Here's an article from the Times-Picayune titled "Pres. Bush's fashion legacy: the blue-tie president." The_blue tie_president Cebe's comment at the end makes sense.

I think he looks good in those ties

Is that really a royal blue? That was a very popular color for the last several years on news anchors and their political talking heads, even local newsmen and sportscasters wore them. Now I see the Duchamp tie look is starting to become trendy.

And I thought Hillary wore pants suits, not skirts?

I think cebe's comment is probably correct. Bush doesn't seem like the sort of person to obsess over tie choice, and the blue really isn't a bad look for him anyway. And if your daughter gets you a tie, you pretty much have to wear it at least once, even if you know it looks hideous.

Blue is better than red. Red seems like a bad cliche for American politicians.

I prefer if Bush did the navy blue on blue shirt. Its like the very conservative Italian look.

I remember watching an episode of "Brothers & Sisters" and one of Robert McCallister's aides shows him a several ties before making a public appearance and he rejects the powder blue tie as being too Democrat. This was funny, because I have noticed Democrats wearing light blue ties for quite some time. How many times has Barack worn one? Edwards? Bush wears them as well but I would have to say powder blue ties lean to the left.
