The Obama's dress code

Michelle Obama’s shorts and Barack Obama’s “mom jeans”

First lady Michelle Obama is an icon to the entire world. Some ponder whether or not she should dress more conservative or stay true to herself, wearing whatever makes her feel comfortable. Recently the Obama family visited the Grand Canyon and Michelle Obama was seen in shorts that the critics argued as being to short. MSNBC writer Bobble Thomas says Michelle Obama has long legs and she pulled of the look. I believe the First Lady was dressed for the occasion when seen on the family trip. Regardless, Michelle Obama is a normal person and in my opinion, as long as she plays her role in the White House, she is ok to wear whatever she pleases. Contrary she is an important figure in the eyes of the entire world and she should portray herself in a manner that reflects this image.

President Barack Obama was seen throwing the first pitch at the All Star Game and he has been criticized for his choice in jeans. Meredith Vieira from the today show shared her opinion about his jeans. She said, “they were to short and to baggy”. The media is calling his jeans “mom jeans”. “Even though Barack Obama is the United States President, I feel that he is being wrongly criticized for what he whore. Yes he is the President but how else do you expect a person to dress at a baseball game. I don’t believe he should have worn something formal because the occasion didn’t call for it.
