This is a great man!! And for you people out there talking about him you need to remember that what goes arouund comes right back to you! ya'll need to leave Our President alone

I think our president is beautiful no matter what he wears.
So, why the big deal on his baseball clothes? Who really cares what he wears long as it isn't a speedo. LOL
Off topic – Tyler Perry is a HERO!!!!

From North – South and East – West, less not worry about the President dress but from House to the Senate and the President Desk lets vote for Healthcare so all can rest.

God Bless our NATION !

I did not even notice what he was wearing....some people have a whole lot of time to do nothing but be critical , but come on be critical of policies , something that makes sense....this is past riduculous.

Personally I think he always looks well put together, he wears clothes well . I think he is doing a great job of representing our country to the world by his attire and by his intelligence.

He is kind of skinny and geeky in a Jimmy Walker kind-of-way.

I am not really that interested in my President's fashion sense.
More so I am interested in whether he is paying attention to the needs of the country.
For that I think that he is doing just fine.

Ok..they were a bit short in the inseam, but dang Mr. President does have some booty on him....first time I've ever EVER wanted to watch an American president walk away so I can check out his backside. Gotta love Obama for a gazillion reasons; this is just one more!! Go OBAMA!

Worse than his clothes... he throws like a young taliban girl.

I saw on Al-Jazera TV he couldn't get the ball to the white plate. This is your powerful leader??

I laugh loudly.

Anne said:
President Obama IS "one of us."

-Sorry Anne, he wants you to believe he is "one of us". NO politician is "one of us". They are all greedy liars. They are all elitests. Don't be fooled.

Everyone needs to take a step back and realize that ALL politicians don't have our best interests in mind. They have only their's. It is a survival mentality and the only way to survive is to pander to special interests and the Washington subculture.

Something needs to be done about ths. Elections are not working.

I am a Canadian. So impressed with your president. I too think he's so down to earth but he has things on the ball when he's at work. He would of looked so stupid if he wore a suit to a baseball game. . You have one of the grestest guys in office .. support him, give him your prayers and his family, stop brow beating him

Finally we have a President, again, who cares about we American people. I am taken aback when I see, hear, and read, all the negativity thrown at him. I hope this country does not follow the Limbaugh Doctrine; wanting this president to "fail." It seems that a lot of Americans have gotten on that band-wagon, again... like we were bambozeled to do for 8 years. Wake up America; you are falling asleep again... we are responding to the jeans a president is wearing. How petty as a country we have become? Very petty.

Who cares what he wears; he is a man and that does not mean he should show and wear the latest fashion.

Anyone who does not like what I wear is too bad; it's my choice. Don't like it? look some where else.

I have no problem with the jeans. Do people want him to wear skin tight jeans? I think not. I do have a problem with the SOX jacket. He came to STL and should have supported the Cards, wore and All Star shirt, or not have supported any team at all.

The problem that I do have was the way he snatched the ball out of Stan the Man's hand. That man is one of baseball greatest players and should have been treated better than that. It was Obama just didn't care.

its official, the right has officially lost thier minds..They are so out of touch and stupid.

Who cares what he's wearing!? Does it really matter after he finishes bankrupting and destroying our country?

To Applelyn, PA:

MIchelle DOES use American-based designers and shops at stores like J. Crew, etc.–all American.

Maybe that is the problem. The perception in our stores is that ALL women WANT to wear bows, flowers, frou-frou and cartoon characters.

Are you kidding me? There are more important issues in our society which requires attention (i.e. the economy, unemployment, housing crisis, hunger, healthcare,) other than the President's jeans....

I always do a better job when I'm dressed comfortably. Keep up the good work, Mr. President – I think you always look fine!

Comment on what the Obama does as a President and not on what he wears. Why would his jeans matter so much? We did the same thing to President Clinton about his affair and as a result lost track of Bin Ladin. Clinton was very close to getting the rascal, but the media created too much distraction to an otherwise perfect President. Do we not learn from our mistakes? Leave the Prez alone for ittly bittly matters and let him do his JOB!

Jeans are jeans. Some people may consider them a "fashion" article of clothing, but to me, I agree with Obama......you wear jeans to be comfortably active......not make a fashion statement.

Just goes to show, how petty people can be, about what others do. The most "to do....about nothing", yet, on the Obamas.

The wingnuts probably would have been happier if he'd worn a commander codpiece flight suit to throw out the first pitch.

President Obama is a real every man's man. He doesn't pretend to be anything he's not, like say... a cowboy.

omg hes wereing jeans! gaspp!!!!! who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes a person 2!!!!!!!

I agree with him completely... They're jeans!! They don't need to be a fashion statement for throwing out a first pitch. If that were the case, baseball players would have all kinds of designer pocket-low riding boot cut-sliding pants that would defeat their purpose... Please people... (besides, I don't believe men should be wearing tight little jeans... that's just too metro sexual for me... men should look rugged, not trendy... can you picture a 'Marlboro man' wearing tight girlie jeans?!)

Just think, President Obama passes on the $100 pair of jeans...he probably saved the money he needs to pay his "share" of the increased costs of health care. How tragic.

The president should be allowed to relax after all those repbulican bashing afterall is human being. He is doing great job so far but can improve on his throwing capability next time.

President Obama is the real deal! I am so grateful and relieved to have a competent, well-rounded, hard-working President leading our country. As for the jeans, they're perfect too!

I don't know about anyone else, but in my opinion, he's the President of the United States. He SHOULD be a little frumpy. I'm not sure how much credence I'd give to a fashion fop. Michelle really, really has to get rid of those pants, though. They go beyond frumpy to completely dorky. And Mr. Obama? With all due respect? Stay away from baseball pitcher's mounds. Maybe we can start a new tradition of making the first basket at the beginning of basketball season. You're MUCH better at that!!

I was at the All Star game and I'm not a big Obama fan, but it's always exciting to see the President. I really didn't notice anything wrong with what he was wearing, I'm sure he wanted to be comfortable and was probably more worried about getting the pitch right than the jeans he was wearing!

OH MY GOSH.....THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END...Our President wears comfortable jeans without any regard for fashion!!! Whatever can we do?

Nothing wrong with his jeans. Fashion critics need to get a clue.

Unfortunately, there are alot of people in this country who are more interested in what a person wears, rather than being interested in what that person thinks.

We live in a world where there are much more important issues at hand, and this man is watched on everything he does. I'm not a big fan of him and how he has handled things, but what the President is wearing to throw out a first pitch at a baseball game is of very little significance. If he wants to wear them, let him wear them and leave him alone. Fashion critics are not really ones to talk. Their decisions don't affect our country. His do!

He can wear whatever he wants while he fights to get healthcare reform done (along with everything else he is doing for us). He is an amazing president with a great sense of humor.

