Barack Obama has been blasted for his choice of attire for a news conference to discuss important foreign policy.
The 44th and current President of the United States caused a stir by wearing a tan suit, instead of the standard grey, blue or black suit, for a press meet to make a foreign policy statement, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Twitter witnessed more than 4,000 tweets about his breezy light colored summer suit during the press conference and several hastags like "suitgate" and "Obamasuit" became the trending topics.
Some of the users joked about the suit and tweeted "Obama vows to defeat whoever made him wear this suit", "Who gave President Obama that old church suit from my dad's closet?" and "President Obama is here to sell you tornado insurance", and "yes we tan" became the mocking rally cry on social media sites.
