I love this part- "I hate to shop. Those jeans are comfortable. And for those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I'm sorry. I'm not the guy," Obama added.

'I'm a little frumpy,' Obama says

From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart

President Obama responded to criticism of his jeans with a simple explanation: 'Those jeans are comfortable.'
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sometimes even one of the most powerful men in the world has to answer to the fashion police.

President Barack Obama found himself in just that situation in an interview that aired Tuesday on NBC.

Asked about criticism of the jeans he wore recently when he threw out the first pitch last week at the Major League Baseball All-Stars game, Obama didn't make any excuses.

"Michelle – she looks fabulous," the president said of his wife who has increasingly become a global fashion super star since Election Day.

"I'm a little frumpy," Obama said of himself by comparison.

The president also offered some insights into his self-admitted lack of sartorial expertise.

"Up until a few years ago, I only had four suits," the commander-in-chief said.

"I hate to shop. Those jeans are comfortable. And for those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I'm sorry. I'm not the guy," Obama added.

Obama's jeans choice for his all-start game appearance were widely panned by fashion critics and even dubbed "mom jeans."

Not to dis your post...but the man is running the country into a deficit we will NEVER get out of...The only pitch I care about is when the American people wise up and pitch him out of the Whitehouse. First Bush, now Obama...are these two idiots the best America has to offer? seriously?

What get's me is that everything that is happening in this country and around the world Obama's jeans makes the news.

But on a totally non political POV....Men like to wear comfortable jeans and we don't really care what they look like
