(59,503 posts)Thanks to DU archives, we have the articles describing who wore them - and per the Hill - looked like ice cream vendors - but alas, the links to articles and photos are dead. Imagine President Obama had appeared in a seersucker suit rather than the dignified, well tailored suit in a color that looked very good on him.

Obama's suit is very classy and he looks great. It does seem that most summer suits seem to get those attacks. For years, I saw negative comments on Kerry wearing suits a similar color.
However, to me, when the Republicans and media are attacking on something as innocuous as the color of a suit -- ignoring that it is of course well tailored -- it means Obama has given them very few PERSONAL things to complain about. The same thing could be said of complaining because he took what was a total of about 2 weeks - interrupted by a planned few days in DC - quietly vacationing with his wife and daughters again shows they have little else. That he was in meetings, being briefed and making calls a significant part of the time in Martha's Vineyard as well makes the accusations even sillier.
