Do you know the story about the beige Barack Obama's costume?

in life •  5 years ago 

Let me tell you.
In 2014, Barack Obama was criticized for putting on a beige suit at a press conference on ISIS.
Then the people said the following: "We are discussing the most important issue, and he dressed as if he had gone to the afternoon promenade!"

Prior to this incident, Barack Obama was already criticized for baggy jeans, for a fist-bump with his wife and for physique.

I’m sure that Obama, as a living person, at least spent several sleepless nights, thinking about why he is so shitty, about how people don't like him.
And it is quite possible that after that he even posed a very specific task to his PR-agents: "Finally, make my image pleasant!"

But after that there was another explosion of the press on the color of his suit, and Obama felt like the most unloved president in history.

And then Trump appeared. No comments.

Now the mini-tantrum around Obama's beige costume is remembered as a symbol of the happy and carefree times of his presidency.
When the president was not a sexist, was not a racist, did not instill hatred in people, did not preach war, did not insult people every day on Twitter.

But you know, when there was nothing to compare, his unsuccessful choice of wardrobe looked a big problem for the whole public.

We are determined not by the number of our mistakes, but by their severity. All people are mistaken; one cannot escape from this.

But someone's mistake is that this person hates others, and someone else - in the wrong suit. But we are experiencing all these failures equally hard.

It is sometimes important to look at ourselves from the outside and ask the question: "Is this really the worst thing I have done? Is it really my lowest point?"

And when you understand that your moral bottom is someone's peak, then life becomes much easier.

I think it's great 😁 No president is 100% loved. Even though many believe Kennedy was, he wasn't as loved as let on.

This is the only question that matters. Sadly, the other person you speak of doesn't think he is doing anything wrong. That in itself scares the crap out of me. He's stuck in schoolyard bully mentality.

Damn it agree with you! I think that while in this world there is no person who would be liked by absolutely everyone, in this world so far everything is in order, lol, even Kennedy did not succeed.=)
In any case, I'm glad you were interested in this post!
