Cute.

Ain't it interesting how only the GOP Presidents seem to be concerned with and courteous to "the little people"...???

[McGavin999]

He does great work, those suits our president wears are perfect.

[Coleus]

Clinton was too in love with himself to speak to a tailor, now you know what he thought about the common working man--nothing.

I didn't realize that this was a very dated piece and you can pull if you'd like.

Last year, he [Bush]told Rep. Jim Ramstad (R) of Minnesota during a meeting at the White House that he “should see my tailor, who works around the corner.” Ramstad did and bought a dark blue cashmere suit, which drew compliments from colleagues on the House floor.

Pardon my asking, but how in the heck can representatives manage to afford a $2000-$3000 suit on their salaries??? Someone in the know once told me it's all a question of POWER in DC and I'm beginning to believe him.

The truth it tells about character is timeless.

“Clinton was very demanding, cold and always occupied,” he said. “He was unaware of me completely.”

There probably wasn't a camera anywhere nearby.

Pull a thread on the president's suits? Non! Non!

[Ronin]

Not at all. Democrats are only interested in victims they can pander to for votes or manipulate as they see fit.

Genuine success stories frighten them. Especially the real rags-to-riches kind because they invalidate the liberal's concept of the universe.

[John Beresford Tipton]

It's not dated,
merely has that "retro look"

Wake up and smell the coffee. Some years ago it was calculated that the salary and BENEFITS of an average Congressman was worth $1 million per year. The salary itself is pretty hefty but the benefits are incredible. No one gets similar benefits in industry.

[Humidston]

Sheesh! Nice work if you can get it.

[Incorrigible]

State of the Union address:

Inauguration:

 

Like Reagan and GW, I'm a stickler for quality fabric.  I used to go to a factory sale twice a year where suits were made in Elizabeth, NJ.  I would get them professionally tailored and looked good for a fraction of what you'd pay at Nordstroms for the same suit. But the factory closed down and the need for suits at work has waned.

 I've always wanted to get a custom made suit but my disposable income just isn't there for that type of luxury.  When I'm CEO, I'm sure I'll splurge!

Im shocked that clinton did not fire the white house tailor staff and bring in all his flunkies Ala the travel office

[hole_n_one]

Nicely done!

“Clinton was very demanding, cold and always occupied,” he said. “He was unaware of me completely.”

He should consider himself lucky.

Those who clinton was aware of ended up either raped, used and discarded, or dead.

Thanks for the post. Interesting and not dated unless this guy has left the White House position since then.
