Confirmed: Obama’s “mom jeans” now officially a national news story

In which CNN totally redeems itself for the other mom-themed political video they foisted on us today. Watch closely here and you’ll see the tweet that was sent to me last night — and which I linked in our post about The One throwing out the first pitch — flash by for a second or two. Good lord: Did Hot Air launch the Obama “mom jeans” meme? Behold my proudest moment as a blogger, my friends.

Don’t they usually show it from a different view
so we can see the catch?

**************************

I read a story earlier that stated there was a media request from the White House not to show a specific angle. The media request was honored.

Almost as manly as John F Kerry.

The pic is real. Of course it's been animated for effect. Here's the original.

He looks stoned to me as well.

I thought I read somewhere that he’d been practicing for a month. heh

Are those mom jeans?

[savedbygrace]

Just think, if Hillary had won and become president, she wouldn’t be getting razzed for throwing like a girl.

Three (make it four) points to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kymXpJg9Z40 video.

Lots of booooo’s can be heard, the driver of car carrying the ball will not even look at our CiC (until the end), FOX is to blame for Urkle's mom jean wearing lousy throw, and I miss President Bush.

Stole it from Jim Thompson rant thread.

I don't understand why he doesn't know how to throw. There is Little League in Indonesia.

Maybe my new tagline has the answer.

Since Obamassiah made the 2009 All-Star Game seem like it was "The All-Star Obama Game", and since he was gonna throw like he did, he should have ditched the mom jeans and went to the mound dressed in the proper attire:

[jennyjenny]

Ah, it looks like there is 3 ft of availble couch space available that’s not being used. Obama looks very...ahem...relaxed.

[antiunion person]

Correction, he throws like a little bitch.

[Dinah Lord]

Check out the creases in his mom jeans.

Looks like he even gets those babies dry cleaned...make that - we pay to get those babies dry cleaned.

The difference between W’s pitch and Mr. Mom Jeans is striking.

[LucyT]

Mom jeans:

“jeans highlighting the flat curvature of the 40+ buttocks. Similies: upside-down-heart shaped-butt. Commonly seen aacompained with front butt. Extremly high waist, and always a crappy shade of blue or black. Usually found in Kohl’s or Mervyn’s.”

[GOP Poet]

too much to bear really. lol.

What I got a kick out of is how the announcers said that it was a perfect pitch right across the plate! Heck, if that were the case, then ‘sign-im-up’ !!! /laughs
