Interesting. GWB favored a light blue, supposedly to subconsciously mitigate the idea that he was brash and overly warlike. Maybe Obama's red tie is supposed to communicate that despite his liberalism, he will be strong.

Paired with a navy suit and a white shirt, it replicates the colours of the American flag.

That tie looks much better on Obama than does the light blue. It's better for his coloring, and it adds power to someone whose physical features don't suggest much dominance.

I keep seeing a black/dark navy with white spots on him.Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
I don't know which color he actually wears the most, but for some reason this is the tie (and the look) I most associate with him. I think it's pretty flattering.

I think he was wearing a black suit either yesterday or the day before. Guess he doesn't read this forum.

I agree. After the white tie fiasco, some on here are probably looking for a new country.
