Do you think Ronnie was already into the throes of dementia when he agreed to wear that shirt for the photo-op?

Let me clue you in: That's what is called a "photo op." Frankly, I'm surprised Mommy (Nancy), gave Ronnie permission to use a chainsaw.

Photo op or not, given the time frame that photo could have been taken that is not a "dress shirt" in any way, shape or form.

The shirt is western-style, but it's a dress-y shirt nevertheless. Colors like that are commonly worn in California.

What would be an example of the least that you know, beyond what you discuss on this forum?

Yep.

May I also add that my declaration that 95% of the population looks absolutely ridiculous in blue jeans definitely applies to politicians. Probably more like 99%. That's another thing Obama understands. I don't know that I've ever seen him in jeans. I'm sure he's worn them at some point, but he at least has the sense to know that you don't want to look like Mitt in mom jeans or any of these other numbskulls. Come to think of it, I think McCain was smart enough to stay away from them, too.

I'm sure he was about as mentally stable as Obama was when he agreed to do this photo op in his $700 shoes, slacks and white dress shirt.

I've seen many guys in suits doing groundbreakings. Hardly unique. Obama looks good in those types of clothes, so he wears them. Read the post above to understand why that's a good idea, as opposed to these fools who try to look "casual."

Maybe Regan isn't the only person who's had to deal with dementia.

Ah ok, so this is really all based on your personal opinions which are based on your irrational hate of certain politicians. I thought for a minute that you were actually speaking with some substance, had I know that this would turn into a "I just don't like him" conversation I probably wouldn't have jumped in.
