The people who complained about it are racist/bigotted and don't like Obama because he's black. At the time it wasn't really socailly acceptable to be publicly racist so they would make a big deal out of other stupid random shit directed at him. They would not have cared at all about the tan suit if Obama was white.
That's why his fist bumps with his wife was "terrorist fist jab" and he was joked for liking Dijon on his hot dog.
