I hate taupe.

My mom used to buy me nylons that were “taupe” and my legs were a weird, gray-greenish-purple all day.

Horrible color.

Despite the color to make him appear larger, he’s still got little faerie shoulders, even with his monstrous shoulder pads and his ever-so-intense workouts:

In the tweets that followed the story there may have been a good runner up. John Dingell was shown wearing a tan suit as well, and both Dingell and the suit looked like they had gone through the spin cycle twice.

Weak suit to go with the announcement we have no strategy to deal with ISIS.

Whole country focuses on his suit, ISIS focuses on ...the admission we have no idea what to do!

0bama just gave them the signal to run rampant. How dumb! Really...how is it the CIC ANNOUNCES to the world ...we don’t know what to do? Idiot. You hold a presser from a position of POWER.

I don’t know, stunning really. We should all be scared and prepared to take action, because the girl man in the Oval Office doesn’t know what to do. God help us!

The issue I have with this suit is the weak image it projects. It certainly complemented his wishy-washy stance. Our leader should dress to communicate a position of strength. All we get is “WUSS!”

I like the suit, but I think it looked better on Ellen DeGeneres.

My thought too. I thought the suit highlighted that blacks get suntanned too. He was darker and splotchier than I’ve normally seen him. Btw, the suit did not look good on him.

I’m sure that you, being a young lass of tender years, heard that line listening to your grandmother’s old 78s.

I told my wife that I think his tan suit was some kind of signal to one of our enemies to attack. He never wears brown suits.

You sure he didn’t “steal” that suit?

The president has a nice tan. Even his blue gums were tan

Reporters are talking and writing about the color of his suit? Have they all lost their minds? With the terror and horror that muslims are perpetuating on this planet, and reporters talk about the color of empty-head’s suit? Hang it up. This country needs to start over.

I think its mainly the press that was enamored w/ his costume. If they had to write something substantive it would put Barry in a bad light. So, theyre sticking to the happy fluff. The press is just an organ of the dem party. In short their its propaganda arm.