To all those curmudgeons complaining that "this is not news", give me a freakin' break! Every time one of your presidents throws out the first pitch at a baseball game, the event makes the news.

Difference being, this president looks like the well-toned athlete he is – a man of many competencies. You should all consider yourselves lucky to have him, saving your sorry Rebublican asses.

The president can wear whatever he wants. He was enjoying himself at a baseball game. End of story.

Oh, and Michelle never looks fabulous. She wears too many "baubles”, flowers, bows, buttons-she needs to edit herself or find an American designer.

I still like Michelle, no matter how she dresses. She has a good heart and she’s a wonderful first lady.

Obama/Biden 2012

President Obama is a "10" in my book..... looking good.

Usually your personal spending equates to your discipline with money management. I take this as a sign, that he only spends when necessary and if his choice of putting on a pair of old jeans vs buying a pair for the occassion is a indication of his discipline for spending, then I think we are definitely in good hands with him as President. I think the President is showing that he is a good steward with his finances and hopefully that translates in him being a good steward over tax payers money.

A lot of talk about the spending of this administration, remember it's how you spend, the money spent for the so call Iraq war, was to me a waste, in the end this government had to give back what did not belong to them. If the American people want to get upset over spending, get very upset about that. The Iraq conflict was a total waste of taxpayers money, now, who will account for that. I personally feel that the conflict in Iraq was a personal moviatation that had nothing to do with the war on terror.

President Obama is a total "guy".

heck he dresses just like I would nothing wrong with caual

...they llok like regular jeans... matter of fact my dad wears jeans just like those and they look the same in them... so to me they would be "Dad Jeans" i have no idea why some people wish to imasculate the President.

I don't much care for a lot of his politics but I do like his candor. He's not UP TIGHT and that's why most people like him.

...and then there's the part that he tells you what he thinks. I don't always agree w/ him but you have to respect that.

Zzzzzzzzz – who in the world cares?

Who gives a flying frak about the guy's jeans? What's going on with healthcare, anyway?

So sad we have become a nation of fashion police...lol...I'm with you on this one Presdient Obama..comfort first!

All the Obama-haters ever say is "he is talking to much and is in the news constantly campaigning to get his agenda passed" and then they say, "why isn't he paying attention to the issues and not his image and why isn't he more transparent"? His continuous news conferences are for that very purpose – transparency. He wants to keep the American public, for whom he works, in the know and up-to-date on what his plans are to get us out of the numerous messes that Bush left us. You really need to make the distinction between staying informed and being left out of the loop. Come on people. What do you want? It's one or the other. By the way, Bush wore jeans a lot in public, especially when he was down in Crawford, TX, (like almost constantly) or Camp David. No one commented on how he looked in jeans. Such hypocrisy.

Hes a man of the people not a man of fashion

Alright, you anti-Obamabots out there and Republicans, we get it already: you don't like President Barack Obama, you don't like his policies, you don't like Democrats, you don't like anything that isn't done the way you would do it, and you don't like religions that aren't like yours.

To all Republicans and Anti-Obamabots out there, the question is this: Where was your indignation when George Bush was president for 8 years and was running this country into the ground? Where was your indignation when Republicans controlled Congress for 12 years and ran this country into the ground?

Barack Obama's jeans really don't matter. The way he throws a ball doesn't matter. What matters is the work he's doing in the office and the mess he was elected to fix. Stop the complaining.

Lets hope he does well and can change the law and have him run for three terms.There wont be any republicans left by that time.They will just be a tiny little minority.hahaha

who cares what his jeans look, Obama likes them and that's al lthat matters. He's doing a great job, during one of the worst times in our history. Hats to Obama!!

Guy jeans. That's what they were. . .guy jeans.

Did he "inherit" those jeans from the previous administration? That is usually his excuse.

I love this guy. His predecessor touted himself as someone people would "want to have a beer with," so he could seem like "one of us." President Obama IS "one of us."
Stay true to yourself, Mr. Prez!

Who cares what Jeanne Moos says.....SInce she went 'there', she looks like the late Mama Cass's mama.....

He is a man. And he is thinking about things a tad more important than what brand of jeans he wears.

Good.

Maybe he is frumpy in his jeans, but Mr. President looks fine in his suits!

First Lady Michelle do us a favor and help the Pres dress for occasion.

he looks fine..

The man is comfortable in his jeans. So what's the problem? Does someone not like them? If that is the case I would suggest that those that did not like his jeans not wear any like them.

He's adorable, though I don't see pitching in his future.

He looked great.

tom bop, are you jealous much?

Michele is a beautiful and quite feminine first lady and the President is handsome and all male. perfect couple and first family, live with it.

@polarbear.The rightwing sheep didnt utter a peep did they?They are so brainless,they are still looking for a birth certificate, probably cant even find their own birth certificate because they were born in an outhouse behind the trailer.

Well i don't care what he wears, as far as i'm concerned he looks good in anything...i think he is the most sexiest man alive...now people magazine pay attention!

President Barack Obama.., I know a professional baseball team in Washington, D.C. that could use you. How many games are they in last place in their division ? Your pitching looks better than theirs. Mike in Montana

Most of us are more concerned about why the unemployment rate has shot up to close to 10%, even though he Pledged it would not go above 8% if the $800b stimulus package was passed. Most of us are more concerned about how President Obama wants to add $1.2t to the budget with the new healthcare plan, this added on to the already close to $10t debt that we as a country have accumulated and he has no idea how we will pay for it. Most of us are more concerned about how many more jobs will be lost with the cap and trade. Most of us are concerned about the stimulus spending report that came out, showing the absolute waste.

We are NOT, by any means, concerned about the jeans the man is wearing.

I may have issues with Obama (like his continued emphasis on getting things done fast as opposed to done right – witness the Gitmo folly, the lack of stimulus, the broken promise earmarks on the spending bill, his authorization of AIG bonuses, the ability to carry concealed weapons in National Parks, his continued overtures to the illegit Prez of Iran, and now rushing health care), but his choice of jeans is not one of them.

Thank God he's not shallow or vain, unlike the vast majority of the prudents in America.

And, for you save america, you're the dog and the liar...I guess you wanted Bush's healthcare bill...Did he have one! I guess that is why millions of Americans are without healthcare!!

Love your style Mr. President, in more ways than one!!

It's refreshing to see someone of his stature be himself. Too many folk are out there trying to impress others. When the shine dulls and the novelty wears off, what do you really have? Be genuine.. just sayin'

Grumpy! Is what you mean, and the little ones are very upset.

You told them your were going to take the money of the Rich and give it to them. They all elected you and you let them down. You lied...

