Obama Defends His Mom Jeans

The most humiliating moment in our national history -- "America's Waterloo," they called it -- occurred when President Obama threw that pitch to Albert Pujols like a total sally. Compounding the embarrassment was the pair of high-waisted, pouffy jeans he wore, which will be forever associated with deficit-inflating naifs as surely as a cardigan says "Jimmy Carter." But President Obama will not apologize for his mom jeans! Today he told NBC, "for those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I'm sorry. I'm not the guy." President Sarah Palin would never had suggested something so outrageous. [ Political Ticker,   White House Flickr page ]
