From the President to local officials, our leaders love their personalized jackets (or fleece, in the case of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie). Last night on Rock Center, Brian Williams lightheartedly poked fun at government officials' "Air Force One jacket envy" after a slew of official, monogrammed jackets were seen this past week when leaders hit the streets surveying damage from Hurricane Sandy.
"If you are anyone else but the president, you are at an instant garment disadvantage," says Williams. Check out the video (below) to see how other leaders try to make up for their handicap (and learn about how Christie possibly one-upped them all with his personalized yarmulke).
From Chris Christie's "Governor" fleece, to that flag lady at Obama's acceptance speech, to a new device that makes staff meetings more peaceful, Brian Williams reports on this week's trending headlines.

I had several smart_ss comments, but since are sure to come, I'll be practical.
At disaster/mass casualty scenes, people need to be identified as to who there are and what is their role. Makes it easier to find the person you need and toss out the wannabes.
The President just looks cool.
Its so apparent that leadership roles in the American political environment causes people to age right before our eyes!