Those jeans look great on President Obama. If he likes them, then that is all that counts.I know where he's coming from. I wear what is comfortable to me, and if someone does not like it, then they are the one with the problem, not me. I say hooray for our President for wearing those jeans he loves.

"To waste public conversation on this is more evidence that we live in a decadent and infantile society." – "Loveable Liberal"

Well gosh, thanks for jumping down in the mud with us. Why don't you throw around a few more silver dollar words so we can all marvel at your Wesleyan degree some more??

Obviously some people were expecting him to wear bling bling and have pants halfway down to the knees. And no belt.

I am more interested in his mind than what he wears. Consider what McCain would have been wearing – since he was the alternative. I can't recall a President who looked like a jock when he threw out a ball and I have watched many throws those balls across the plate – hopefully. Some of you people need to get a life. It would also help if you studied what the Republicans put him up against and then you would be happy that he simply took time to go throw a ball.

Looks good to me!!

How pathetic is the news lately? Don't we have REAL issues to concern ourselves with?

As for the negative comments - you know, he's not a natural-born citizen, etc, ad nauseum - give it up. Don't you think that with all the money the corporate libertarians have socked away from raping this country's economy that they would have ALREADY found "THE TRUTH" you guys keeping trying to sell with that phoney baloney internet story?

God, how stupid ARE you? Does Santa still come for you yearly? How about the tooth fairy and other fantasies?

This is the first president since Kennedy that I feel positive about and THANK YOU FELLOW SUPPORTERS for helping to elect him.

He's a geek. Now back to the real issues that CNN and the rest of the media are trying to ignore.....Obama's dismal failings.

I suppose he was born in a log cabin too.

Truth: He is a rich, preppy, lawyer, career politician, who pretty much played the Savior angle to get elected. The truth hurts.

The longer we maintain this type of regular guy mythology, the deeper into delusion we go.

He can wear what he wants. He's the president and we're not!

I think i'm going to run for office and my entire campaign is going to be based on being able to throw a baseball and football better than my opponent and drink him or her under the table while publicly bench pressing more than my body weight. Also I will punt a math book like a football and square dance to "Aint that America" by John Mellencamp while I chow down on char grilled hamburger with Herr's Potato chips and a mug of beer.

I will than make sure i'm caught on camera at my local church praying and then I will dance to more John Mellencamp, maybe Toby Keith as well. My wife will be complacent, beautiful, and only dress in designer clothes and her opinions on anything will be limited to how great I am and how fulfilling motherhood and supporting her husband is. I'll also drive a Ford Truck to every single one of my campaign rallies. I would win this election and I wouldn't even have to reveal my stance on any political issue at all.

read all about it! – republicans attack obama's fashion sense: "while we spent well over $50k on sarah palin's wardrobe, obama is only spending $30 on a pair of lee jeans. disgraceful. and now he's talking about increasing spending on education and health care. how about getting back to the core values that made america great like dynastic wealth & inequality."

Word association game with the picture:

Obama Sox

mom jeans are hot

I love how kids like Rainy rant on and on about how this isn't news, etc and there are much better stories to be posting about.

Here's a tip, hit your back button and click on the link to any single one of those stories you just rattled off. This isn't the only story cnn has posted today. Quit being such ignorant critics; if this story doesn't appeal to you then go read another.

@Hugo Castrobama July 21st, 2009 11:15 am ET

In the immorttal words of another Democrat: IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!!

-------------------------

Great to revisit the past. Yea...Clinton said this to daddy Bush, and Clinton then turn the economy around. Now again we have economic troubles, interestingly after another Bush was President (remember how little Bush told us all that the economy was stable)
Got to hand it to the Bushes, they really kniow how to leave things all messed up for the next guy!

So I guess you're saying that Obama has failed because he hasn't been able to clean up another Bush economy in 6 months?
Interesting and a bit short sighted.

This is silly reporting I am not a big Obama fan. The only thing I will say bout the jeans were that they were a bit short but who cares, no matter how they looked I am sure they cost a pretty penny.

It wouldnt matter what he wore. Someone would complain. Maybe next time shorts would be in order.

The only decision he had made so far that I agree with. All the jeans companies are shortening the rise on their jeans and as an ADULT male I have to say that I don't find having the waist band of my jeans riding below my pelvis particularly comfortable. Here we are in a society that is increasingly overweight and the clothes manufacturers are forcing the person with an average build to wear clothes that barely look good on those with hard, toned, young bodies. It is ridiculous. This will probably be the only time I say this bur Hurrah for Barrack!! Bring back my adult jeans. Levis "traditional" fit jeans are anything but. The zipper on the last pair I bought was about 2 inches shorter than the previous pair of the same style. They went straight back to the store.

He couldn't be more adorable.

He did not throw a strike no matter what spin the media puts on it.

i heart obama

Obama doesn't need to make a fashion statement – he's already made a statement about being an amazing President who's making a difference in foreign policy and on the economic front and will soon make more history by succeeding in his quest for universal health care.

He's brilliant and getting things done like no other president in my lifetime.

We are incredibly lucky to have this man as our President – just when we so desperately need him.

i'm glad all of those who love obama thinks he's a cute lil guy with his nice lil wifey in the white house. We treat them like they are celebrities in every way. Yet they are politicians. He's the president people! who care what jeans he wears!!!! i find it so amazing the same ppl who bashed Bush....are the same people who love to make remarks on the Obama's fashion sense! goes to show where you people's priorities are in life

Hugo Castrobama – you are so far out in left field you wouldn't know what country your are in. If he's not a citizen, you aren't either. You must be one of those that believe we didn't land on the moom.

Again – hard to believe some of these comments. And what the heck are "mom" jeans? It used to be the women wore men's jeans because there were no women's jeans. Jeans are jeans – they come in all sizes and all shapes (including rags, holes and bleached) and they change according to the same people that are ragging on the president. Kudos to him for not caring what his jeans are as long as they are comfy. The sloppiness of the average American wearing next to nothing or gunny sacks would better serve comment.

Oh, for heaven's sake! He was at a BASEBALL game! What do you expect him to wear? A tuxedo?

Next important topic to discuss?

Mr. President, when you get a chance to take off the suit, make sure you're comfortable. If that means baggy jeans, who cares! You look great because you're comfortable in your own skin. Clothes don't make the man. You have charisma, good looks and charm, you can't buy those at the store.

I love my President!!

I think he throws like TCM, or what ever names shes using today.hahaha

Kudos to Mr. President. It shows that he is human too and he's not afraid to hang out with us regular people at ball games, etc. While he does have business to attend to, we all do, we need to laugh and have a little fun often. This has been proven to make people more productive.

Maybe if Bush hung out with us, he wouldn't have gotten such a bad rap.

Nice Sox jacket, though. Have a nice day!

