Joe, who is Vice President to Michelle Obama's husband (Barack), really displayed his jovial demeanor not only with the playful smirk that he often wears to events like this, but also with the striped tie that he donned for his speech at the DNC. The piece tells us that while some politicians choose red, white or blue when choosing a tie color, one mustn't have to choose just one color of our nation.
Since the DNC, men have been flocking to buy red, white, and blue ties because of his bold tie choice. While critics say to have all three colors on one tie sends a message of greed, supporters feel that Joe's tie choice encourages men to realize that they truly can "have it all." The path-breaking tie, plus the finishing touch of the American flag lapel pin, is a huge step for men everywhere.
