Aftermaths of #YesWeTan: Obama Says Social Media Magnifies the Dangers of a 'Messy' World

Just in case you missed it yesterday the U.S. President Barack Obama said that the world's challenges can seem "pretty frightening" to Americans. But he argued that they pose no greater threat than in previous decades and I bet you more than 80% of the Twitter users who were talking about the White House Speech were more interested in what Obama was wearing than what he was saying.

This is partly why he said "The world has always been messy," Obama said, speaking at a barbecue for Democratic donors in Purchase, New York. "In part, we’re just noticing now because of social media and our capacity to see in intimate detail the hardships that people are going through."
"I can see why a lot of folks are troubled," Obama said. But he promised that a combination of American values, diplomatic efforts, anti-terror capabilities and military might were sufficient. "This is something we can handle," he said.

However, the president's remarks came one day after he acknowledged at a press conference that "we don't have a strategy yet" to face Islamic State (formerly known as ISIS/ISIL) radicals in Syria. Thing is; most people didn't care about that. They were more interested in the tan suit Obama wore to the press conference. His suit sent Twitter users into meltdown with the hashtag #YesWeTan.
