"You&amp;#x27;d think when your husband is busy solving a global financial crisis, trying to broker peace in the Middle East, and you know, being the leader of the free world, he wouldn&amp;#x27;t have time to notice what you&amp;#x27;re wearing. Think again. It turns out President Obama is as bad as any husband when it comes to giving his wife the business about her wardrobe. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the First Lady says that her husband notices everything, and isn&amp;#x27;t shy about weighing in on it. &amp;quot;In fact, she has learned not to wear a certain gray metallic belt when the president is around,&amp;quot; the article says. &amp;quot;&amp;#x27;Barack calls it my &amp;quot;Star Trek&amp;quot; belt,&amp;amp;#8221; the first lady said in an interview this week. &amp;#x27;He doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t understand fashion.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; (We hate to say we agree, Michelle, but we haven&amp;#x27;t always been the biggest fans of his casual-wear choices, either!) Mrs. Obama goes on to say that the President also suffers from that distinctly male condition that renders him unable to understand our collective female need to shop. &amp;quot;He&amp;amp;#8217;s always asking: &amp;amp;#8216;Is that new? I haven&amp;amp;#8217;t seen that before.&amp;amp;#8217; It&amp;amp;#8217;s like, Why don&amp;amp;#8217;t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet.&amp;amp;#8221; She teasingly imitated him: &amp;amp;#8220;You didn&amp;amp;#8217;t need any more shoes. The shoes you had on yesterday were fine. Why can&amp;amp;#8217;t you just wear that for the rest of the presidency?&amp;amp;#8221; Oh, Mr. President. Don&amp;#x27;t you know that your wife is one of the most watched women in fashion, and if she dared to wear the same shoes for the rest of the presidency, a handful of style reporters (yours truly included) would be spilling not only endless ink, but tears, over the loss of a great fashion icon? Isn&amp;#x27;t it unbelievably humanizing to see the First Family having the same little shopping spats as you and yours? Does your boyfriend have a hard time comprehending your purchases the way the president does? Does he not &amp;quot;get fashion&amp;quot; either? Share!
