Oct 2013

I notice that the President rarely wears sunglasses. I think it's because he wants people to see his face and shades tend to hide the face. (Why celebrities always wear them!) I read once that President Kennedy refused to wear sunglasses when he was giving speeches or shaking hands because he felt they covered him up too much.

Thanks for posting!
