On August 28, 2014, Pres. Obama held a live press conference about the situation regarding ISIS in Syria in which he discussed the prospect of escalating the U.S. military response.

But that was NOT what the media decided was the biggest issue.  It was the fact that our nation’s first Black President wore a tan suit.

 

And the headlines had a field day with his sartorial selection:

 

 

Personally, I thought he looked quite debonair — like someone who could have easily come straight from a GQ magazine shoot.

 

And it’s been the consensus that VP Kamala Harris gave a playful nod to Obama’s “scandal” when she wore her own Chloé tan suit at the DNC.

 

Either way, it underlines the concern of how the media can steer a conversation into the trivial.

So, we’re going to need keep our “Eyes on the Prize!”.  We’ve got work to do!

And TFG continues to mispronounce her first name.

It is a gesture of great disrespect, at which the GOP/GQP has always been skilled. To the GOP we are the “Democrat” Party.  It was how Bush the First always mispronounced Saddam Hussein.

And it is NOT merely ignorance, but it is ALWAYS intentional.

And it is meant to demean.

So, to help Donnie:

It’s pronounced “Comma-la”.  It really is not hard to pronounce.

Then again, I pronounce “Trump” as “Felon”.

But I think that’s mostly my Midwestern twang.
