			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our <a href="http://www.neckofstate.com/2009/08/21/as-health-care-heats-up-obama-loosens-tie/">recent post</a> we featured Obama&#8217;s streak of tie-less appearances at Town Hall meetings across the country.</p>
<p>Today, the <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Photostream-Business-and-Pleasure-in-August/">White House published a telling photo</a> of the President unveiling his true power in a move that may change human-kind&#8217;s understanding of what it means to wear a tie.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.neckofstate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/2009-08-14_obama_health_care_halo.jpg" alt="2009-08-14_obama_health_care_halo" title="2009-08-14_obama_health_care_halo" width="333" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-965" /></center></p>
<p><em>Note: The thin, white halo around the President&#8217;s head appears in the original photo <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2440/3859980993_5628f47ee7.jpg">provided by the White House</a>.</em></p>
<p>Executive branch officials may claim that this effect is a simple coincidence of lighting, but some fringe analysts suspect that the photo warrants a new interpretation of the President&#8217;s use of neckties. They insist that the President&#8217;s neck wear choices say less about what he intends to project outward  to an audience than they say about a secret, formidable, faith-based power he is hiding within.</p>
<p>While Neckofstate&#8217;s official position has long been that neck wear is used to supplement a message, the photograph above reveals that the President may be rethinking the scope of influence that neckties, or the lack thereof, could have on the political landscape.</p>
