Of course we all wear underwear owned by us, but would you wear underwear screen-printed as a tribute to you? Obama reportedly won't, even if it's free. Of course, I imagine Obama can afford the underwear of his choice at this point. This is a clip from Mike Allen's Playbook on Politico.com:
FOR ROBERT GIBBS’ BOOK, from the N.Y. Daily News: “A trendy underwear designer started selling Barack Obama boxer-briefs Thursday, promising to donate $1 from each $29 sale to the Democrat's coffers. The slim-fit undies by Andrew Christian sport a Che Guevaraesque silhouette of the senator's face on the front and the numbers '08 on the back. ‘I'm not sure I'd wear those even underneath my clothes,’ Obama's communications director, Robert Gibbs, said when shown a photo of the skivvies. ‘Wow!’ he added, taking a moment to chuckle. ‘Those are virtually indescribable. They're probably really hip and expensive.’ The designer mailed a package of complimentary unmentionables to Obama - so the Daily News asked if he would wear them. ‘No!’ Gibbs replied quickly. ‘That would be really weird.’
