Obama's tan suit buzzed around the world - chairman - 08-30-2014

NEW YORK (AP) — Quick! What exactly did President Barack Obama say from the White House briefing room about Syria, Iraq and Ukraine while dressed in the tan suit buzzed 'round the world?
Precisely. If you get all your news from social media.

Obama's summer fashion choice, not unprecedented among presidents — himself included — was the talk of social media Thursday. It was both defended as a perfectly appropriate seasonal look and criticized as too big and wholly unpresidential for such serious subject matter.

The Twitter jeers flew: "Taupe and change," one said. Another tweeter riffed off the title of his book with "The audacity of taupe."

I saw the suit briefly. I don't see the big deal at all. It's just a suit. The President has more pressing issues to be concern with than his tan suit he wore to a press conference. Sometimes, I feel American media try to make President Obama appear fluffy and not the Commander In Chief. It's weird for me to come across news stories where most of the time the articles are about the "lifestyle" of the President and not the current policies, legislation or pending decisions he will likely make in the near future as it relates to the US economy.
