The president is being featured again on the October 15th issue of Rolling Stone magazine. No, I’m not saying he’s being featured again on October 15th, but that once again, and for the third time, President Obama will be on the cover of the music magazine, and it just so happens that this, the third time (is a charm) will fall on October 15th. Wouldn’t want you to be confused. Never. Never ever.

Phew.

I do what I can, folks. I do what I can.

In said feature, Mr. Obama talks energy reform, financial reform, health care reform, and–wait for it– his own personal men’s hosiery (a.k.a., “sock”) reform. In short, the president has sock envy. Does that warrant a call on the “Bat phone” or something? No?

Seems the prez no likey the standard black sock in his everyday suit attire. Upon sitting down to the interview with Rolling Stone’s editor and publisher Jann Wenner, Obama couldn’t help but notice the multi-colored striped socks the interviewer was donning. He said simply, “If I wasn’t the president, I could wear socks like that.”

Now that just makes me sad. Kim Jong-Il is wearing pajamas to “work” everyday while our president is stuck in a self-mandated fashion rut. And for what? To impress the likes of French president Nicolas Sarkozy? Well, he’s married to model/actress Carla Bruni. Surely her flare for fashion has rubbed off on her hubs? Besides, everyone knows those Europeans are far more liberal with their style than the rest of us.

Maybe it’s time for you to cut yourself a break on this one, and I’d like to help get you started. Mr. President, I would like to buy you a pair of socks.

Folks, I need your help. See, I do have a penchant and closet desire for wild and crazy socks the likes of these from The Joy of Socks (reminds me of some book title back when I was schlepping hard covers in a book store…Funny.):

I’m fully aware that this may be taking the commander-in-chief a bit too far all at once. He needs to pace himself.

So what do you think? Argyle?

A little too Elton John, huh?

These are a sort of festive, though:

… And a little Christmas-year-round.

I’m also cognizant of the fact that these are women’s socks, but fellas, don’t let that stop you.

Clearly, I need a little input, folks, and you’re just the sort to help a girl out. So, what kind of socks should I buy the president? He said he’s got a hankering for something multi-colored, but that should be tempered (a bit) with the stature of the office he holds. Oh, who am I kidding? Let’s just get him what we want!

Here’s the gist: I need to you to comment below, voting for striped, argyle, or polka-dotted men’s socks. Once a style has been chosen, we can get to the business of color scheme, etc. This is for a good cause, Peeps, so let us step up to the plate. Our president needs us. Our COUNTRY needs us. Because while we can’t all agree on whether or not health care reform is a good thing, we can come together on matters of (slightly) less importance.
