Obama’s Family Photograph

Really, that’s what they call the final APEC summit pic.

Although the right might run with it as “Obama as ‘furner”,” I like the “goodness of fit” for our first “Pacific president.”

The designer of the shirts, by the way, refers to the style as “Asian fusion,” incorporating Chinese, Indian and Malay traditions with a Mandarin collar. Obama had a choice of three colors, either blue, red or green. President Hu, of course, chose red.

(I should also add that, compared to previous APEC get ups, Obama got off lucky.)
