Politcal powers...and spouse 2

OK, so there's no cooler couple than the Sarkozys...among Heads of State. However, come Nov. 4 (perhaps the wee hours of Nov. 5) A new champion will be crowned. By far the most electric, make-you-get-off-your-lazy-ass-and-vote, former community organizer, Change-banner wielding man in my era, Barack Obama will take the torch as the best dressed Head of State. He's got Malcolm X's commanding presence, tall, lean and oozing confidence. The can't-sit-in-your-chair--got-to-stand-the-fuck-up-because-of-the-stirring-oration-skills of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the gentlemanliness and elegance of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. In short, a perfect package. Dark two-button suits, lots of light blue ties, a black chronograph (I read it could be a Tag) and a swagger. I know style and Capitol Hill are about as close as Newt and Hillary, so there's a lot he can't do. Tom Ford said he'd trim down Barack's suit, I'd be all for it if he wasn't running for POTUS. Somehow, American's don't want their presidents to be too stylish or care too much about their image or be too analytical and intelligent (GWB). I agree with the ever stylish Mr. Ford in pricinple, but for this election, barack's on top of things.
Now for his wife, Michelle Obama. Check on this website, http://thakoon.com/ she does lots of Thakoon (watch the DNC on Youtube and see). She commands crowds Cindy McCain couldn't imagine and looks great doing it.

Political powers...and spouses




Does anyone look better than the Sarkozys? The French President Nicolas Sarkozy pretty much stays with dark, three-button suits, pale French cuff shirts and dark ties. And guess what? There's no Head of State that pulls it together better. Mr. Bush should take a tip from his French counterpart on where jacket sleeves should end. "Props" to the man who wore a lavender shirt to the UN General Assembly. What Sarkozy was possibly thinking: "I know I'm short, but my poll numbers are climbing and take a look a my wife." Nuff said.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is equally stunning in flats and gobs of Dior (she already towers over her husband, heels just woulnd't help anyone). Even casual, the two make a fierce couple. Why? Fit. Everything looks good on them. Sarkozy's poll numbers would probably double if it was style alone. Here, take a look at what The Cut had to say about them (and some pics)
