I don’t think that matters, it is all in his brain.

He is just a verbal conduit.

Wouldn’t be surprised he is on speed dial on the blackberry though.

Too bad Eliott Spitzer and Anthony Weiner couldn’t suggest some other folks for O to fly into the White House. Also Bubbalicious Bill Clinton could also impart with some wisdom. Forget Monica —if Sista Michelle caught Monica in the oval office Sistah would wipe the walls, floors and ceiling with her fat butt.

Dude flies someone in for what he could practically do himself?

That ain’t no hairstyle that’s some easy electric shear work and can’t take more than 5 minutes.

Maybe the stylist is coloring Barry’s hair gray to give him a distinguished look?

Milton Pitts (4 July 1912 – 25 December 1994) was the White House barber for Republican U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush.

While Pitts was a staunch Republican, he always maintained that “my scissors are neither Republican nor Democrat,” and he counted Democratic Senator George McGovern among his clients.[1][2] Democratic President Jimmy Carter did not use Pitts, though, and instead brought in two hairstylists, Yves and Nancy Graux. President Reagan’s Chief of Staff James Baker dismissed them in July 1982 and Pitts again became the sole White House barber.[3]

During his years in the White House, Pitts won acclaim as “Washington’s most famous barber.” He appeared on Late Night with David Letterman on May 24, 1982.[4] His twentieth anniversary celebration in 1985 was attended by numerous dignitaries including President Reagan, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of State George Shultz and Attorney General Edwin Meese.[5][6]

Pitts regularly gave his clients advice, both fashion and political, and was well-known for speaking frankly: he once “suggested that Richard Nixon do something about his nose and told Gerald Ford his ties were too loud.”[7] When President Bill Clinton received a $200 haircut from the Beverly Hills stylist Christophe, Pitts criticized Clinton and said the price amounted to “showmanship” on the part of the barber.[8] In the years after he left the White House, Pitts typically charged $25 for a haircut at his shop in the Sheraton-Carlton Hotel.[1][9]

Me too. Spent $19.95 on a wahl home hair cut kit. Haven’t been to a barber since.

Maybe we mistook Reggie Love as Obammy’s squeeze. Perhaps it’s the barber instead. Probably shaves his bikini line as a prelude to sex.

I’m sure the President could get a good haircut at Fort Meade, or Marine Corps Base Quantico and save us all some money...

OK, so it costs $300 to fly coach from Chicago to DC.

The barber will need a taxi, meals and perhaps a night stay at a hotel, so add another $300 or $400.

Obama’s hair cuts cost about $600.

Flying from Chicago to Washington DC produces 50,000 pounds of carbon emissions.

Obama also flies out his personal trainer from Chicago.

Must be nice to be king.

“A #1 setting on a pair of standard clippers will do the job without mistake”

Exactly what I did about an hour ago.

You forgot the cost of the cut itself.

Maybe the haircut also comes with a ‘blowout’?

“Flo-Bee? I used one for 16 years then switched vacuum systems and now go to a regular barber.”

I’ve been using one for about 20 years. When I have to get a new vacuum I make sure it accommodates the Flo-Bee.

it must be getting pretty long

Lets just say I get my money's worth when I do go to the barber.

I guess I'm lucky, my brother is 5 years younger and finally just shaved his head. ...which is not a bad thing for Texas summers.
