maybe they were wearing black because of a death in the family and red because they wanted to show sympathy for the republicans.

The kids looked cute.

Black = elegant (usually).

I noticed today that Obama was sporting the Bush43 look.

He had on the same freak'n blue tie that Bush43 has worn for 8 years.

That sends a signal too I guess.

He got the briefing and started wearing the 'blue tie'.

Now Obama understands that he's 'their' tool, nothing more.

(could be!)

Perhaps its the colors of the secret commie leftist flag and its a signal to the commies that change has come.Sorta like the secret commie leftist terrorist fist bump. Please get a real issue why dontcha

Hi I write from South Africa. My comments is not so much on the colour but the links to sweatshops by the designer of the dress Mrs. O wore on the night.

The more I reflected on the fashion debate about the frock worn by Mrs. O on the historical night which was criticised as an "eyesore" to it looking like a "lava lamp" I thought who the American designer Narciso Rodriguez is and how and under what conditions are his clothing made?
Yes, Mrs. Obama may be wearing an American designed clothing which in of its self is great but there is a darker side to the dress and the designer. How and where was the dress made? Narciso Rodriguez is a Cuban-American who once worked for Calvin Klein. He is the recipient of Vogue/VH1 Fashion Rocks award for best designer. In 2007 fashion goliath Liz Claiborne acquired a 50% interest in his label (Rodriguez was in a financial crisis and had to sell urgently – to anyone) bringing a sinister corporate ethos to the designer's label.
The company has been embroiled in numerous legal disputes and allegations about its ethical practices within it value-chain and this dilutes Rodriguez's brand by association.
