Hollande Shows Up in Tie at Tieless G8 Summit

New French President Francois Hollande was the only foreign leader who showed up at a Group of Eight summit in Maryland wearing a tie, a fact that did not remain unnoticed by President Barack Obama.

"Francois, we said you could take off the tie," Obama noted as Hollande came walking up.

"For my press," responded the French leader.

"For your press you must look good," Obama pointed out.

The world leaders then headed to a lodge for a working dinner, where they were expected to discuss the most pressing international issues.

Later Friday, the White House released an official photo of the dinner, which showed Hollande sitting next to Obama without a tie.
