pretty cool. Thought it was a great look to end the summer. If that's the best criticism "they've" got, then LOL.

But then again, I'm not blinded by hatred for his skin color the way the White supremacists of the Republican Party do.

Gimme a break! Even if you're not Catholic, you wear dark blue, charcoal gray, or black...unless you're Dick Cheney, then you can wear a down-filled ski jacket.

...to wear a tan suit yesterday, 4 days before Labor Day.

A reporter asked him if he'd thought about wearing a tan suit today and he replied that he thought about it...but thought it might be a little too much.

They certainly were two peas in a green pod! Still hard to look at after all these years.

I accidentally saw a minute of the Today Show this morning. The brain trust over there determined that the problem with the tan suit was not that it was tan, but that it was ill-fitting.

Which, of course, was not the case.

I can feel my IQ dropping when I watch that garbage.

Am I led to believe that Republicans are criticizing Obama for wearing a tan suit? Holy fuck, that's what they are down to? So bereft of valid criticism they are fixating on his suit?
