Right now is the time when Obama is busy pushing the health care bill, trying to convince Congress that we NEED universal health care. Right now is the time when Obama will be holding a primetime presser to try to gain America's support for the health care legislation. Now is a time when our country is in deep financial troubles.

And what are we talking about? Obama's "mom jeans." That's right. The one day the president takes out to "have some fun" and throw out the first pitch at the all star game and it's the day everyone is talking about. First were the conspiracy theories about FOX not showing the ball reaching the plate (yes, I'm on this ship. I mean WTF FOX?) Now we've moved onto discussing the president's ill-fitting jeans.

Now first off, not all ill-fitting jeans are "mom jeans." This genre is very specific. It's this SNL spoof commercial for sure.

Now THOSE are "mom jeans." Obama's just aren't fashionable. But they don't quite go that far. They're not like the tight slightly off jeans that Larry King wore on Jimmy Kimmel last Wednesday night (Did anyone see that? He had the suspenders on with a pair of high-end designer jeans that he said Ryan Seacrest sent him. Scary.) They're not designer jeans at all. They look like something Michelle picked up at K-mart without really knowing what size he wore.

But why are we talking about Obama's jeans? Because we as a culture like to judge. We expect our president to look a certain way. And ill-fitting jeans apparently doesn't fit that mold. Poor guy. But I think he would've gotten more flack for showing up in a suit. So how can he win. Maybe by getting us all to think about health care instead. Doubtful, right?