Yeah haters......criticize the president for everything he's doing. Your lives must be miserable smelly sacks of regurgitated "ring wing" talking points. If you had a moment to consider that this man is trying to clean up a mess that would have brought us the GREAT DEPRESSION "Part duex" – then you would be more appreciative. Then again hating "...all things Obama" is the reason for your pathetic existence. Sad group of so called americans!

...but you're still lookin' good, Mr. President ~ and doing a fine job, might I add! Be encouraged to continue ~ even in the faces of naysayers...

We appreciate you, in all of your "frumpiness."

This seems rather obvious, but to all those exclaiming "why is this news?", I have a question for you; why are you reading and commenting? The headline and picture make it pretty clear what this is about. Do you have such little to do with your day that you HAVE to read and comment on things that you feel are not worthwhile?
It's only news if you read it.

Mississippi Mike July 21st, 2009 10:04 am ET

He also throws like a girl.

***

I'm a girl and I resent the comparison. I throw much better.

If you ask me, he's dressed perfectly for the occasion.

His Jean reminds me of Larry King's Dungarees!!

He doesn't know that you're supposed to put your foot against the front of the rubber (the white thing on the mound), not stand on it! And he throws like a sissy, not a girl, since my daughters can all throw very well, thank you. If you look at any of their joint interviews together, Michelle is always expressing the masculine energy, and he's always coming in with some femininity to soften whatever she says. Very interesting dynamic.

BHO looked very frail and fragile, so much, that his pitchin' style was noticeably effeminate. We strongly recommend that BHO pump some iron and bulk up, before being ridiculed by the GOP as a physically weak Prez.

The Republicans say he throws like a girl, yet they whine like little girls.

If he were wearing designer jeans, the rest of the pundits would be complaining about wasting his money, and how it is offensive to all the unemployed americans. There is no winning.

This is stupid. He was wearing the kind of jeans that probably 95% of the 48 year old men in this country wear. Just because he is president doesnt mean me is gonna be comfortable is clothes that are that different than anyone else in his age group. its pathetic this is the kind of thing people focus on. Its another example of how are country has become one which worships the "cult of personality" we focus on meaningless stuff that famous people do.

Nobody cares what Obama wears, or what his wife wears. He is not Jack Kennedy and she is not Jackie. Doesn't he have enough real problems to worry about?

Not only did he look like a regular guy at a baseball game, he is demonstrating a more important aspect of his character. A great sense of humor. Pay attention folks. Let's hope it rubs off.

all the news doesn't have to be about something "heavy"; a little light news now and then is enjoyable and as far as what he wears, who cares as long as he is wearing something

No one will care what he is wearing when he is escourted out of the White House by federal oficers for violating the constitution by not being a natural born American citizen.

The real deal

You're kidding right? Why isn't anyone asking him why he has delayed the WH's mid-year budget report? And trying to get health care done before August recess? Is there something in that report that could upset his health care agenda? Where's the transparency you promised, Obama?

Maybe you want to stick with khakis Mr. President.

I get a kick at how many Republicans and righ-wingers who are so concerned about the economy all the sudden. Where were you skunks for the past few years when Bush was completely ignoring the oncoming recession that his policies helped to create?

Carlos July 21st, 2009 10:24 am ET

Forget the jeans he throws like a girl.
__________

Hey, Carlos, stop offending girls. He ain't a baseball player, and he throws the way most non-players throw. Wonder how you throw?

Well when you throw like a girl, "mom jeans" are okay.

A little phrase from the 80s.....RELAX (people!)

There's nothing wrong with his jeans. You don't need to wear designer ones anyway. They're jeans, for Pete's sake. Good grief.

His jeans looked more like something John McCain would have worn.

I love it! Comfortable and practical clothes are the best. I admire Mrs. Obama's sense of style and the ease with which she wears her clothes, but I'm more of a function-over-form dresser and it's nice to hear that I'm in good company.

Mr. President, invest in some baggy jeans. Tight jeans cut off circulation.

I think he looked great.

I'd kill for those long legs, mom jeans or not.

Memo to Jim DeMint -

If the Party of No fails to derail health insurance reform, they could take Obama on as unfashionable. Coultergeist could pretend to be Stacy London.

In the immorttal words of another Democrat: IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!!

That statement applies to Obama as well as the state-controlled media. Stop with the blathering love affair and diversionary tactics which attempt to take our focus off the really important stuff..

how is this news worthy?

"for those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans"
I could not possibly care less what this guy looks like in his "tight jeans."
His concerns must be for the Barney Franks and the Chris Wallace's of the world. Chris Wallace who gets a tingly feeling up his legs when he sees obama, and I shudder to think what Barney Franks reaction might be.

You people in the media and fashion industry are totally nuts.

Wars are going on all over the world, military are dying, people are losing their jobs, we are worried about a possible depression, the USA is going down the tubes, a pandemic may be coming and you are worried about Obama's jeans. What is wrong with you folks. It's no wonder people no longer have any respect for the USA.

To even print this article confirms that CNN is totally losing any respect it ever had.

China will soon be taking on the leadership of the world and while I fear that happening the USA can only blame itself.

Bush basically set the world on its head and will be known for the downfall of the USA and then you keep talking about birdbrain Palin as though she has something to offer.

For heaven's sake ...wake up and smell the roses!

Laughing at this story CNN. Yeah I have to agree Mr. President, nutters are not mans best friend, I don't care how cool you thought John Stockton, Larry Bird or Magic Johnson looked in them. Hey fashion nutjobs, ya wanna see a guy in tight gear, turn your attention to those steroid, over tanned, bad actors that most of you call "professional wrestlers". Sorry CNN, I digres!

Mr. President, Just admit that you share jeans with your wife..........its okay, i do it too.

The news has hit a new low when the president's jeans make headlines. It's something I've really been shook up about!?!!?!?!?!?!
How many babies were killed yesterday that won't be alive to wear a pair of jeans. That didn't make the news?!??!??!?!??!

I think it's great that this President is not as snobbish in his clothing style choice. Hey jeans are comfortable, and if he wants to be comfortable at a baseball game where your average Joe goes let him. Get off his back! at least he shows that he can be just an average person and not as stiff as the others before him by having to wear suits all the time like the rest of them

omg, the jeans were NOT THAT BAD!!!! Cmon people give the man a break!

Who would you rather have , Obama in frumpy jeans or Palin in a $10,000 outfit?
Joe from Georgia

I just can't believe what people criticize others about. Whoever the fashion police are need to realize that REAL GUYS don't give a crap about fashion; we only want comfortable clothes.

frumpy? How about fruity.

Quick! Somebody call Stacy and Clinton! "Comfortable" is not an excuse they recognize...

