Does Obama wear pastel-colored ties too much?

[Unsane]

Yes or no?

[Drunken Irishman]

1. You can never get too much of pastel-colored ties!

[Unsane]

2. Fair enough.

I'd appreciate the occasional strong dark colored tie with a design, though. Perhaps even a blue shirt.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. I just like brighter colors.

I think they look good on him.

15. It's one of the few race differences that seem actually true...

...black people can pull off wearing pastel colored ties and white people can't. They can also pull off wearing shirts and ties of the same color. And bald heads. I don't know what it is.

(Yes, I'm largely kidding, though I've never seen a caucasian who looked good in either outfit I'm describing, though some bald white guys look good.)

19. I want one of those buttons.... Are they for real?

[Bicoastal]

3. That DOES it!

He's lost my vote. :P

[Unsane]

4. lol

[JDPriestly]

6. He is so good looking. Who cares?

And I'm not even voting for him, so it can't possibly make a difference.

All of our candidates look great.

Hillary has improved her look significantly. Obama always looks good. Neither of them needs to apologize on that account as far as I'm concerned.

And of course, my guy, John Edwards, is the best dressed of them all. I think that's great. But I would still vote for him even if he were not.

18. Yes, correct!

All the Dem candidates look stunning.

7. Sorry, his ties are Foine!

[Unsane]

8. Is that the designer?

Would you appreciate the occasional classic kind instead? Like a darker one with a pattern, etc?

[FrenchieCat]

10. No.....Foine means "fine" in exuberant!

9. does Hillary use too much botox?

[TexasObserver]

13. Whoever did the work on her face did a great job.

They really did do an amazing job in getting rid of her jowls, removing the saddlebags under the eyes, and creating a more pleasing smile.

16. She has been looking gorgeous lately. I gotta give it to her. nt

[Jamastiene]

11. Of all the things about him to have a problem with,

that is not on my list at all. He dresses nicely. Definitely, all of our candidates dress nicely.

Of course, he could always break out some old school tie with a neon 80s motif and totally rock it. That'd be fun. I guess. :eyes:

12. there was an article about this!

today, I believe it came over the AP. He is choosing pastel ties and the particular knot he is using to appeal to under-30 voters. No kidding!

[Recursion]

14. As an at-30 voter, I love the pastel ties

When I see red-and-blue diagonally striped ties, I do instinctively associate them with the CTO's and CIO's whose mistakes I've repeatedly had to clean up as a sysadmin. I didn't know the AP wrote a piece on it, but I've specifically noticed the ties before and liked it, because I "get" exactly the message he's sending with them.

17. Have you seen Mitt Romney?

The man dresses like some kind of CTO zombie robot.

20. I have to say

I DO enjoy Obama's taste in neckties
