You have to admit, President Obama looks rather dapper in this thing, no? So dapper, in fact, that wearing it has set off a wave of what Brian Williams called "jacket envy" on a recent episode of Rock Center. Yep, governors, mayors and other elected officials are all doing their best to impersonate the president's covetable jacket, wearing fleeces and parkas and windbreakers with their own official seals to try and keep up.
