What will Barack Obama do for the fashion industry?
Kathleen asked:
I am wondering what Barack Obama will do for the fashion industry specifically. I have heard a bit of news from WWD about him helping out the textile industry in China, so can I get an understandable, fluent outline of what Obama will do for both the fashion and textile industry? Thanks.

There are also various other articles about Obama endorsing the fashion industry.

We will all be comrades under comrade obamas socialist rule. Our clothes will all be free shapeless grey baggy things procurred at the collectives obama republics outlet store. The lines will be huge, but the price is right.

Well, I hope his wife Michelle has nothing to do with the fashion industry because she has poor taste.

in the words of dee: yawwwnnnnnnnnnnn

nothing – Michelle will try and set a fashion standard but her style is so ugly it won’t catch on.

What has any president done for the fashion industry?

He’ll wear very nice suits,so I guess thats advertising.lololol

Probably nothing. There are a lot more important things to accomplish than clothes.

Obama will limit the amount of money other political candidates can spend on their fashion. As Letterman put it, Sarah Palin thinks NAFTA stands for “Need Another Fifty Thousand for Accessories.”

Nothing.
hes going to be president of the United States.
Although, the shirts with his face on them are starting to get kinda creepy

There are more important issues that Obama will take care of.

It won’t matter because if people do not have jobs, they won’t be spending money on clothes, which is currently happening. Money will be spent on essentials.

Free trade vs. fair trade is an ideological question that will be a challenge for the new administration. Lots of countries’ textile industries were destroyed when curbs came off China’s industry a few years ago.
He’ll be focusing on domestic economy first, and primarily looking to keep jobs in the U.S. I wouldn’t expect to see much happen in textiles globally for at least the next two years.
The true patriot is an informed voter.

Umm…hopefully he wont be focusing on the fashion industry.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Oh my God! People stop spreading rumors about him!
June 29th, 2009 at 5:29 am
Hopefully nothing. There are way more important things on this earth than fashion. This world would not suffer a bit if fashion fell off the face of the oplanet. Some people would have to get new jobs, but the world would be better off without it.

huh? …. what does this even mean?
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:37 pm
really who cares what he does with China—us as AMERICANS need to buy MADE IN THE USA now…we did before and we need to again–shhhiiit our products are better quality anyways…I’ll pay a little more for quality than cheap quantity anyways China’s products all are poisoned.
