I didn't even notice the suit. Keep at it guys, you're doing a (cough) terrific job in these very troubled times.

I did not like that suit. Looked so beneath his dignity, I'm surprised they let him wear it. I don't know the whole story, but I've never seen him look tacky befor and was shocked. On the other hand, I'm glad he said what he did.

What you're using as a measuring stick. Don't like the suit does not mean it's tacky.

The combination of the wrong color for the president's completion and the fact that it was a bit too large made me think of an uncle of mine from the 70s who always looked tacky. He was an alcoholic and was never put together well. I suppose its personal for me and I shouldn't have said anything. But compared to the way the President usually looks, I thought it looked tacky. He usually is so well dressed!

I can't imagine any other attire that would produce such negative comment from our liberal media.

People dying all over the world. Bad guys showing off everywhere. Should we commit lives and treasure here or there?

But, what's important?! The President's fucking suit.

Pathetic.

know some of the media commented on his suit.
Last week they whined that he did not wear a tie (Grethen from Fox news of course)--at his news conference.



I have to say, I did notice the light colored suit and how it blended with is now greying hair.

More importantly, you are right. this is probably one of the most toughest decisions he has to make. I am glad he in NOT hurrying the situation and will get the region involved.

well, maybe so, because he reportedly loathed the media and some of them loathed him. Our media has gone so far downhill. Fashion media now ?

It looked very nice...

However, I was more interested in what he had to say, which I also liked.

This country is becoming more shallow every day... to worry about the color of a perfectly appropriate suit is so lame.

in parts of the country, Congress is still fucking dysfunctional as hell, the SCOTUS is having fun fucking up with the 5 asshole criminals, ISIS is just DARING us to come back to Iraq, BUT HELL NO!!!!

Let us worry about the POTUSes clothes!

I swear sometimes I do really wonder about the future of this country.

The M$M is PURE POISON.