President Obama you're just fine in those jeans...it's a pitch of a ball not going to a townhall meeting or any meeting as for as that matters. Why everything has to be label or question about you and your wear. Whatever makes you comfortable; it's alright with me. I have two pairs of jeans that I love to wear more than others because they are comfortable and I look great in them . I love "our" President responds when it come to critics and criticism. I'm a woman and I do not like tight jeans; I like the baggy look. The President knowns how to wear his clothes and the right attire for the chosen or right occasion/situation. I like that he's a casual President and not a suit/tie all the time President.

President Obama, that's okay, you can be "frumpy" .... we voted for your intellect, ideas and promise of change not because you can throw a baseball or not.

This is newsworthy? Who Cares!!!!????

Does anybody REALLY care?

To waste public conversation on this is more evidence that we live in a decadent and infantile society.

I don't really see why this is an issue. At heart, I think all men are "T-shirt and Jeans" folk.

This is news? Seriously?

Looking good Mr. President. no need to change. Bravo!!!!!!

Most scrutinized President in history.

I see nothing wrong with the jeans...go Mr. President..I'm with you...comfort all the way !!

Good for you Mr. President. We didn't vote him into office to be a sex symbol, we voted for him for his brains and his ability to hopefully lead this country in the right direction again. For those who constantly find fault with his everyday attire, I say, get real and find something a little more useful to talk about. I sometimes find the things they talk about to be a little stupid, no, a lot stupid.

I think he looks good in those jeans.

I thought he looked great!

Good for him. I'm a little frumpy too.

He looks great. Who cares about this crap?

Seriously?... who cares about the President’s jeans? Like he said – “they were comfortable”.

Who cares!

I love our president. but CNN this is a ridiculous story. and so are the "fashion experts"

It is bizarre to me that there are people who think they know the universal rules of dress and who then enjoy making comments on what other people choose to wear. The only thing that can explain this kind of behavior is that they have become zombies of fashion marketing campaigns. What they are saying is that Obama's choice of jeans are not endorsed by recent fashion marketing campaigns.

Of course, next year "mom" jeans will be called "statement" jeans ("The jeans that you choose because you're confident as a man."). The same people will be ridiculing "non-mom" jeans, and urging all men to throw away their old, tight jeans. ("That's so 2009.")

Who cares about the Socialists jeans, on the other hand he throws like a little girl.

Not to mention that he throws baseballs like a little girl.

Are we that sad of a society that we have to comment on what the friggen president is wearing on his downtime?? and as usual it's negative.

Mr. President, you don't have to apologize for anything. No matter what you wear, you are a beautiful man inside and out. And I don't care what you trolls think of my comment. President Obama is a beautiful man and you know it! Mmm mmm mmm!

Oh My – Are you telling us he DID NOT spend $150,000 on clothes? How can that be? Even the R VP candidate spent money on clothes that were never used again and nothing about them being donated.

What a truly intellectual article this is CNN. Improvement over the normal e-gossip? NO.

i agree, the pres shouldn't wear his jeans like Garth Brooks or Tobey Keith

He looks like anyregular guy in those jeans. Isn't that what we want?
How else would we know when he looks great?

Really, who cares? This is news? And someone is being paid to write about these kind of things?

obama can wair whatever he wants, I don't care. As long as he doesn't dress up as a clown, it's ok.

CNN - Enjoying a little self-generated self-promotion self-ishly this morning?

Jeez, it's just a pair of jeans. Who can blame a guy for wanting to wear a comfortable pair of jeans?

Seriously, Michelle Obama, get over yourself and help out your husband a bit in clothes. I know you like the attention on just yourself, but for Christ's sake, he is the Leader of the Free World!
Also, let's all stop over-drooling about how fabulous Michelle looks–she's less than average as compared to some other famous political personalities-Carla Sarkozy, Queen Letizia of Spain, Queen Rania, First Lady of Spain, etc. Check it out!

Who cares what The President wears as long as he looks the part and appears professional. This President who campaigned on change is certainly living up to that with his proposals and spending sprees. All of this will affect Americans for generations to come. Some think these changes are positive while others are not so sure. Whatever the case – a report on what he wears is NOT NEWS. The press continues to "fawn" over this guy – showing their incompetence to report objectively about anything that he does.

With the country facing serious problems, this subject is not worthy of a comment.

If you should ask me, I would say it is Mrs. Obama who looks frumpy!
With those belts up way too high and wrapped around a tight sweater just looks strange on a woman that has a big frame.But who a I to say, when all the "people in vogue" say she is a fashion icon! I just don't get it I guess....

Fashion is for the young and mindless followers of trends.Its all about making you spend money to keep up with the Jones.The sheep are eager to follow fashion because they dont have a mind of their own.Vanity is the biggest motivator for fashion and cosmetics sales and we all know who the buyers are,dont we?

Thanks for posting these important news stories. Just keep ignoring the destruction of America as Obama tries to bankrupt the USA.

I liked his jeans. He is free to wear whatever he likes.

Good for him.
What a ridiculous trivial topic!
With all the issues we have in this country, who cares what kind of jeans the President wears.

When he threw out that first pitch, I was thinking "what a regular guy he looks like in those jeans." He looked great, has personality and class, and he is very intelligent; what more could anyone want? I think the Republicans feel....well, if he was only a Republican then he could do no wrong. Pres. Obama, you listen to me and not all those so-called "judges of fashion."

Mr. President, I think you looked fine. Don't do designer jeans and love it because you know how and when to be comfortable!

Now that this important info has been released, the economy will start to recover, world markets will stabilize, global warming will reverse itself, and terrorists will put down their weapons. Our healthcare will still suck though.

The man can wear what he wants! If you don't like what he wears, then by all means go out and by him a new wardrove!

Frumpy or not he was dressed for a baseball game, I see nothing wrong with his attire. By the way, what exactly is the functionality of a suit and tie.

The only thing that really matters is, did he get the ball over the plate?

Only 105 of the people are left handed but 80% of the Presidents since World War 2 are left handed. B oth McCain and Obama are left handed. Why?

Good to see the President making a pitch for (Health Care Reform) what strikes me with President Obama, is that the President is comfortable , in his own skin. He is (Down to Earth) and it is (Refreshing) to have a President who can display a casual outlook.Many Americans can relate to that, we go out to the (Ballparks) in our (jeans) and like to be (settle) and enjoy the (Game). I think is so (Kool) that President complements (The First Lady) with her Fashion, and does not let (Weak ) criticism distract him form what is more important (The Country). President Obama is a (NEW) and (KOOL) , (Commander and Chief ) and keep hitting (HOME RUNS) for the (Nation) Mr.President..........

