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.

I bet the Chinese are behind closed doors laughing their asses off.

Ha ha ha! Obama and Putin have no idea that they're dressed like gay eunuchs from the Ming Dynasty.

Harper looks like he is contemplating putting Putin in a chokehold to give him a noogie.

The Chinese put uniforms on everyone to control them socially.

Obama should be wearing a dress Western outfit with cowboy boots and a Stetson.Fat chance of that from Obama though. This goes to show just how much of a surrender noodle Obama truly is.

What is with these funky robes that harken to a time long ago?

This would be like us hosting the G7, and having all the world leaders dress up like cowboys.

Notice in the group picture that Putin is the guest of honor in the center, and Obama is shoved down on the end with the wives. Open insult by the Chinese and he just takes it.

I showed this picture to my wife and asked her what came to mind when she saw it...her response? "Star Trek".

Keep in mind she HATES Star Trek.

It’s heartening that the ranks of Star Trek fans are so diverse.
