Wonkette
The national press corps has found EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT CNN footage of Obama wearing — gasp — jeans on his airplane, while talking on the phone. Watch this inflammatory CNN video here of Obama wearing a certain type of common pants. John McCain calls them "dungarees." [CNN]
sit down, i can't see it!

Hmm, they don't show you the angle where his pants were hanging below his knees, with a belt on.
Hard working Americans, by which I mean White Americans, would never be seen in such casual attire. This is why Hillary Clinton should be president, because she owns no pairs of jeans. Not even skinny jeans. And she certainly does not wear chinos.
It's all part of his plan to win the votes of the working class, using Hillary tactics: Denim pantsuits.
Now he's competing directly with Old Man Take a Look at My Life. The message: McCain may look old and frumpy in that corset of his (under the v-neck sweater) but at least Obama has a firm, healthy body.
Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton was later seen in some velour sweatpants with "JUICY" printed across the ass.
@Dramatist: You've never heard of mom jeans? Hillary invented those shits when on the board at Wal-Mart in the 80's, where she fought hard for the hard working lady workers there.
Pro'bly a pair of them fancy Jordash jeans, I bet.
My father calls them "dungarees." He also wanted to know where on the cell phone he could find the cassette to record a new outgoing voicemail message.
@ForTheTurnstiles:
Are those the jeans that accentuate the FUPA?
@Serolf Divad: Yes, these are surely elitist Earnest Sewn jeans.
When did CNN become Extra?
I liked all the reporters shrieking "sit down! get down!" to the person who was blocking their view of Obama and his sexy sexy jeans. So middle school.
He's talking to his dealer. His Muslim dealer. Hillary, go nuclear!
Imagine how proud the sweat shop workers in Yemen, Nicaragua, or Ceylon feel seeing the next President of the USA wearing their handiwork.
Those aren't even jeans, they're Dockers, the uniform pants of the cubicle jockey.
@El Bombastico: C'mon. Citizens for Humanity. Or Seven For All Mankind. Or something that reeks of populism while still holding firm to elitist cred.
Doesn't Obama know not to hold cell phones next to his head? Shame on him. He should know better. Use a headset. We don't want the President getting brain cancer.
I bet there's a GIANT Southpole patch sewn on the back pocket.
To be serious for a minute, I'm really trying to figure out why this is such a big deal. And, to be honest, the only thing I can come up with is that there's got to be a ton of gossip among the reporters that Obama is packing some huge heat or something, because hasn't EVERY candidate worn jeans at some time or another? I mean, Bush wears jeans all the time on his stupid ranch, and you never see "ZOMG teh President is wearing teh jeanz" stories.
@ForTheTurnstiles:
healthy? he looks yellow to me. I think he must have hepatitis.
It's on the YouTubes now as well (yes, I was sad enough to check):
+ Watch video
@Dave J.: did Richard Nixon ever wear jeans?
oh my, that was almost NSFW!
I assumed Jim was exaggerating when he bannered "Obama Wears Jeans," but by God, that's what CNN's headline says too.
At least Wonkette is intentionally silly.
@TEAM HEIDI: you turn yellow when you get jaundice, or if you eat too much rice.
Are those Bugle Boy jeans?
@Dave J.: +1. Utterly wrong and gross on so many levels, but +1 nonetheless.
@superfectablog: Thank you saddie, I really enjoyed that!
The Big O is being interviewed at the moment by Blitz. It is not just his formal speeches that are "better"...he is just really nice to listen to on nearly all subjects...such a nice treat after 8 years of cringing.
He also has the shockingly disturbing ability to discuss/explain reasonably complex concepts in a way that can be easily understood by nearly all...without sounding patronizing. It is really quite a gift.
"If I am looking back 8 years from now..." hehe
@TEAM HEIDI: That's "high yellow" to you. And tragic, he looks awfully tragic.
Just wait till you see McCain in his cutoff jean shorts.
He's on a conference call with Kim Jung Il, Ahmadinejad and Chavez conspiring against the jews. He is a very dangerous man.
@DaDRIZZLE: McCain is a never-nude, it turns out.
@Dave J.: Indeed, there've been rumors about other candidates packing huge heat, based on their jeans photos: [coverstories.barewalls.com]
@DaDRIZZLE: Lieutenant Dangle... your balls are hanging out.
@superfectablog:
OK, I've finally figured it out. Don't know why it took me so long:
@ForTheTurnstiles: dammit you beat me to the 'mom jeans' joke!
+ Watch video
+ Watch video
(I guess NBC has locked all old SNL skits in a vault along with anything else that was funny on their network)
Man, when he turned around to model those bad boys...ooooo to have a close-up of dat ass!
@Dave J.: @DaDRIZZLE:
[us.st11.yimg.com]
Are they surprised that he's not wearing his dishdasha?
@Serolf Divad: could you post a picture of Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) next to Obama? I think that is a much more striking resemblance. Mostly because of the same sallow greenish complexion and spindly limbs.
@magneticfields: in response to your question, I think that Obama would have to be packing some pretty big heat to make it through Michelle "Rottweiler" Obama's huge rump. There is some serious junk in her trunk.
@IrasGlasses: If that cancer thing turned out to be real, I'd be more concerned about him presumably holding his phone so close to his "dungarees" in those skinny pants.
@DaDRIZZLE: Daisy Dukes? Oh my how unpleasant.
@Dave J.: Well, he always wears a suit. Most candidates try to dress down to relate to the common folk. Of course if Barack did that someone would probably mistake him for the valet/janitor/busboy.
Obama couldn't make that pose and wear those pants without it having some sort of sexist undertones... good for him, now that she is out of the race!
"she" being Hillary Clinton. Never forget.
Thank you Jim Newell! You have heeded our call! Nothing heals the wounds of Hillary's disgusting racism like a picture of sexy Barry in his sexy jeans! Hooray!
@Seek: Could be his strategy to work the gay vote?
@BlogFather: Actually, they're Bad Idea jeans.
But then I thought, when am I gonna make it back to Haiti?
@Serolf Divad:
I always thought he kind of looked like Tuvok.
@CrabPeople:
s'OK, my mom once asked me why it always looked like I was wearing the same pair of "denim trousers"...yea, I know.
It bugs the crap out of me when people tuck a shirt into jeans. Especially when they aren't wearing a belt, while sporting a really old pair of new balances.
If only he were wearing a simple white undershirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve, then he wouldn't be elitist anymore. Well, except for having a plane.
@Wavingsuzy: I certainly hope not. McCain may be such the Hipster that he thinks it could work but I hope to god someone gauges my eyes out before I see that.
@Naked Bunny with a Whip: Someone should do a sketch where BO and Hillz try to out Fonz each other.
I have spoken it; Now I await the day it appears on youtube.
Beats looking at the front-butt Hillary would have wearing those.
@ProblemWithCaring:
Cool! Hills could fix gas prices and health care by whacking a juke box, and Barry could heal the racial divide with a toothy grin and a charming "eeeeyyy!"
you've gotta love the press clamoring for that first presidential crotch shot, too funny. he definitely upstaged those stupid bimbos that flash their cooches getting out of limos every night, i think he now owns the first mile high flasher title.

