Barack’s Fashion Invasion

The day has finally come when American politics have their say in the fashion world.
Barack Obama placed the runway and the guests seated around it inside a cage. Yet even without the bars, his audience would have been captive.
Not only is it his moment, it is a level of influence and power for a president that is literally unprecedented from any time since the New Deal and Franklin Roosevelt. If he handles it right, it could be his century.
It's as though he takes a perverse delight in watching onlookers struggle to decipher her unpredictable collections.
Many changes have taken place in the fashion world since the 60s. The sexual revolution showed us he effects of fashion on the people.
It was seen as a sign of women's freedom to dress as they pleased. What we're seeing today is just an extension of that, as the government unleashes their own style upon the nation. And as Barack go low cut, so do the masses.
I do think we are Barack obsessed. It does seem as though one of the manifestations of that is to imitate politicians. They’re got us wearing their clothes; soon we’ll b thinking the same way.
I cannot in my memory remember a time when a president of the United States has had more influence.
