In defense of mom jeans, Obama: ‘I’m a little frumpy’

By Amelia Robinson | Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 11:44 AM

President Obama made a startling confession on the heels of Mom Jeans-gate 09, one of the biggest scandals to rock his administration thus far.

“Michelle, she looks fabulous. I’m a little frumpy,” he told Meredith Vieira in a Today Show interview that aired Tuesday, July 21.

Obama was responding to fashionable-types who called the pants he wore to last week’s MLB All-Star Game mom jeans, dad jeans or/and nerd jeans.

Obama spent much of the interview talking about ‘important’ issues like health care, Brazilian custody battles, banking, proposals and budget offices.

He gets to the jeans 13 minutes into the interview.

Obama says up until a few years ago he only had about four suits and his wife use to tease him. He said his jeans are comfortable and he hates to shop.

” For those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I am sorry I am not the guy,” he said. “It just doesn’t fit me, i am not 20.” What do you think?
