Suits in Politics - Obama

From my log files I notice a lot of people are interested in the suits Medvedev is wearing. A lot of search strings are related to finding out who his tailor is.
I myself do not know who his tailor is, if anyone does know, let me know!

Now for Obama's suits: A lot of been written about his suits in the last few years (Five suits, Tom Ford on Obama, Flusser and David Letterman, Flusser on Obama's tux, Hartmarx, Hartmarx files banktrupcy).
But here is an article from Vanity Fair regarding Obama that interest me the most: A Tailor Suited for President Obama.

This article covers Georges de Paris, a famous tailor for various world leaders.
Prices start around 3500 USD MTM. De Paris: “Madame, my suits is not by glue.”

Check out the horrible sloping shoulders on this suit, and also notice the 'roll' in the collar due to incorrect cutting. It looks like his bodyguard is a better dresser...
