"His wife may be one of the world&amp;#x27;s best dressed women, but Barack Obama defended his &amp;quot;mom jeans&amp;quot; on The Today Show this morning by simply admitting, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m a little frumpy.&amp;quot; A couple of hours ago, Meredith Viera took one for the team and asked the president the really, really tough question. She mentioned his appearance when he threw out the first pitch at the all-star game last week: &amp;quot;The fashion police went after you. They called them dad jeans, nerd jeans. You are married to one of the most fashionable women in the world. Do you want to defend the pants?&amp;quot; The president didn&amp;#x27;t even blink. &amp;quot;No,&amp;quot; he told her. &amp;quot;Michelle, she looks fabulous. I&amp;#x27;m a little frumpy.&amp;quot; He goes on to say that until a few years ago, his wife made fun of him for owning only four suits and that he hates to shop. &amp;quot;For those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I&amp;#x27;m sorry, I&amp;#x27;m not the guy.&amp;quot; Mr. Obama, let me just say...my father still owns (and even worse, wears) a pair of jeans he bought about eight years ago at Costco. I&amp;#x27;ve seen more offensive jeans this morning, and it&amp;#x27;s still just 10am. And I must admit, your copping to the comfort factor and not making it obvious that you&amp;#x27;re invested in your appearance? Kind of sexy! Don&amp;#x27;t you think? Check out the video now (the Very Important Question comes up at about the 12 and a half minute mark) and let us know what you think....are Obama&amp;#x27;s mom jeans really that bad? What do you make of his defense (or lack of defense) of them? Does your dad wear terrible jeans? Discuss!
