Wow, Hugo and Ides--first and second out of the gate. He really excites you guys, doesn't he? It's like a high-school crush.

Oops, by "him" I mean Seinfeld, not Obama.

I barely found him funny when his show was originally on TV, and I don't understand his continued popularity. Hell, Microsoft used him in those ads. But he seems so dated -- like Alf or Small Wonder or something.

Jerry Seinfeld has the worst style of any man to walk the face of the planet. As long as Obama doesn't show up in a suede jacket and purple turtle neck tucked into black jeans with white tennis shoes I'm not going to take shots at him.

I think that white people would get scared if Obama dressed "cool" at all. Granted, they treat all politicians like that. That's why all these pols dress so crappy, so that the lowest common denominator won't consider them "high-falutin". His casual clothes are very simple and safe.

Obama is definitely very elegant, comparisons with Seinfeld are absurd.

NO WAY! Polo shirts AND jeans? The first thing I think of is Jerry Seinfeld. NO ONE else wears those particular garments together! Thanks for pointing this out.

maybe this would be a pertinent joke in 1991.

This article was stupid on gawker and it was stupid here too. I think obama is very well dressed. When they caught him in the sox cap and jacket it was the morning after the inaguration. He's always dressed in well fitting suits. And jerry seinfeld dresses like a pederast, imo. can he sue me for saying that?

I think we may have also just elected the first gay president too.

Cult leader Obama is looking like a total slob lately.
