Twitter is remembering when the world freaked out over Obama's tan suit
AUGUST 28TH IN 2014 was an extraordinary day.
Rory McIlroy hung out with Bill Clinton.
New BFFs?
Jennifer Aniston told the world she had tasted Jimmy Kimmel’s wife’s breast milk.
Fair enough.
And Obama wore a tan-coloured suit to work.
The internet proceeded to go mad.
Whoops!

Rep. Peter King said Obama wearing a tan suit during a press conference was a metaphor for a “lack of seriousness.”
… While Time Magazine wrote a piece in defence of the ensemble.
“The tan suit is just another suit that happens to be a slightly different color than the ones he normally wears,” Eric Dodds wrote.
“It was, in no way, a fashion statement.”
Sure, Trump’s done some pretty terrible stuff. But he’s never worn a tan suit to a press conference before.
#ThanksObama.
So infamous is the suit now, that Obama recently admitted that he regretted not wearing it for his final press conference as President.
He said at the podium:
Many are hoping he’ll whip the rig-out out again soon.
Y’know. For a special occasion or the like.
Whoops!
