The tan suit. OMG, the tan suit. You can tell by Peter King's angry expression what he thought the tan suit meant, when he expressed on CNN the seriousness of the scandal. There were over 30,000 tweets the day that Obama wore the tan suit.
Another big one was when Obama commented in Iowa farm country on the price of a clearly elitist food called arugula. It made the national news.
Arugula-gate, as it inevitably came to be called, was immediately deemed a gaffea sign that Obama was an out-of-touch elitist. (The New York Times noted that there wasnt a Whole Foods in all of Iowa.) And throughout the rest of the campaign, the candidates taste in food would often be used as a class-signifying cudgel against him.

And I guess we all remember the nightmare nights, after Obama put Dijon mustard on his burger. Laura Ingraham said, "What kind of man orders his cheeseburger not with ketchup, but with Dijon mustard?"
Thank goodness those scandalous days are over. One scandal after another. It was exhausting.

Thank god we dont have to deal with that and all we have to deal with is a traitor who has sold our country to a murderous dictator.

Wait.

Now, we have the example of Donald Trump and his amazing First Nude.
And her parents, the beneficiaries of chain migration.

(44,228 posts)All the "catfood commission" nonsense. Hell, for months Manny told DUers that Obama was going to cut Social Security by 22%.
Those were dark times at DU.

(25,376 posts)and government surveillance are uninterested in these topics during Republican administrations. They were quite hysterical over it, yet more civilians were killed by drones in Trump's first seven months in office than in Obama's eight years. Guess that's old propaganda that will be revived for the next Democratic president.
