President Obama put on a purple silk robe, matching the one worn by the Chinese president, to watch a fireworks display for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation he's attending in China.
"It's a tradition that each year the APEC host provides shirt or jacket for the other leaders as sign of cooperation," says CBS's Mark Knoller.

That can’t be a real picture. Obama doesn’t have his hand in the air to block someone’s face. /s

I am surprised that Putin went along with us.
As much as I despise Obama, I think this is just an expected ritual of honoring the host nation by wearing their native garb. One of our presidents (it may have been Bush or Clinton) had all the heads of G7 wear cowboy hats and boots at a summit in CO. Not all were amused.
