OBAMA’S NEW LOOK: It’s been 15 years since
President-elect Barack Obama has bought a new tux —
and his
inauguration is the perfect time to break that string. Obama, who during the
campaign touted U.S. competitiveness and decried the plight of the American
worker, plans to wear a union-made tuxedo by Hart Schaffner Marx to the
inaugural balls on Jan. 20, said Bruce Raynor, general
president of UNITE HERE, the main apparel union, which endorsed Obama early in
the primary season.
