Obama Hits Favorite NYC Boutique (the Gap in Midtown)
New York Magazine ^ | 3/11 | Joe Coscarelli

Posted on 03/11/2014 2:19:21 PM PDT by nickcarraway

President Dad-Jeans #Normcore is in town this afternoon ahead of an exclusive $32,400-a-head fund-raiser, and he's spending the intervening hours as a man (from out of town) of the people. At the Gap. On 42nd Street.

Basically, Obama is channeling The Office's Michael Scott, who once said, "I always like to come to New York a little bit early and hit some of my favorite haunts," like Sbarro for "a New York slice."

According to the White House pool report, "President Obama is doing a little shopping for his wife and daughters." But also, politics:

In his State of the Union address, the President called for businesses to raise workers’ wages, and today the President will visit a Gap store to show his support for Gap Inc.’s decision to increase wages for their US based employees.

He reportedly spared the world more ill-fitting khakis:

Especially when he's shutting down 42nd Street at 5 p.m. because he wants a slice of crappy pizza and some new mom jeans. I'll bet everyone sitting in gridlock for the next few hours is wearing a smile!

We have degenerated into true third world dictator style now. His excellency calls up his cavalcade and off he goes for Pizza regardless of how much that may bother the little people.
