Yes we can.

"But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people. Yes we can."

And it is therefore quite fitting, one of the greatest and surprising validations of hope and change, to see this picture on the first day of a new administration.
The president is well dressed.

Let all the world take note: the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, can pull off impeccable white tie. Of great interest is the fact he is wearing a plain front, spread collar shirt. I have long argued with the prom industry, which foists winged collared monstrosities with pleats and poor fabric on unsuspecting American consumers, that a wing collar is only appropriate for white tie. It must never, ever be worn with anything else.

But it is appropriate to wear either a wing collar or a spread collar with white tie. And proving that he is the change we have been waiting for, BHO wore a fine spread collar shirt with white tie.

Yes we can. Yes we did.
