Obama Didn't Wear A Tie During Today's Press Conference
President Barack Obama addressed the nation today about the crisis in Iraq and Ferguson, Missouri. Technically still on vacation, Obama decided not to wear a tie. The Internet, of course, had something to say about the untied president:

Apparently the president looks like a Denny's employee:
Where the hell is Obama's tie? POTUS on tv from White House looking like he works at Denny's!

Does Obama ever wear a tie?
— Steven Javier (@StevenRuiz7) August 18, 2014
Answer: Yes.
Obama might also work at a grocery store:
Get a tie Obama. The guy carrying out my groceries dresses more professionally than you do. But hey your only the president of the USA.

Maybe he’s setting trends?
Would be great if Obama killed off the tie like JFK killed off the hat.

Obama is not wearing a tie. Ronald Reagan always did. Also, Lincoln had a beard. Washington wore a wig. And dentures. #Ferguson

And maybe his hair isn't okay too?
President Obama's hair looks weird. #WorthlessObservation

We're not so sure about this theory:
@LegallyErin Clearly, as he was sans tie, that was a FAKEBAMA. A genetic clone put up there while Obama finishes his ARMY OF ENSLAVEMENT.

Well he does also look kind of sleepy.
Damn! Can we pitch in and buy Obama a tie and a cup of coffee. Pathetic. This is the leader of the Free World for Gods sake. #Ferguson

If you have or are tweeting about Obama's tie, you are part of the problem. Focus, people. Focus.

We're sorry.
And when tie-gate was finally over, Corey Booker (probably) subtweeted the President.
What is more often needed is a patient heart that listens than an intelligent mind that talks and talks.

He's had a rough couple weeks.
