Mocking her shoes, his hair, etc. is problematic because there are so many legitimate issues, why go with a substanceless attack? If you didn't like Obama catching heat for wearing a tan suit, or eating Dijon mustard on his hamburger, don't do the same thing. Leave politics to people who have actual, deeply-held political opinions and let's have a marketplace of policy ideas that rewards demonstrable merit.

And, no, that doesn't mean we disregard our nation's history and traditions of expecting exemplary moral character and a steady hand, in performing the nation's arguably most important job, in terms of influence and example-setting.
