Just a WAG on my part, but I’m guessing that the president’s jacket has bullet resistant properties.

Barack said he doesn’t like Guava Beer.

Those must be the 11 male prostitutes he refused to pay.

Hubby, who is as manly as you can get, has several. I always tell him he looks like a dentista. Lol

Not surprised. The group shot of the national leaders in local dress is also a feature of the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Conference) too.

For the US hosted 2011 summit in Honolulu, he decided that local dress was "the business suit" (in Hawaii!)

If he's not in a suit, he doesn't really believe he looks Presidental. And he's eight - without a suit, he's not a mature leader, he's still little Barry Soetoro

(OK: I orginally meant to type "And he's right", but working out a justification for the misprint seemed more amusing)

In that picture, Obama’s Mother looks like Paul McCartney in drag.
