Obama can't wait to wear mom jeans after he leaves the White House
President Barack Obama is feeling a little unanchored as he prepares to leave the White House. To get better prepared for life after 1600 Pennsylvania, he has decided to seek some advice.
What he comes away with: Leaving office isn't so bad if you get to sport rocking aviators like Vice President Joe Biden and go back to wearing mom jeans. And drink beer at 11:30 a.m.

An aviator-polishing Biden reminds him of the perks of getting out of the White House: He gets to drive again, he could coach a sports team! And sappy John Boehner, former speaker of the House, also shares a silver lining or two as the pair watch Toy Story in the White House theater.
"Yesterday, I had a beer at 11:30 in the morning and you know, McDonald's now serves breakfast all day long," Boehner says after wiping away tears for Woody and Buzz.
"I can wear my mom jeans in peace."
"I can wear my mom jeans in peace," Obama exclaims. "I hate these tight jeans."
Obama didn't focus only on himself at his final nerd prom. He also took digs at the field of presidential hopefuls. Especially at Donald Trump.
The GOP front-runner, who is a regular at the Washington insider-celebrity lovefest and a common butt of Obama's jokes, was absent this year.
"Is he at home eating a Trump steak?" Obama asked. "Tweeting out insults to Angela Merkel? What's he doing?"
He even not-so-subtly blamed the media for Trump's ascent during the primary season.
"From the start, he's gotten the appropriate amount of coverage befitting the seriousness of his candidacy. I hope you all are proud of yourselves," he said to the journalists in the Washington Hilton ballroom. "The guy wanted to give his hotel business a boost and now we're praying that Cleveland makes it through July."
Cleveland is hosting the Republican National Committee convention in July, and it's expected to get heated.
And of course, Obama went out with the mother of all mic drops.
