Sports "Go, Go, Go, GOAL"

Posted by Eli Sanders on Sat, May 16, 2009 at 5:50 PM

So shouted the soccer-dad-in-chief this morning, after Sasha Obama, 7, set up a point for her soccer team. But don't spend too long on this charming photo and the glories of having a president who attends his kids' soccer games in nerdy jeans. The Sounders are playing right now. Go watch. (TV details below.) Hopefully we'll all have a chance to shout the above, too.

Yes, yes they are.

We went from Wranglers to nerdy jeans. I'll take it.

Those would have been sorta cool ten years ago. I expected to see something like my own dad wears - 60-year-old guy nerdy jeans. Those are WAY less nerdy than I expected. More outdated than nerdy.

I love it that our president is...um, human.

I don't know about nerdy, but it's a skinny guy wearing fat pants.

Posted by Mahtli69 on May 16, 2009 at 10:34 PM

Wow. I still can't believe that that guy's our president. In the best way possible.

Someday soon you dimwits will grow up and realize you don't have any jobs.

Then will you be printing happy-go-lucky photos of our sadly unqualified President?

Nerdy jeans? They're jeans! Who gives a shit!

Posted by bhowie on May 17, 2009 at 12:57 AM

Where the hell is the secret service?!?! Did they check the woods behind him for rednecks with guns? DID THEY?

I still wish he'd live in a bunker.

But he is adorable, though.

I think those jeans are hot, even hotter if he could see him from the back considering they are all tucked in and stuff. Uh, yeah.

Posted by NumberOne on May 17, 2009 at 8:25 AM

@ 16 WE, obviously not he.

Posted by NumberOne on May 17, 2009 at 8:25 AM

@13: he's also apparently a West Ham fan, or so West Ham fans claim.

Posted by Abby on May 17, 2009 at 10:27 AM

I think it generally pisses right wingers off that we love him so much, so keep on keepin on with these posts.

Posted by mAlissa on May 17, 2009 at 11:17 AM

Skinny jeans and tight American Apparel shirt don't let you wear body armor inconspicuously. That's my guess anyhow. And he's old.

Posted by Rob T on May 17, 2009 at 11:36 AM