He's can wear what he wants and still look great! He's late 40's not twenty. Glad to see his attention is where it should be and not on his casual clothes sense. Although Mr. President, new jeans don't have to be tight.....and his suits look great. Would like to see him wear some lighter, summer colors though.

Oh he's a little more than just frumpy, he's a liar. No one who claims to be a Sox fan could make the mistake of calling Comiski Park Comminsky Field. He also said that he remembers sitting in the steep upper section of the old Comiski park. The old Comiski park had very shallow upper section, the steep section is in the new Cellular Field. I doubt that this liar was ever at a Sox game. If he can lie about this how can you trust him at all. What a Baffoon.

Wow. It's a *baseball game.* Who cares what he wears??

Who cares? Let the man wear what is comfortable.

I think the president looks good in anything he wears.
It's not the pants or clothes it's the man in them.
Smart, good looking, and great Father,husband and Top notch PREZ.
Keep up the good work Mr. President Obama.

He looks good in everything. Tight jeans are for men who sing country music and that's not cute at all.

Who cares! There are real issues facing this country, who cares what type of jeans the President wears to a baseball game.

this is the kind of president we are looking for. I am praying for you. Mr. President. Keep up the good work. Watch out the waste of TARP. i am kind of concerned there.

Who in the world cares?

I've seen pictures of the so=called fashion experts. Methinks their
taste is in the loo. Just who do they think they are to pass judgement
on ANYONE, let alone our President.???

Obama's jeans... I'm glad we're back on serious subject and keeping 'em honest.

This is news or is this entertainment

It's ok what ever the POTUS wear he still gonna look great, that's right President Obama kill "em" with kindness

I love this guy. He's so down to earth and real, and he tackles everything with intelligence, care, honesty and insight, and always invites new ideas from everyone. I would hate his job, but I am so glad he took the position! I feel good with him in charge. Sorry to all the naysayers, but we've been a country of complacents for too long and now we have to fix a whole bunch of things. Change isn't always comfortable, but I finally feel that we're going in a positive direction as a country and as a world leader (a compassionate world leader).

I think my President looked comfortable and casual in his jeans - that looked nothing like "Mom" jeans – whatever that is! What do you people want – the Marky Mark look? You'd REALLY criticize that! You people are pathetic. Find something more meaningful to criticize. I'd like to see what each of you would wear on a pitcher's mound. Barack dresses like every other American, which is perfectly in line with his "every American" values – which he puts into action everyday! Everyone needs to get a life, or go on "What Not 2 Wear" (is that the name of that show?) and pick on someone in your own family who is truly frumpy – and not a world leader who knows how to relax – something you all need to do! Having to type this reply is a waste of my important time – but you all need to "get it" – which clearly you don't!

Who cares what jeans he wears? fashion critics? he isnt a model!

And we care about his jeans why? I prefer a someone whose jeans sit at the waist with a belt. He's the President not some rapper who thinks the world should see his underwear. Jeanne Moos and other consumed by this should get a life. How about volunteering in a homeless shelter where mom jeans would be greatly appreciated by someone with nothing.

He's great!! No matter what he is wearing!!
We should be grateful we have such an intelligent, future thinking man as our president!

Obama had those jeans since Harvard days.....we used to make fun of him whenever he worn it.

I also thought those were bad jeans, but I think as President, he's better off being mocked for wearing unfashionable pants than being criticized for wearing $200+ designer jeans at a baseball game during a massive recession.

He has a much easier time defending this choice than having to defend how much "his people" spent on his baseball outfit. He looked like a real dad out there.

Forget the jeans he throws like a girl.

Impressive. Criticizing the jeans of our President. This is news? When will Americans think about what is important instead of succumbing to distractions? And when will our media stop pandering to our lowest instincts?

Thank God that issue has been resolved, I've been losing sleep over it nightly. Sure am glad there's responsible reporting out there to cover the utmost of topics. Thanks Fox, er umm CNN!

Seriously???? I have $22.00 in my checking account with payday still two days away!!!!!!

Don't you think it's about time to take this President to task? I swear...with the exception of VERY few, most of the Media wants to have this guy's baby.

Can we stop the hero worship and get to work!!!

Oh and Mr. President....I would really appreciate it if you stopped campaigning and got to work! And, you sir, should be telling the Press that there's alot more serious things to discuss with you, than what you or your wife wears!!

I'm lucky. I work at a job where I wear jeans every day. I've done so for the last 20 years. Jeans aren't frumpy. They're comfortable and practical. President Obama's jeans look good. They're not torn, faded, ripped or hanging halfway down.

So what's the big deal that he wore jeans to a baseball game?

Wouldn't you? I know I would.

Note to fashion police: Get a life.

His must have stimulus plan DID NOT do what he said it would. His 'cap and trade' farce of a bill will increase peoples' utility bills, AND has no support from countries who put out more pollution than the US does. His healthcare dream is nothing more than a nightmare that will RAISE taxes, FORCE private healthcare OUT OF BUSINESS (raising unemployment even more), and will LOWER the quality of healthcare in America.

And the only thing he can gripe about is his clothing style? Man, is this guy full of himself or what? History classes 50 years from now will look back upon this as one of the biggest mistakes America ever made. In fact, people, governments, businesses will have a new term for someone who looks real cool, but comes in and messes things up completely and does more damage than anyone thought possible...Obama'd

I was wondering if he borrowed the jeans from John McCain.

can you spell "who cares"

fix it so that no one who has has health insurance for 29 years goes bankrupt after a heart attack and you can wear shorts to work Mr. President

I'd like a President who knows what he's doing and won't bankrupt the country with runaway spending and big government. I don't care what he wears!

He still looked pretty darn good to me, frumpy or not. Use your imagination!

The fashion world is delusional. Who the hell cares what his jeans look like. They probably didn’t cost multiple hundreds of dollars so the fashionistas get up in arms? Give me a break, the fashion industry is useless to just about every average American. As much as I didn’t think Obama should become President (nor did I think McCain should be) I'm glad that he doesn’t have to spend a gratuitous amount of money for some stupid designer jeans.

I am a 50+ year old man. I've owned only two suits at one time (my whole life). I heard President Obama make the same comment (I only had four suits) during his campaign. For some reason, he seems to think that four suits isn't alot! But with each suit costing upwards of $300 (estimate) - I'd say he's a bit out of touch with what the average American can afford.

Who cares if Obama is a frump? Bush is a war criminal..... let's get some perspective here.

Another Mainstream Media pass or ignorance on the real issues President Obama Faces.

$780,000,000,000 Bush Bank Bailout +
$800,000,000,000 Obama Recovery Act +
$1,000,000,000,000 Obama FY 2009 Budget +
$1,000,000,000,000 Obama Universal Healthcare =
$3,580,000,000,000 Spent in 1 year

My Annual Salary $40,000 taxed $10,000 from my salary. Spending needs to stop and No Media Outlet is criticizing what Obama wants to spend but talks about has time to talk about his Fashion faux paux.

