Do people really give a shit on what a US President wear? I just see from time to time that they bring up the Tan Suit Incident with Obama. What is or was the big deal? I slept since then.

    It is beyond bizarre what becomes a big deal with US Presidents, it is even more bizarre what doesn’t.

    With that said, the silly shit that people got worked up about with Obama was beyond the pale.

    Fox News would find any reason to criticize Obama and one time he wore a tan suit and they flipped the fuck out saying it was not presidential.

      Got to ask the way you used vertical what do you mean? I only know about it in like a direction or jumping. Am I missing something?

        In this case they’re referring to essentially a market niche in a new “category” of news.

    A deal was made about it, but I don’t think it was a big one. Most people just rolled their eyes and moved on. It was stereotypical slow news week material for Fox News.

      It was as big of a deal as Obama putting spicy mustard on his burger.

    I’d have opinions if he started turning up in a speedo and open shirt combo (baller). Or wears nazi stuff.

      Ever since I heard it, I think politicians should wear the insignia of the groups they are working for on their suits like racecar drivers.

        I love the idea! If they’re going to be bought and paid for, we should know who the sponsors are.

    I guess it depends if your political affiliation is your only defining characteristic.
