Barack and Michelle fashion shocker: 17-year-old underpants
By DEREK CLONTZ
Your World Report
President Barack and first lady Michelle Obama were dressed to
the nines when he took his oath of office on January 20. But beneath
the fancy designer threads they were wearing something considerably less
distinguished - the very same “lucky underpants” they sported on their wedding
day 17 long years ago, on Oct. 18, 1992.
That’s the word from a close friend of the couple, who said the Obamas have worn
the white “jockey-style “briefs (him) and white cotton panties (her)
“probably 20 times over the years, when their daughters were born, on all of their
interviews for jobs, on election nights and, of course, on their anniversaries.
“They make no secret of it among friends, and I don’t think they’ll mind
letting the American public in on their little ‘ritual’ either. Some might think
it’s a silly thing, but it’s one of the ways Barack and Michelle show their
solidarity as a couple.
“When they pull out the lucky undies, they’re a team like no other. They wink
at each other in public when they’re wearing them, as if to say, ‘You and me,
baby - we’ve got the power!’
“And you’ve got to admit, to some extent, their lives together have been
charmed. In just a few short years they’ve gone from a middle-class couple to the
most powerful man and woman in the world.
“Did their lucky underwear have anything to do with that? Who knows?
“But I will tell you this, with the U.S. and world economies in a tailspin, with
everybody needing a new financial deal and greater opportunities for themselves and their
children, I, personally, am thrilled that Barack and Michelle are leading the way.
“If their lucky underwear will help, I’m all for it. We need all the help
they can get.”
