Suits you, Mr. President

Desigher Tom Ford is living the the dream.

When he's not posing with a naked Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley for a Vanity Fair cover, he's measuring the thigh length of Daniel Craig for the new James Bond tuxedo.

But there's one final target in his sights. Some spiffy designer wear for a certain would-be White House occupant.

Here's Ford on Barack Obama:

I think he's a great-looking guy but I think his suits don't fit him very well...

I wouldn't mind dressing Obama. I wouldn't say he's badly dressed, but he could sharpen up his look a little better.

Which begs the question, who's bidding to sharpen up Hillary's pantsuits? Anyone? Anyone...

A few observations:

- Hillary's pantsuites have got to go. No question.

- Obama looks just right for what he's doing. You don't want him perfectly tailored. If you dressed him too well he'd become unelectable.

- I don't think that hanging out with a naked Scarlett is as exiting for Tom Ford as it would be for you or me, Danny. Daniel Craig's thigh may be a different matter. As for Keira, she's a sack of bones. Give me Scarlett any day.

Speaking of suits, those wide lapels on Tom Ford's suit do not look great. He might think they're the now thing -- and indeed he may be in a position to dictate what the now thing is -- but they just don't look great.
