President Barack Obama held a news conference Thursday to reveal important information regarding Russia financing and arming separatists in Ukraine, migrant children in the U.S. and his strategy for defeating the Islamic State in Syria, but all eyes seemed to focus on his suit. The president addressed the press in a pale, khaki-colored suit, and the Internet exploded. .

And bonus points for the president if the suit is a stylish linen. As Tschorn noted in a recent article on the comeback of khaki, beige twill was a fixture on the runways for both men and women during the spring-summer 2010 shows in New York and Europe.

As the whole world is going to s__t and America is going down in flames, and Obama's monumental incompetence is drawing the attention of even his slavish devotees at the Washington Post and other MSM outlets, its good to see that the LAT still is in a 2008 time warp where the only thing that the press writes about Dear Leader is how wonderful and cutting edge his fashion sense is. Are those pants perfectly creased?

He was treated to a mini-makeover at the gay bachelor party.

He looked wan and pitiful. Reagan and Bush looked good in their tan suits.

If you have to say: "No, really, it's stylish".... it really looks like crap on a cracker.

Good taste and style speak for themselves and don't need defense by sycophants.
