McClatchy Political Reporter Writes Fawning Obama Fashion Story

The late Mr. Blackwell could have gotten a job as a political reporter for McClatchy newspapers. Should you doubt this assessment, then check out this McClatchy newspapers report about Barack Obama written by Halimah Abdullah which was described by McClatchy Watch as sounding like a cross between GQ and Teen magazine. A video showing Obama "Yes We Can" power ties was even included at the top of the story. You won't find a trace of political analysis in the story by this political reporter but it is chock full of fashion:

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama radiates a certain stylistic sophistication that's at once Kennedyesque in its reverence for clean-cut, American style and modern in its confident embrace of a look that's both effortless and urbane.

Just as President John F. Kennedy's affinity for looser two-button suits and his eschewing of hats revolutionized 20th-century menswear, Obama's post-baby boom approach to work wear — worn with hip-hop generation self-assurance — could transform how Americans view presidential fashion in the 21st century.

Kennedy probably had to wear looser suits because he wore a back brace. What’s Obambi’s excuse?

“worn with hip-hop generation self-assurance”

OK. Scuze me. I consider myself a ‘fashionista’ and have worked in ‘many a high-end boutique’..........but ‘HIP-HOP? Oh, dear. SnoopDawg? Post-posterior jeans with designer undies flaunted? Improper English (ebonics)? ‘Hood’ behavior as a ‘mark of pride’? How...............’Presidential’.

Stay classy (assy) UhBamUh! Cha-Ching. Next will all be ‘drankin’ ‘sizzurp’ or ‘lean’ while listening to rap. Yo.
