Obama's appearance on television in the tan suit sparked significant attention and lead to large amounts media and social media criticism. The issue remained prominent in the media issue for several days with the issue being particularly widely discussed on talk shows. Rep. Peter King called Obama's wearing of the suit unpresidential.
