Unless hes wearing a tan suit, its not often that Barack Obamas wardrobe causes a stir. That all changed Wednesday evening.
The former president turned up in Durham, N.C., on Feb. 20 to watch the North Carolina Tar Heels play the Duke Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Both teams wear blue and white, but Obama eschewed team colors in favor of basic black. The reception his look has received, however, is anything but basic.
Eagle-viewed viewers noted that the former POTUSs black bomber jacket which some have now dubbed an O-bomber has 44 stitched in white on the sleeve. Its a reference to his standing as the 44th president, and its fair to say that a little bit of embroidery has never caused such a fuss.
The look has earned Obama often ribbed for wearing dad jeans some sartorial street cred.

You know it's coming... Once the Republican Apparatchiks see people liking anything Obama, they'll have to smear it.

(96 posts)Not to discount his brilliance and other non-surface attributes but damn he is looking good . He looks so much better now that he is out of office but how I wish he were still there. I'm not sure who's fashion statements I love more PBHO or FLMichele.

(810 posts)... I spent many years reading RWNJ forums, to see what the other side was up to. What a self-imposed, tortuous, wilderness it has been. I recently decided to read DU and sign up. It is refreshing to read and interact with logical, intelligent, humans.
This thread made me laugh out loud at my desk!

(1,568 posts)I miss the time when watching the SOTU had eye-candy center-stage. Smart, kind, hip and good looking. PBO has it all. And Dolt45 has nothing. I hope seeing this online this week is eating at him. Cause you know, like a crazy ex-girlfriend, he totally cyber stalks the Obamas.

He can actually walk a golf course.
He doesn't wear a dead rodent on his head and the look is simply handsome without AquaNet.
