Everyone is always paying so much attention to, and talking about what First Lady Michelle Obama is wearing. You don't hear much about the President's wardrobe (unless he's wearing those unfortunate "dad jeans"). But lucky for you, I am just nerdy enough and pay close enough attention to detail to notice a little, bipartisan touch over the last week or so.
Has anyone else noticed the purple ties?
Here's President Obama Friday, when he met with House GOP members:
And here he is today, as he met with Senate Democrats:
Purple ties, both days. Maybe the other guys are trying to take the edge off too. Did you see Senator Harry Reid sporting a pink tie and Rep. John Boehner in light green?
Note: During his State of the Union address, President Obama was wearing a red striped tie, while Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were matching... in purple.
There you go, for what it's worth.
