Why does Barack Obama tend to wear a four-in-hand knot in his tie instead of the more presidential Windsor? It sounds like a bad political joke, but it's actually the subject of an in-depth investigation by Newsweek, which comes up with five possible explanations: He didn't have a father around to teach him the proper way to wear a tie.
