The claim there is that Mick Jagger dissed GWB by not turning his hotel suite over to him. The Stones had booked the suites weeks in advance for a concert. And Clothy pretentiously asserts that he’ll defend the office whether or not he likes the man.

But compare that “dissing” with what **Clothy** aims at Obama:

> He’s a socialist. He’s out to destroy the American economy. His regime has saddled us with a mountain of debt through profligate spending that shows no sign of stopping. In addition, he promotes class warfare and dissension.
> 
> Now, I’m sure that others will disagree. That’s fine. Different strokes for different folks and all that. But all I can say is that the numbers don’t lie, and since Obama took office, our debt has increased astronomically and we went bankrupt for all practical purposes in 2012, when the debt exceeded the GDP.

And **Clothy** jumped on every anti-Obama bandwagon FauxNews told him too, for example:

> [@Obama does his best to degrade a couple of Marines. Next episode: Wipers!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/obama-does-his-best-to-degrade-a-couple-of-marines-next-episode-wipers/658538/171):

Or move the goddamn thing indoors. Nope, you decided instead to look around and find a couple of what you must consider peon scum to trot over and hold your umbrella like fucking servants.

**Clothahump** disapproves when the Presidency is dissed? Yet instead of defending the Presidency from **Sick Ates** ’ psychotic attack, **Clothy** piles on!

(Sick Ates, FauxNews, and even Clothy shut up when photos were shown of both Bushes and Reagan standing under Marine-held umbrellas.)
