President Obama isn't exactly an adventurous dresser -- think black suits, dad jeans and the rare leather jacket.
But every so often, POTUS loosens up and tries some funkier styles in the name of diplomacy. Exhibit A: That Time In Indonesia.
Exhibit B: today's visit to Cambodia, where the president hung out with
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Australia's Prime Minister Julia
Gillard and other world leaders. There to attend the East Asia Summit,
President Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to ever visit Cambodia... which also makes him the first sitting U.S. president to don a batik shirt in Cambodia.
According to the White House pool report, "All the leaders were
kitted out in Batik shirts. The president was modelling a sleek gray
one." And by "sleek," we assume they meant "really, really fitted."
Check out Obama grinning in his shirt next Prime Minster Hun Sen and
the Sultan of Brunei. Is it just us or does this group look like they
got lost on the way to a "That '70s Show" casting call?
Werk it, POTUS.
