We had to laugh when we saw all the social media buzz about former President Barack Obama vacationing wearing slippers and a backward hat!

Seriously? First off, those aren’t flip-flops, everyone in the Islands knows they are slippers. And Obama was born and raised here in the Islands, so he knows to wear a hat when he’s outside.

Here are some of our favorite reactions from the world of social media:

In 8 more years, Obama's gonna add socks to his sandals. I'll be watching for it.

Politics aside – there's maybe one person on the planet who looks cooler than Obama does in a backwards hat and that's Ken Griffey Jr.

Hey, after eight years in the spotlight for far more serious things, it’s nice to see this former resident catching a break.
