Do you think the POTUS wears cologne? Which one?
I bet his deodorant is unscented.

I imagine Romney smells like Aramis.   

I read some unconfirmed report that Michelle has extremely classy tastes and wears Creed so maybe Obama wears Creed, too.

Well, when I hung out with him, he smelled like White Diamonds.  Seriously, my partner and I volunteered for him here in KY and IN in 2008.  He did a rally here, where we volunteered as ushers to the VIP's.  At the end of the event, organizers told us to come to a back stage room.  We thought they just wanted to thank us for helping.  Senator Obama came in and surprised everyone.  He personally thanked all us volunteers, going down the line and saying a quick hello with a hand shake.  He had a nice smell, but I couldn't recognize the fragrance. 

Back in October 2000, President Clinton came to town to campaign for this Dem running for Congress.  It was held at a school.  The gym was filled, so they put us in a room where we could watch it on TV.  I was in this room with a bunch of high school students.  They told us Clinton wanted to meet with everyone who couldn't make it in.  Again, everyone was a high school student, except for me.  It turned out for the best that I didn't get into the main event.  They took us outside.  I forced my way to the front of the barricades.  I got to shake his hand.  Didn't get my pic with him, but I took a pic with one hand, while shaking his hand with the other.  I remember after he passed me, he asked some students whether everyone there was a student.  And, the Secret Service were really eyeing me, as I didn't fit in. 

Anyway, to the smell issue-- I remember meeting my partner outside and telling him how I shook his hand.  Jokingly, I smelled my hand.  It smelled like old man smell.  My hand reeked of old man smell.  I'm not sure what that was.  If that was him, he really puts off a smell.  Perhaps, it was a combination of all the teenage hands he shook before mine.  But, it reminded me of an old person's house.  Forgive my name dropping.  I am still kinda amazed I've gotten to shake hands with 2 presidents.  We drove down to Nashville on election night 2000.  We, again, made our way to the very front.  Our parents saw us on CNN.  Well, his family saw us on FOX.  We were hoping to shake Gore's hand that night, but he never came out.  The crowd was a little pissed he didn't come out to talk to us.  We had stood in the cold rain all night.  I think that said a lot about Gore.  He had a hard time connecting with people.  Obviously, he was busy watching the election being stolen from him.  But, he could have come out for 5 mins.  Or, could have sent Tipper out.

Gore creeped me out that way. Not surprised he didn't come out to shake hands. 

White Diamonds, huh!  I currently have a small atomiser of that in the bathroom by the toilet, along with the Pino Sylvestre and some Floris Malmaison. Its only the boys who will squirt that White Diamonds.....
