Obama Fashion

In the interest of "fair and balanced" coverage but mostly because this video clip is just so adorable, here's a clip of the Obamas discussing their views on fashion.

Yes, I understand that all this coverage of candidates' fashion choices is frivolous. Here's my defense, a comment I posted on The Fix:

Of course, it’s ridiculous but why stop now? We live in a world of 2-second sound bites such as, “most liberal member of the senate” and “wants to raise taxes for people making $42,000” and “supported Bush 90% of the time.” There is no attempt to even delve into intelligent debate and nuances.

If it is not about nuances and issues, but about personality instead, then this is fair game. You can’t accuse someone of being elitist when you are wearing a $2,500 jacket, just as you can’t accuse someone as being naïve and inexperienced (on foreign policy) because you can see Russia from your house, or accuse someone of palling around with terrorists when you pal around with secessionists. You reap what you sow.
