The Hunt For Former President Barack Obama’s Tan Suit
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
In 2014, President Barack Obama stepped up to the podium in the White House Briefing Room to update the country on the economy, foreign policy and more. But all anyone could seem to talk about was the president’s fashion choice for the day. The president, known for usually wearing a navy or gray suit, made a rare fashion divergence – one that was described as everything from hands “cool” to “unpresidential.”
But where is that suit now?
We hear about a veteran Sun-Times reporter’s cross-country mission to locate the infamous suit.
GUESTS: Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun-Times special correspondent