@TEAM HEIDI: Sorry missy, but Michelle is totally hot.
You want to see "junk", take a look at Hillary's ass.
That elitist Obama, sitting there on his phone in those jeans, he makes me sick. Why does he hate America?
Love that he's in jeans, but they have a little bit of the 'Mom Jeans' fit going on, no? What with the high waist and all...
@RebelliousRhino: That lapel flag incident reminded me of the episode of Seinfeld where kramer refuses to wear the pink ribbon in the marathon.
And the press is slain with teh pretteh.
@BlogFather: I think it looks pretty damn hot when you have a fit guy with some nice rounded butt going on (no flatbutts/plumbers cracks for me, thanks) wearing the shirt he wore under his suit tucked into the jeans he changed into to be more comfortable. But part of it is attitude, being confident about oneself. WALNUTS! would look moronic. Obama has teh pretteh and teh cool going on.
OK, excuse me, I am getting the vapors.
@BlogFather: Hey Cedric, Bob, this guy doesn't want to wear the pin.
WHO? Who doesn't want to wear the pin?
Here's a piece of useless trivia: all of the high quality denim comes from Japan now, since they bought Levi Strauss' original looms.
If Obama really wanted street cred, he'd wear that brand that Bono's wife sells, whatever it's called.
@Designerman: It's the Urkel influence. It'll catch on once he's Prez.
@Dave J.: Hell, I can't rememebr even seeing Nixon without a tie.
@BlogFather: Damn it. I was halfway through a comment on Mom Jeans and "patented front-butt technology" when I saw how dramatically you'd beaten me to it...
The CNN wolfie interview is great. Obama slams McNasty, too!
I think Wolfie is now a little bit gay for Obama.
@ronaldpagan: I love how Barry put his leg up on one of the arm rests, almost like he was thinking of us. "Hey ladies, wanna get a better look at my crotch?" Now if only he had done a few pelvic thrusts.
Thank you lots, Jim!
[www.jibjab.com]
This would get Barry some votes in Florida, if he wore these!
(He's) got that Jewess look!
Can you see WALNUTS trying to hoist his chimp leg up on the armrest? Pitiful fuck.
Is that a flagpin on his johnson?
Mark Penn beat Berry to it.

@bitchincamaro: Isn't that Andrew Sullivan?
@Serolf Divad:
ya know, I love me some Obama too, but on a pure visceral level...just no.
Denzel in his heyday was just on another level of fine. Obama's aight, but I love him for his brain and playa persona, not his looks.
