Thanks for the photos, dmd25.
Gangsta wanna be. He can't even do that right. All around poseur.
I agree with you on this photo of OUR president. He looks terrific.
These photos remind us that there are people who would hold office with class and dignity. Hopefully, in 2012 we will again elect a true patriot for President and dump the slob we have now.
Amen.

Hong Kong - Former US president George W Bush stocked up his wardrobe, buying 18 suits on a whirlwind visit to Hong Kong, a celebrity tailor said Sunday.
Bush called on the famous Sam's Tailor shop in Tsim Sha Tsui and ordered the suits along with sports jackets and other items, tailor Manu Melwani said.
Bush was in Hong Kong for a six-hour stopover Friday on his way from a speaking engagement in Shanghai back home to the US. He also met with family friend, former Hong Kong leader Tung Chee-hwa.
Melwani, whose other celebrity customers include Tony Blair, Prince Charles and Bush's father George HW Bush, told the German News Agency dpa: "Mr Bush is a very nice man and he seems in excellent health.
"I have made suits for him before so we had his measurements, but this was the first time he had been into our shop in Hong Kong to place an order."
Melwani is to send the suits to Bush by post after his team of 50 tailors have completed his order in the next week.
Thank you very much for the links, DrDeb! ;)
THANK YOU for the news from Hong Kong:
“Mr Bush is a very nice man and he seems in excellent health.” — I couldn’t agree more on both counts!

There are going to be lots of people eating crow regarding GWB in the years to come. We, instead, will have to try to retain our manners and not say "I told you so" too often.
"I miss the swaggering cowboy. He may have been tongue-tied; he may have screwed up with an errant backrub, but the didn’t bow to royalty, he didn’t give embarrassing gifts to allies, he didn’t show the Dalai Lama the back door. He never said to a visiting ally (paraphrased) “I’m gonna go have dinner with Laura, and if you decide to obey me, I’ll be around.”
He didn’t shove his finger in the face of another country’s prime minister.
But he was considered the boor."
