Desperate Obama brings out the leather bomber jacket with the presidential seal

Strategic props won't save Barack Obama. 

Today President Obama hit the campaign trail for one of the last times, returning to the battleground state of Wisconsin to address a crowd of supporters while wearing his leather bomber jacket...

Wait, what? Leather bomber jacket? Yup, you heard right. The "aviator jacket," as the White House pool report dubbed it, has made yet another rare appearance on the back of the president. Obama doesn't wear the jacket, which features the presidential seal on the chest, very often; the last time we recall seeing POTUS in the edgy item was December 2010, at which time NYMag.com remarked that the jacket seemed like a strategic prop meant to recall "Obama's predecessor and Dubya's superiority in the rough-and-tumble department."

Here is an image of another presidential candidate who tried to look cool.