Who cares, there were only about four thousand people there anyway. Not a real big turn out for the President. Guess a lot of people just weren't interested in the man.

Of course the President would have looked nicer in slim jeans, but the important thing is that he should be comfortable on his free time and he looked good to me. Of course if he wore slim jeans then there would be those who said he looked too sexy in them, just can't please everyone it seems.

Well, what do you know? The President wears blue jeans. So do 70% of all airline travelers and 95% of all Americans under the age of 75.

I'm guessing President Obama’s critics would have expected the President to wear robes, i.e.; dress like the Savior, as they like to mock him. I don't know what is more appalling; your ignorance regarding this man or your sacrilegious statements comparing our President to our Lord.

I must ask: Do any of President Obama's critics wonder, or even care, if President Bush wore blue jeans while brushing his Texas property?

Pretty weighty subject matter, thanks CNN. HR 1018 passed the house Friday, yet no discussion here. I guess if Americans don't know about the 700 million dollars we just spent to conduct a bi-annual census of wild horses and provide "enhanced contraception" for them, it's just all the better. What's even richer is that the sponsor of the bill was from West Virginia.

I wouldn't think that a program named "Restore our American Mustangs Act" would have a provision for contraception in it. If the point of the bill is to 'restore' the Mustang, one would think just the opposite.

But what do I know? I'm not an enlightened member of Congress.

This is not journmalism...this is the media blushing and squirming over their crush on the new cute guy at school.

"Did you see his jeans?" (giggle, squirm, giggle) CNN whispers to ABC.

"I think he's JUST DREAMY" (tee hee hee) ABC whispers back.

I voted for the guy and I'm sick and tired of the mainstream media fawning over him. Why don't you criticize him like you're supposed to until he gets off that cute butt of his and addresses gay rights.

I do not often agree with our President, but on wearing jeans I support him 100%. Why can't men wear what is comfortable. Most times when we wear jeans is because we are doing some type of outdoor work, and comforatable is key if you are going to be sweaty and lifting.
Just ask the fashion police how long they can mow a lawn with jeans so tight you can't breathe or move?

Who cares what he is wearing? This is news? Come on CNN, get off these stupid, no good, do nothing stories about the POTUS and start talking about his politics!!!

PLEASE!!!! Enough already!

The news media has officially become a laughing stock when it comes to this President! All the fawning is appalling!

We will certainly miss you Walter Cronkite!

I don't care whether this is newsworthy or not...it's so nice to have a president that isn't elite...just a down-to-earth guy. Do I wish that he wasn't spending so much? Sure. But I'd say that what he's doing for the image of the US more than compensates.

Who even asked him about his pants? That's some hard-hitting journalism for you. Ha ha.

Why didn't they ask him about his birth certificate, or why he keeps pushing for more taxes and money for his government? Are they allowed to ask those questions?

Just file the story under fluff. Who cares what kind of jeans the President wears?! Is he going to figure out how to put more money in my jeans pocket?

I guess people have nothing better to do. If his jeans were tight and his crotch was showing it would have been all over the tabloids. leave this man alone and let him enjoy the same rights and freedom as everyone else!

Who cares about the jeans? Go SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(btw plz hire a pitching coach before your next pitch, Pres. Obama, that was really bad!)

I agree with Pres Obama..I have always been one to go for the comfort, than what style is in..To me it is more important to be comfortale in what you are wearing, then to be worried about what people expect or want you to wear..I dress to please myself and not others, unless it is very special occassion like a wedding, at which time i will sacrifice comfort for the wedding party !..So go on Obama , you are doing a great job !!!

Michelle Obama a global fashion super star? Are you kidding me?

Seriously? The fringe will criticize & complain about ANYTHING.

"Jeans"...I've heard it all now. Unbelievable.

Stay focused & comfortable, Mr. President, and ignore these overtly superficial & petty distracters.

Oh, Please can't we stick to and talk about topics, issues that have substance, benefit American People. Who cares what he or Mrs. O wear. I believe they are so secure they could wear burlap and still feel good about themselves. What you are is not based on designer clothes or what you have on your back. We are so shallow, so materialistic .

As usual as one man who is running for a political office said their mission is to see that Our Pres meets his WATERLOO and to break him. The GOP and many Blue
Dog Dems are not interested in making America a better place for all, they only want to destroy Pres. Obama. Racism, hatred, is so obvious in the hearts of so many of our political representatives both GOP and DEMS especially those from the South, Mid West, and old.

Many who present the NEWS are just as racist, hate all people of color. Our President represents all Americans regardless of color,race,creed, religion, or sexual preference. He DOES NOT preach HATE, FEAR, AND DIVISION. He is a GOOD president, support him, give him a chance, as much time as you gave Bush to ruin this country. Give him some time. Too many WHITES want to destroy him don't be one of them. If our Country goes down so do all of us.

That was so SWEET!!! Can we have some information on "boxers or briefs?" Wake up CNN we are suffering out here.

How nice that we have nothing more important to focus on in this country than the jeans the President wears. What is wrong with the news media these days? Really, what is wrong with you? To give this "story" any mileage is ridiculous. The guy can't even wear a pair of jeans without him being criticized. If you are going to attack him, at least make it for a credible reason. Are you all Rethuglicons, or what?

Sir, we don't care how you look, you are doing a wonderful job working for the people and it is much appreciated. Thank you!

Wow, this is the hard-hitting journalism that I so crave. I am sure the media spent precious time discussing the fashion faux pas of past presidents. Was President Washington’s wig “frumpy”? Did the suit that Jefferson wore look “gauche”? President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was surely “stuffy” in his white suits? I have to tell you, I thought the fashion sense of President Taft was “saucy”. We are closer to Pope’s “Rape of the Lock” being a hard news story rather than the utter satire it was intended to be. Walter Kronkite, we miss your sensibility in these woeful lack of intelligent discourse times.

Wait until they find out he snores!!

You are a great president and that is all that matters! Thank you for working so tirelesslessly to fix the MESS left to you by the republicans.

He looks good to me!!!
I love a man who can make fun of himself.

Mom jeans? Who cares abut that. Did you see that Mom throw? Now that was frumpy, wimpy, and embarassing.

He also throws like a girl. So he's basically a frumpy girl.

This is it? From banks making billions after governmment loans and no accountability as to how it was spent to helath care reform that apparently will bankrupt the middle class to pay for it to another six months at Guantanamo to another czar for Obama and it all boils down to what Obama wears for clothes.

...I'm sorry. I'm not the guy,"

LOL!!!!!!!!! He is sooooo real and natural.

