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.

Translation of the Chinese coversation around him:

Hee..Hee...Hee...Shhhh... Don't tell the fool he looks just like the purple teletubby! Except tinky-winky would make a more effective leader? Haaa! Haaa!

If you put a white collar on him he’d look like a pastor....well, kind of.

Who is the guy in back on the left with the silver hair?

The only one that looks cool in that jacket is the guy in the center. Who is he I wonder.

Looks popular in that scene!

Ø can be so ceremonial when conveying his agenda.

What’s next, trust falls? The whole world is insane.

It reminds me of a diplomatic gathering on the Enterprise sponsored by Commander Deanna Troi’s father, the Ambassador
