OMG I am a disgrace to DU and Americans everywhere

[LynneSin]

I wore Khaki Tan pants today with a cream shirt.

I think all of you should hold me in shame for wearing such garish colors?



Really - now we criticize the president for the suit colors he is wearing? These troglodytes need to get a life. If I wanted the fashion police I'd read Joan Rivers, barring that as long as the man is dressed decently who gives a flying rat's ass what color the suit is?

1. These critics need to get a life.

A lot of people look dead in tan or beige or brown. But who cares?

[tularetom]

2. Well, actually I think they're more concerned about the color of the president than his suit

They just don't want to come out and say it.

In your case, I don't believe anybody will care what color your suit is, depending of course on what color you are.

[Uben]

3. No worries

...us color-challenged people don't know the difference anyway.

[underpants]

4. Pres. Obama could get Bin Laden and there would be some griping and deflection

Oh wait, that happened

As I posted elsewhere on DU.

Shame on you. A may be in order.

5. I've done worse.

I wore khaki pants with a red lacroste shirt. But I had a 50% chance of being mistaken for a Target salesperson, rather than a preppy.

11. Can you tell me what aisle I can find Motor Oil and Razors for my car

[Baitball Blogger]

14. It's on the end cap of aisle...

...Fuck you!

[LynneSin]

15. Only if you do not wear tan

6. The ol' Earth Tones debate...

9. I'll give the President a pass

YOU, on the other hand...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. god forbid he ever wear seersucker especially in a light blue :o

[LynneSin]

13. I would think Obama would look handsome in that suit

on the other hand I really didn't like Tan on him. Wasn't his color but then again I don't really care that he wore tan!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. Oh heck yeah - I love that suit but, I also thought he looked very nice in the tan/taupe suit, too.

sheesh ... some people.

I really think, as a couple, The Obamas present themselves well. They have a casual elegance about them that I find very appealing.

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. True story....

When biden was running, he wore a lot of tan/beige suits.
I emailed his campaign, asking someone to tell him how dull and washed out he looked in that color
and that he should wear dark rich greys and blues.
3 weeks later, he had started wearing the dark colors and has not been publicly seen in tan again.
Believe it or not....

tan is a difficult color to wear for most people.

[hifiguy]

33. He could actually pull that off

without looking like Bertie Wooster.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. well, I'll be pipped, he could at that! Carry on, Jeeves

[hifiguy]

36. I am currently re-reading all of the Jeeves and Wooster stories.

They are timelessly funny. Though I don't know if Jeeves would approve of such a jacket. His views on what a gentleman should wear are quite conservative.

Slim, good looking guys like Obama can wear anything and look good. I am jealous.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

37. yanno, thanks to this exchange and because I was headed to the library anyway I am going

to check out a Jeeves book.

My Grandpa owned a light blue seersucker suit back in the day.

He would wear to church on Sundays in the summer, deep south.

He had a nice straw panama to wear with it, too.

I think seersucker gets a bad rap.

I always liked the fabric ... that and linen are good in summer months in the deep south.

Nice chatting with you, must dash. Ciao!

12. Even kudzu is more useful than fashion critics. nt

[panader0]

18. I'm not going to hold you in shame....

You got enough abuse in the Lounge.

[TheKentuckian]

19. Who the fuck cares about a suite and why would someone not ignore said fucks?

[TBF]

20. Anyone who worships this guy -

should not be lecturing anyone about how to dress:

[freshwest]

25. OMGawd. At all of that. And look at those mom pants!

[pleinair]

28. oh! my eyes!

hilarious pics

[hifiguy]

34. That windowpane check suit is straight from

the Herb Tarlek Collection:

[Ratty]

21. At least he wore a jacket

Remember, no president in US history every went without a jacket in the Oval Office until Obama. You've never seen pictures of Nixon, Reagan or Bush in the Oval Office without a proper suit jacket. Only Obama has disrespected the office of the president so. Probably a signal to his Muslim Brotherhood overlords.

(obviously)

[LiberalAndProud]

24. I was going to let this go by uncommented, because I don't care

what you or the president choose to wear. Could.not.care.less.

Actually, LynneSin, I think you probably looked adorable, for what that's worth.

So, I would have left this uncommented, except that I decided to let the world know that I don't fucking care.


Eta: I will now put the word tan into my trash can to prevent any further aggravation.

Also, I really don't care.

[freshwest]

26. This thread is useless without pictures. Who jumped on you, where? Let me at 'em!

[TBF]

29. You obviously missed my post -

#20 - all kinds of pictures (warning - you may need to bleach your eyes afterwards): http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5461072

[freshwest]

30. No, I saw that and responded to it. Isn't this about LynneSin's apparel?

My reply to you was earlier today:

27. It just proves ABSOLUTELY that ALL criticism of Obama from the right is racism

[Jim Lane]

31. Yikes, your headline scared me for a moment.

I was afraid you were going to say you had accidentally left only one space after a period.

You can wear anything you like as long as you're careful about the important stuff.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. So Did I. Even Worse. . .

. . .i wore a Hawaiian shirt to work as well! Might as well just ignore any hope of making america proud.

[In_The_Wind]

38. IMO Both outfits are fine.

[GoCubsGo]

39. I thought his suit was a refreshing change.

I would like to say that all the criticism of it surprises me, but sadly, it doesn't. But, in general, I don't give a shit what color his or any other person's suit is. I really don't understand why anyone else cares. "Troglodytes", indeed.
