Is fashion a new Presidential requirement?

Perhaps I missed the presidential oath that swears to uphold the latest fashion standards on that cold January afternoon six months ago. Perhaps I wrongly assumed "mom jeans" were for...moms. And perhaps I missed the band wagon for the skinny jean rage (for the record I adamantly oppose such fabric!).

Seriously, give the man a break.

He inherited the world's richest country (only it's not so rich anymore), right-wing conspiracy theorists are out to get him, and he's only worked at his job for six months. Why shouldn't his jeans be a little loose?

But let's not go crazy and call them "mom jeans" - those are reserved for a very unspecial design of stretchy spandex demin fabric with a waistline sitting 4 inches above the navel and tapered leg that ungratuitously hugs every crevice within the vicinity.

Obama's jeans are loose fit, straight leg denim, albeit slightly grey. Their only disappointment is they are grey and every fashionista knows dismal denim colors are skanky; but Obama isn't a fashionista, he's the president - and male at that. Of course men don't like to shop and we should all be thankful that given our nation's plunging circumstances, the President has not found time to shop.

Though Presidential shopping could be the next economic policy. Take notes, Bernake.
