Obama left a button or two open on his shirt. The Internet is going nuts!

Scandalous!!!

Former president Barack Obama is in Italy on Tuesday, speaking at a summit about climate change. Wait, is it really getting hotter? Because Obama is sporting a button-down shirt with the top few buttons undone, and although it’s not a full-on Burt Reynolds, it’s certainly … summery. And relaxed.

The former POTUS is no doubt enjoying the more casual dress code of his post-presidency — and hey, it’s Italy, after all, the land of loafers and no socks.

The relaxed look certainly didn’t go unnoticed — it rivals the Leather Jacket Melee earlier this year for the biggest collective freakout over an Obama sartorial choice since the Great Tan Suit Incident of 2014.

Great Obama message on climate, but he's taken "casual post-presidency" one button too far https://t.co/k4se6UuAO9 pic.twitter.com/HfTioK6MI5

3. These don't sound like freaking out to me

I think he looks damn good! Almost as sexy as Biden. (I'm 68 so Biden is #1 in my book!) Obama is too young and probably too inexperienced for me.
