it was something on the order of - 'I don't think people would want to take fashion advise from me, I'm comfortable wearing the same $19.00 blazers everyday, but I thought he looked fine'.

Still defending yesterday's wardrobe choice, Pres Obama tells DCCC fundraiser: I kinda liked that suit yesterday.

@markknoller There is difference between defending and making fun of MSM's stupidity. Obviously, you have difficulty telling the difference

Al Gore, earth tones, Naomi Wolf. that was something wasn't it?

That was different though. People were talking seriously about the clothes, this time people are just goofing around from what I've seen. #YesWeTan for example, "the audacity of taupe", just playing.

On the bright side, Joe Scar was given a little lecture by a female correspondent..."it's not about a tan suit" she said smartly in a very no nonsense way.

he gets away with wearing the same blue suit all the time. i know he used to buy 5 at a time. he prolly has 20 of them in the closet. and poor michelle out there holding up the fashion end all by herself.

i am equally outraged, but for a completely different reason.
