Could it be that he does not want to appear "disconnected" from the common man?

Those shoes look like they are from "Leather Soul" in Hawaii. Which makes sense since Obama is Hawaiian. I checked out this store when I was in Honolulu and the shoes were first class. High price point, but the removable heel piece was in most of their shoes.

he must really love those shoes..


I have been suspicious of that photo since I first saw it. It is almost certainly a set up.

His P.R. guy loves them more.

One would think he actually takes to the street to rub shoulders with the common man instead taking taxpayer funded vacations around the globe on Air Force One with his family and entourage. You know, like back in the day when he was working at only the real job he has ever held as a rabble-rouser for ACORN. Still not sure if he really roused the rabble or if he just stood in front of the local Wal-Mart with a clip board, but that is all water under the bridge now.

Pretty soon he will be working as hard as he can at his second real job pulling in $50-75k for telling a bunch of fat cats how lucky they are to be sharing their rubber chicken and peas with him while trying to figure out how to spend his high seven figure advance from his ghost written autobiography with details about his tough life on the streets attending elite private academies and universities on someone else's nickle. I heard he is going to call it: "When Royalty Lived in the White House".

I understand.

But, I really don't think you mean the the process by which people make collective decisions, you actually mean something else,

When I look at his shoes, I cannot help but look at the rest of his outfit which is very carefully arranged by very highly paid image consultants since the days when he dressed like this:





Could you help me understand how or why someone with an outfit that is carefully arranged and managed by image consultants would be wearing shoes of that nature? Please write freely.