I really pray that everything works out for Obama and the country.

We have $11,000,000,000,000 of debt that is increasing by $1,000,000,000,000 a year and this is the first-up topic?

God help us all.

Obama is selling snake-oil on healthcare, "green" energy, and is about to offer amnesty to 20,000,000 illegal aliens so in 20 years we will have 40,000,000 illegal aliens...and this is CNN's top priority on the political ticker!

This country is about to drown in debt and the president is proposing a massive, long-term spending spree...

This country punishes people who make the smart and hard choices with and rewards deadbeats and illegal aliens...

...and this is CNN's top priority on the political ticker!

More fluff reporting when serious matters go unreported. Curious that Obama has delayed the release of the mid-session budget review which should have been out last week. But more bad news on the spiraling deficit may have tainted his glowing aspirations for universal healthcare. Fortunately for Obama, he can always depend on his co-conspirators in the mainstream media in his fleecing of America.

who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama can go to overstock and type in AG Jeans Men's. They cost Between $200-$300 in department stores but on overstock he can get them between $50-$70. The AG Straight-leg are both comfortable and fabulous looking.

why has the world became what u wear world? We are all people it shouldnt matter what we wear as long as its decent of course. What a materialistic world it has become!

Who doesn't dress casually for a ball game? Most attendees are usually in jeans, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, etc. I think people need to keep things in perspective. Everyone should have the right to dress down, including the President. Dress appropriately for the function you are attending... that's what my mom always taught me!

I think the president has his priorities in order, serving the American people. That's all that matters.

be available in sufficient quantities this winter........Americans will be falling over in droves.......and you're talking about fashion.....

Talk about fiddling while Rome burns.......what is Obama doing???

I am glad my President doesn't feel he needs $300 blue jeans!

You weren't voted in to look good.....you were voted in to help this country and frankly, you need all the help you can get......

just concentrate on making this country better, Barrack..... that's why you're in office..... I don't care what your clothes look like.

I'd rather you fix this economy than wear triple-digit jeans....

and by the way..... if you didn't fly to the middle of the country to throw a ball..... my tax money wouldn't have been used for your security and air force one time.....and you may have had a chance to meet with someone in Washington on health care, the economy, immigration, etc., instead.....

quit being a rock star and start being my president.....

Maybe the country should have elected Michelle. She's prettier and dresses up better than Barack–and maybe she'd be less inclined to wreck the US economy with trillion-dollar spending sprees and wreck the US health care system by socialising it.

Memo to CNN- This ain't news,folks!!

CNN..... you have got to be kidding me. When did you trade in your journalism to be Obama's PR team? In case you haven't noticed there are things like him saying that he is going to raise taxes that might be more important for you to inform the public about.

Hey BO. worry about the economy, not fashion.

People need to stop and inhale some fresh air. Only simpletons pay attention to this kind of stuff and have me wasting my time commenting on it. I hold you responsible CNN for taking me there.

Why doesn't CNN talk about the dorky clothes John King wears?

only four suits? he's more of an everyman than his colorful speeches would imply. I kind of like knowing he's not spending his time figuring out what to wear. we've got more important things for him to do.

U GO BOY!!! Mr. President!! You still look good!! And on top of that – You're DOWN TO EARTH – not up THERE where there is NO AIR!!!

U Leave the fashions to Michele who is doing an EXCELLENT job!!!

I'm more concrned about what he thinks than how he looks.

Seriously, who cares? Wars, famines, droughts, terrorism, nuclear armament, economic collapse... and the people who supposedly bring the worlds most important news to us are wasting their time/lives/talent reporting on how sexy the president's jeans are/aren't? Pathetic.

Let's give credit where credit is due. You should have named the interviewer (Ms. Viera). That would have been appropriate and professional instead of just plagiarizing portions.

Is this just another lie, or is he using our tax money to buy mom jeans?

I think that he always looks great...it has nothing to do with clothes, it's about the person's integrity, presence and charisma and our President has all of these qualities I thank God everyday that President Obama is in the White House!

Who cares? Are we watching the Obama family reality show?

People keep saying that dignity has been removed from the White House and needs to be restored. The first step that needs to happen is for the media to stop reporting crap like this.

people!! those of us who just worry about fashion. I have this message. this President has bigger fish to fry!! give him support. listen. get the facts. and help do what's right for this country. it's citizens. and our place in the world.

Who really cares what he wears . . . as long as he is comfortable then that is all that matters?? I mean I dont expect him to wear Armani as he runs our country into the ground. I also dont understand what the big deal is with the fascination with Michelle Obama . . . she is below average looking and looks a bit manish to me and especially with that mouth and big shoulders. She definitely isnt anything I would turn my head around for . . . but then maybe she looks amazing coompared to the past few first ladies so maybe that is guideline being used.

Im not a fan of obama but

you know, he does have a personality i'll give him that.

his policies scare the heck out of me and i dont like them

but he does have a personality

[...] is your important scoop of the day from very serious newsmakers CNN: those jeans Obama wore at the All-Star Game do make his butt look big. This is an American travesty of epic [...]

If you "care" what jeans Obama wears.....you have some major problems.

Could his positive number slide be tied to his choice in jeans? Or his horrid health care reform price tag and HIS languishing economy? The world will never know.

For crying out loud – this is news???? With all that's going on in this country, you print garbage like this? Michelle does NOT look fabulous – she's one of the most horribly clothed person I've ever seen. The fashionistas are too busy shoving their noses in the perverbial "spot", they aren't going to say squat! Global fashion super star? The other countries laugh at how she mis-dresses for different occasions. Get it right CNN>

I thought the jeans look fine. I don't want a President wearing tight jeans. I don't it is frumpy as oppose to being comfortable. The level of comfort is unique as is a fingerprint.

I agree, I've seen in him in much better jeans

Why is this nonsense news?

Do we care? NO.

More on to the real news...how Obama's trying to ram health reform down our throats!

That's a funny article. President Obama has a good sense of humor even if his jeans didn’t cost $150,000 at Victoria’s Undies. I think he's being a little hard on himself when he calls himself frumpy. Take a look at some of the American tourists in Europe stepping out of their planned vacation tour buses if you want to see frumpy.....It's the Griswolds times 56.

Sarah Palin/OctoMom/Kate Gosselin for Co-Presidents 2012!

This content of this message was paid for by the 'Bridezilla/She's got the Look' Foundation of America.

Mr President Obama be yourself, forget the fashion critics. If those jeans are comfortable wear them. There are more things to talk about like health care.

This belongs in the celebrity section!! Another waste of space, when there is so much "news" that we would expect a news channel to post.

He is fabulously handsome. And I love his style.

he is a little squrriely...........
