With the US presidential campaign having cost more than any other in the nation’s history, it is perhaps unsurprising that the two candidates left no stone unturned.

However, the Democratic candidate Barack Obama went one further then his rival John McCain – by throwing in his views on underwear for good measure.

Obama – who could be the first black president of the US when the votes are counted this week – appeared on an MTV show in which he answered viewers’ questions.

One asked about whether he agreed with passing laws on regulating clothing and the debate somehow descended into the realms of underwear and in particular, people who show it off by wearing their trousers slung low.

Obama said that while he intends to pass more important laws than one requiring people to dress well, he does think people should pull their pants up.

“You’re walking by your mother, your grandmother and your underwear’s showing, what’s going on with that? Walking down the street showing your underwear. A lot of people may not want to see your underwear. I’m one of them,” he said.

Obama may not wish to look too closely at photos taken of Katie Price recently, then.

The model was photographed last month wearing her underwear as outerwear on a night out.
