubbermaid container is trying to cleverly disguise itself as a small tree.
Well, the flip-flops at the White House episode from a few years ago made this kind of inevitable, wouldn’t you say?
Oh! And I think his hat is maybe from the Black Dog Tavern on Nantucket?
Ahhhhh! I love ya!
to La Petite Chou Chou-
Reagan was always impeccable when out hacking – breeches and boots, and only on the most informal riding occasions would he trade his blazer for a solid color polo shirt. (Always neatly tucked it, of course.)
Perhaps it would be better to say that Reagan always dressed properly and appropriately for the occasion. And that Crocs are never proper or appropriate.
Well of course. He also dressed like a cowboy sometimes too. I totally get your point, I was just being coyly difficult.
Why can’t Bush wear flip flops at the white house? He *does* live there….granted, he could be seen at any time so he should consider it wisely….nonetheless…
Hmm I keep trying to post a link to my favorite pic of Reagan riding with Queen E but it doesn’t seem to let me…anyway I liked it, and I thought you’d get a kick out of it Ms Berry.
There is no greater shoecrime than this: it makes every grandad’s calf-length-socks-with-sandals summer footwear look good by comparison.
Not only that, but BROWN Crocs and dark (but not brown) socks. Oh, the humanity.
I don’t know about the Black Dog Tavern on Nantucket – I’ve never been there, but it looks like a scottie dog to me – don’t they have a scottie dog? The good news about this outfit is that it doesn’t look like any head of state is with him, so he’s not inflicting it on some unsuspecting visitor and we can’t hear him speak. He seems like a likeable person – personally – but I can’t bear to hear him speak, so painful.

Yet another reason NOT to wear them. Thank you Manolo!
As the editor and publisher of Scottish Terrier and Dog News, I would just like to state for the record that there is nothing wrong with the Scottie baseball cap. Why, I would wear it myself with a casual sandal and no socks.
Totally agree, however, that the crocs and socks is an abomination.
But GWB has sung Crocs’ praises before in one of his offical radio addresses. Said the company brought lots of jobs to Colorado.

We get the Scottie scoop.
From your lips to God’s ears, Manolo…
Calm down and don’t be so hysterical. Nobody’s impeaching Bush, so give it up…not a chance.
Do you ever have anything original to say, or do you always blindly follow the seditious liberal mantras?
Following in the footsteps of Mario Batali. So wadsyouseproblem?
People like you…
if Reagan wore a suit ALL the time
Reagan’s axiom was that he wore a suit in the Oval Office.
GWB is out in a driveway.
The crocs are appropriate footwear for some activities, and as the Peggye says, we may all be grateful that he has selected a sedate neutral color rather than lime green, hot pink, etc.
Those shorts, however, are unforgiveable. The horror! The horror! He does have pretty good legs (particularly for a guy his age) but those things are so voluminous his legs look like sticks. Short sticks, given the dark socks. Glaaggghhh!
I hate seeing older guys in shorts, no matter who they are. But it just seems wrong to see the president wearing them. I get that he’s athletic and everything but it doesn’t work for me.
And I just hate crocs on principle and refuse to even try them on. :)
The Scarlet Quill points out that those are not just any baggy shorts as the Manolo’s tio might purchase at Walmart, but a Texas cutoff version of Hart, Shafner, & Karl Marx dress gabardines. Definitely chic and unimpeachable.
I suppose it is good that we have a president who does not have to have expensive consultants for everything and poll everything.
On the other hand, this is why most politicians have expensive consultants and poll everything, to avoid moments of self-revelation like this one.
Lance, the Manolo has politely asked all of us to refrain from any sort of political ranting or debating. However, it seems that you have chosen to disregard this request with your snide comment about “liberals”.
Just a guess but he is probably going out to ride his mountain bike. I dress almost exactly like that when I am driving to where I ride; black (biking) socks and sandels, shorts like that and a baggy/loose shirt. I change into my cycling jersey and shoes when I arrive.
I wear socks with my Crocs when gardening.
And in the winter when it’s cold.
My feet love my Crocs. I don’t blame him for liking them and wearing them with socks at all.
I do believe the shirt is a western cut with the shoulder area in a contrast color (or is it “colour” on this site?). Looks like one with snaps instead of buttons.
So the cowboy from Texas who owns a Scottie, drives a pickup, and probably mucks around and gets dirty from time to time is faulted for his socks and shorts.
Sigh. The Manolo should have paparazzi hanging out in his driveway 24/7. The president is human, even though some do not believe that. He does normal things.
The cool thing he doesn’t care what y’all think. :-)
Except that normal people don’t wear Crocs.
One of the best Reagan photo-opsever, which unfortunately I haven’t found on the Internet. I remember seeing a newspaper clipping of the Gipper – he’s wearing the usual formal suit, and carrying a surfboard under one arm.
way to fuuny socks and like flip flops on wow. what a combo
There is only one solution: George Bush should engage the Manolo as a wardrobe consultant. Thus will horrors like this be avoided during those casual and/or athletic presidential moments.
The socks are definitely cycling socks. If they are available check DeFeet. He’s probably wearing Crocs because he is probably getting ready to go mountain biking. As a cyclist, I can attest the last thing you put on are the shoes because they are very uncomfortable for walking. I bet the shorts are “baggy
” type cycling shorts. The shirt doesn’t make any sense, but maybe he hasn’t changed into that yet.
it’s the impersonator – sox are the giveaway
Calm now. It is the Albanian national costume. Recall the Greek military pleated skirts. Of course he is feeling happy about receiving such a thoughtful gift from his recent trip with all its happiness, and the presidential socks proove it. The crocs? Eh, they have just arrived in the Balkans????
Sacre bleu! He is such a cowboy, this George Bush. Dressing like individual, like he do not care what we think! Quel cowboy!
It’s a pretty dismal political scene, pitting Crocs with socks (R) v. Birkenstocks (D). I will vote for the first one to show up in black Converse high-tops.
