Forget the tan suit. Remember the tan shoes.
That's "Dodie Stevens (born Geraldine Ann Pasquale, February 17, 1946)... an American rock and pop singer... best known for her million selling 1959 song 'Pink Shoe Laces,' which made her a star when she was only 13 years old."
Here's the earlier post of the day about Obama's tan suit, which I thought was just fine. It's August! Whatever happened to summer suits? Why don't we denounce all the politicos and journos who wear heavy black suits on television all summer long? We've lost touch with reality, and it's good to see a President with some appearance of awareness of the world beyond air conditioning.
IN THE COMMENTS: FullMoon notes the song lyric "And a big Panama with a purple hat band" and remembers those famous pictures of Obama in a Panama hat.

Absolutely!! That's why it was smart to vote for him!!
the tan suit is just fine. the problem is that the suit's interior spaces is lacking all substance.
I hear that joke's old.
I have been thinking that the president Barack Obama should be compared to is not Jimmy Carter, but Warren Harding.
Harding was a newspaper publisher from Marion, Ohio, and in 1920 the Republican Party nominated him as their presidential candidate "because he looked so much like a president."
He should go all the way and wear shorts. It's not like he needs your vote again.
The tan suit was an excuse for the MSM who had to say something and certainly couldn't talk about the press conference at which Obama laid several big fat eggs.
To paraphrase:
"we currently have no strategy" in Irag/Syria;
"we are not going to do anything" about Ukraine;
"we are thinking about a strategy" for Iraq/Syria.
Help! Help! I am drowning!
The president's dark suit was at the cleaners.
The tan suit is the only evidence that this gentleman is connected to any of the realities of the external world. And it's probable that someone else picked it out for him.
"The audacity of taupe"; "Yes we tan";

"...and a Panama hat with a purple hat band."
Pretty sure Obama posed for a picture with a Panama hat and a doobie, brother.
I liked the tan suit with tie ensemble. A couple of big ass diamond rings with one matching earring and a slightly dangling gold link bracelet would close the deal.
it's good to see a President with some appearance of awareness of the world beyond air conditioning.
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
...
To be clear, he's not giving up any SUVs or comfortable temperatures. He doesn't have to pay the grossly inflated prices for gas and electricity that he's done everything in his power to raise for the rest of the country.
You've lost touch with reality, and it's bad to have a President with every appearance of being an asshole.
If I recall my older sisters' singing correctly from 55 years ago, it's:
"And a big Panama with a purple hatband".
"PR shoes and a big straw hat.
He's never early. He's always late."
Brit Hume routinely wears a tan suit in the summer, often with a dark blue shirt.
No biggie.

The best song on the subject of suits. Pure, pure herringbone.
