Barack Obama may well have had an impact on one of the least-pressing but most-discussed issues facing the Dallas city council: whether to pass an ordinance outlawing "saggy pants".

Anyway, deputy mayor pro tem Dwaine Caraway, an Obama supporter, has been the city’s leading proponent of the saggy pants ordinance.
