‘Brothers Should Pull Up Their Pants’

  • 11/3/08 at 4:27 PM

"Here is my attitude. I think people passing a law against people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time. We should be focused on creating jobs, improving our schools, health care, dealing with the war in Iraq, and anybody, any public official, that is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time focusing on real problems out there. Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants … you know, some people might not want to see your underwear — I'm one of them." —Barack Obama, on proposed bans on sagging pants. [MTV via Cut]
