Look: it’s me and mini-me! Ok, actually, it’s Barack Obama and Senegal’s President Macky Sall, in matching outfits, from the light blue ties and white shirts down to the two-button suits. Message: great minds think alike. Or at least think that they ought to dress like their guest (who is known for dressing like this) to make him think great minds think alike.
Think we will see more of this over the next few days, as the US president moves on to South Africa and Tanzania? I think it will be interesting to see. But speaking generally, I do think it’s a political trend to dress like one’s negotiating partner. It makes breaking the ice so easy: just say, “I like your suit.”

Woow!This is funny/interesting..Lakini hawakuvaa 'sare' kwenye suala la Ushoga.Rais Macky alimmwambia LIVE Rais Obama-"Suala hili(Ushoga) halikubaliki nchini Senegal..."Hon.President Kikwete stand on your feet and make a right decision regarding this issue;that is the so-called Ushoga.

ReplyDeleteSasa je huyo Mhe. Raisi wa Senegal angefahamu vipi kama Mgeni wake Raisi Obama atavaa Tai ya rangi ya Maji ya bahari ili yeye avae hiyo Nyekundu?
