Obama's Mom Jeans at the All-Star Game

President Obama threw out the first pitch on Tuesday night in St. Louis.

He threw a rather weak lob (reminiscent of his struggles with bowling during the campaign - why does he struggle with certain sports since it seems like he's generally quite athletic and coordinated?), but the bigger (and funnier) controversy has been the "mom jeans" that he wore to the game.

Jeanne Moos
, from CNN, has a very funny summary here.

It's particularly amusing that there have been previous sightings of Obama in the mom jeans!! With Michelle being so fashionable (and given how "with it" Obama generally seems to be), I love that he's got about as much fashion sense as me!!!
