1. k&r

[TDale313]

2. Dumb question, cause obviously I missed this..,

Why exactly was this an issue? Other than people just flat out hating Obama? What was the supposed horror of Obama wearing a tan suit? I don't get it.

[Scootaloo]

4. Republicans are the cutting edge of fashion consciousness

[TDale313]

6. lol! Clearly.

I get people not liking the suit. Fine. But it seemed like this was more than that. But then, I never understood people outraged that Michelle Obama suggested drinking more water might not be a bad thing.

[seabeyond]

23. omg... there is no answer. all this fuss, and not even anything. too funny. nt

[alphafemale]

7. That first guy in this post is a street performer in DC.

Complete satire.

He's hilarious. I have a pic or two with him somewhere.

[Unknown Beatle]

16. Scalia is a street performer in DC?

I mean, I always knew he was a clown but I didn't know he was also a street performer.

[alphafemale]

18. lol. No the post I responded to.

Mr. America.

[Unknown Beatle]

20. Oops.

My bad.

[Arugula Latte]

8. ...and let's not forget Dubya, with his prezidenshul socks 'n' crocs

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

24. I could have lived my whole life without seeing that picture, but I had to go and click on this

thread.

[Louisiana1976]

28. Me, too. LOL

[cascadiance]

53. He was really stylish the way he wore shorts as well too!

[onyourleft]

26. Indeed.

[exboyfil]

39. This calls for Weird Al

Tacky

[delete_bush]

40. Might I add another...

[JustAnotherGen]

43. You

Are evil!

[Scootaloo]

44. ...

[TDale313]

47. Ok, eww!

[abakan]

55. Oh my eyes!! My bleeding eyes...

I will do my best to forget this. Thanks for the nightmare on a Sunday morning.

[JustAnotherGen]

41. They are so brave

Wearing those shoes with - never mind.

My eyes are bleeding now.

[seabeyond]

22. i was finally going to ask. it has been going on about a week. looking forward to finding the

answer to you...

[TDale313]

46. Well, the real answer is ODS,

But this sounds like it was silly even by that standard.

[Warpy]

27. He hasn't done anything wrong so what you see is right wing whipped up rage

with absolutely nowhere to go. It's making them all look like the jackasses they really are, all the time.

[senseandsensibility]

3. I just don't get it.

And I'm a fashionista. Who are these people upset by this? Forgive me, for I do not watch corporate media. Is this a real "thing"? If it is, what does it mean? I take clothes seriously, but this is just ridiculous.

[Calista241]

5. I think all tan suits look dumb.

So sue me.

[Warpy]

29. Have you ever been in DC in August?

It's horrible. Hell sounds like a vacation spot in comparison.

Tan suits out of linen blends are pretty traditional for summer lightweight suits. Once upon a time and not that long ago, it would be seersucker or white for summer wear.

As long as it wasn't a polyester leisure suit from the 70s, most suits look fine. It's just not a great idea to stay in wool in dark colors even in air conditioning in DC in the summer. You have to go out sometime and you will melt into a puddle if you do, the suit soaked with sweat.

[Calista241]

45. You might be right

But I still wouldn't be caught dead in a tan suit.

Everyone has some terrible clothes they wear. Making any kind of deal out of the Presidents clothes, is just idiotic. Except Bush in his Crocs, that I just can't overlook.

[alphafemale]

9. ...psst. He's darker than the suit.

Face it.

Obama could save a toddler from a bear and Fox News would accuse him of starving wildlife.

And I think tan is just fine for late summer.

[irisblue]

10. Reagan & Scalia......

yep time to get boiling.....

[PDJane]

11. Um. The subjects in half the pictures are senile??

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. Remember the "putting his feet on the desk" fake outrage?

[Aerows]

13. President Obama

has a shit ton of things on his plate. That said, who ever picked this suit out for him should be relegated to picking out his underwear.

Additionally, I have no idea why I am compelled to comment on a thread discussing the suit President Obama is wearing like he is a super model and not the leader of the free world.

Really?

Hating on his suit, really?

[hfojvt]

14. that middle one

does make my blood boil, and I am related to those two.

[cantbeserious]

15. Thank You For Sharing

eom

[markpkessinger]

17. And don't forget this one . . .

:large

[cascadiance]

54. David Koch and family...

[markpkessinger]

19. And in other news, Rep. Peter King makes an ass of himself . . .

. . . again.

[Chakab]

21. This is what a classy President dresses like.

If you're not Presidenting while wearing a coat that looks like it was made out of a cheap couch, you're not doing it right.

[Louisiana1976]

30. Raygun looks so funny in that jacket. And that tie.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. Was he selling real estate then?

That's what the jacket looks like.

[whathehell]

52. Hey!...I used to sell real estate and I NEVER dressed like that, LOL!!

[LadyHawkAZ]

38. ow ow ow ow ow ow my eyes!

[cascadiance]

58. So perhaps did Reagan inspire Doctor Who or did Doctor Who inspire Reagan then?

[BlueMTexpat]

25. It is pure jealousy on the part of those with

boiling blood.

The man in the last picture is clearly the most attractive of all.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. Dummies the lot of them. They know nothing. It is not the suit that is wrong. It is the shirt

and tie that are all wrong for the suit.

all wrong.

[Louisiana1976]

32. I think Obama looks good in his tan suit.

[C Moon]

33. Without looking it up (because I hate reading the "hate-posts" that accompany such articles)...

what is the media saying?
I was watching a program when it was interrupted by the news conference.
When he walked out in the beige suit, I just thought, "That's different. He looks great!"
And the news station didn't even mention the suit after the conference. In fact, he cut the questions, and then came back to answer one more question someone shouted out after he walked off. Has a President ever done that???

Whatever IS being spewed is just the RW'rs grasping for more straws. They just can't corner the President on anything.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. You mean the one with Reagan and Fat Tony?

We're still suffering from that asshole.

[Shrike47]

36. They will complain, and lie about anything.

He dresses like a Muslim is the bottom line. No matter who else did something, if he did it, it's unheard of and bad.

[markpkessinger]

37. Sorry, Rep. King . . .

[JustAnotherGen]

42. He looks the best in it!

I loved my dad (very dark complexion) in a tan suit. My husband (Mediterranean complexion) looks good in one too. I'm seriously NOT getting the Republican issue with President Obama looking good.

[Scuba]

48. It was best said right here yesterday. People are criticizing the Prez for wearing a tan suit ...

... because they're not allowed to wear their white sheets.

[abakan]

57. absolutely!

[Matrosov]

49. Clinton and Carter

President Clinton and President Carter also make people's blood boil.

Let's not forget that conservatives liked to dismiss President Carter as the worst President ever, before we elected President Obama, while we saw the rise of many far-right movements during President Clinton time in office, because conservatives were convinced he would outlaw gun ownership and/or hand sovereignty of the United States over to the United Nations.

[eppur_se_muova]

50. Carter got slammed for wearing a sweater ...

not Prezuhdenchul enough.

[libdem4life]

51. Sorry...the fourth photo offended me.

[dsc]

56. ah you might want to take Carter's out of there

He did take a whole lot of crap for wearing that and other cardigans.

[abakan]

59. Who knew

A black man in a tan suit would have heads exploding all over the country. It seems these guys have nothing else to do than critique the Presidents wardrobe. Maybe they should try working for a change. If they did, they wouldn't have time to audition for Joan Rivers job at fashion police.
