Is there anyone other than the fashionistas on Team Obama who thinks wearing a “windbreaker” in the Hawaiian Hawai’ian heat somehow makes him look more “presidential?”:

He hasn’t worn aloha shirts, either, instead favoring his customary casual wear: solid-color shirts and khaki pants. When he weighed in on the Russian-Georgian conflict, he added a black windbreaker despite the warmth. Every image counts for a presidential candidate, and his campaign handlers don’t want to give critics any photo fodder that could be used against him. Hence the choice of clothes that convey a look of authority even in casual mode. “He might not want to offer the opportunity to be classified as a beach party guy,” said Bernie Burson, a vice president of the Association of Image Consultants International who is based in Eugene, Ore. “A presidential candidate needs to convey at least some air of gravitas. We always tell clients, ‘If you want to look authoritative, you put on a jacket.’”

I guess the Obama fashion police missed the presidential flip-flops:

In this instance, the shoes are a perfect match for his policy positions.
