(Update) confirmed that this is the Feb 25 tie. Click photo for better resolution

Notes: If I had to guess, President Obama only brought 6 ties with him on this trip...I mean what other explanation could there be for such a quick turnover? I think I have to maybe gift him a tie for the 100 day anniversary to bulk up his collection a bit.

Great Minds Think Alike

Since today is the 50th day in office, half way to 100, the Huffington post has decided to post a retrospective of President Obama's neckties, with stats of color choice and some better pictures than mine.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/10/obamas-first-50-days-in-t_n_173195.html

Tie Tally

President Obama has worn 40 ties since (and including) January 20th.
Of those, here's how they break down by color.

BLUE: 17 (42.5%)
RED: 12 (30%)
GREY: 5 (12.5%)
BLACK: 5 (12.5%)
WHITE: 1 (2.5%)


Well see them at 100!
