Buzz over Barack Obama’s tan suit

New York: US President Barack Obama’s choice of a tan suit created a buzz on social media. Mr Obama’s summer fashion choice, not unprecedented among Presidents himself included was the talk of social media Thursday was defended as a perfectly appropriate seasonal look and criticised as too big and wholly unpresidential. The Twitter jeers flew: “Taupe and change,” one said. Another tweeter riffed off the title of his book with “The audacity of taupe.” While Mr Obama usually dresses in traditional power dark suits, he did don tan for Easter this year. But not while discussing possible US military intervention in the West Asia.
