44's wardrobe passes the litmus test for a third term
Heads were scratched when George W. Bush rode to a second term in 2004. Despite Iraq, and despite having the linguistic capability of a GCSE creative writing class, the 43rd president clung onto another four years. That's because, allegedly, he was the man most voters would prefer to have a beer with: 57 percent of them according to a Zogby/Williams poll in the autumn of that year. And though his time in the White House is up, Barack Obama is still dressing the part of post-office beer buddy, too.
At Munich's Bits & Pretzels Founders Festival, number 44 opened proceedings in a suit that wouldn't look out of place on the campaign trail. Comfortable yet slimline suit, a quietly classic watch and, of course, no tie. Nobody can enjoy an exchange with their CEO in the boardroom. But at the pub, sans neckwear, he's just like you and I! Who'd have thought it?!
Or at least that's the intention. When Obama (and indeed, the small army of 2020 candidates) gets stuck in with the normal folk, it's sleeves up, tie off, smiles on. Normality is a much-valued commodity. When in such situations, the former president dresses like a natural in Normal Mode.
It serves as a stark contrast to Donald Trump. Whether in the White House, or headlining a rally in Wyoming, the current president rarely loses the billowing power suit. Trump never relaxes the code for one-on-one mode; the CEO is never dressed for Friday beers. Instead, 45 is usually stood aloft a crowd, businessman garb in full gear, the Eighties management hierarchy firmly in place.

Obama’s nostrils are lined with top grade cocaine..and that’s the only real difference here.
Body armor.
I want to know where that money came from. Why aren't we examining his tax returns?
FAG
my favorite pic of our ex worst lady. Can’t you just hear her saying “Hey-y”
The read-by-very-few magazine probably will go belly-up soon...and whole company will sell for less than a dollar, beating newsweak’s sell price.
Trump doesn’t need to dress up to be presidential. He could dress like a bum and still be more presidential than Obama. Being presidential is not about dressing to look good in front of the cameras.
Obama dressed up to hide his insecurities and lack of knowledge and lack of wisdom and lack of experience.
You’re right! Look at the soles of the shoes on those feet up on the desk in the Oval Office. They had holes in them. I remember showing my husband.
Worst president evah!
We’d like to see him in a spiffy orange suit with crisp black letter on the back.
“Every girl’s crazy bout a sharp dressed man.”
Not that that’s pertinent to the author OR Barry Soetoro.
This is Barky's style.
More idiotic pettiness...
And doesn’t know which end of the phone to speak into.
Because Trump is a worker not a fancy-dandy dresser that doesn’t do anything but admire themselves constantly.
Make that a stinky slob.

Some men just have a bearing about them and Donald Trump is one of those men. While the tabloids always referred to him as The Donald, most people seemed to refer to him as Mr. Trump. It never seemed haughty to me or fawning, but rather something about him that brought it out in people and made it natural. Maybe it was just that he was a famous billionaire, but I think not because we have found out and continue to see through his Presidency what an extraordinary man he is to be able to accomplish what he's doing in these circumstances. If you're going to call anyone Mr. such and such, it's this guy, only right now we gladly and proudly call him Mr. President.
