Many thanks Sanrene, for providing my laugh for today.

In my world removing one's jacket and rolling up one's shirtsleeves means WORKING.

Yes, despite eight years evidence to the contrary, the president is more than just a figurehead.

A difficult concept, I know, but one I'm sure even you will eventually get used to.

Obviously, you could care less for the actual office itself and what it represents.
let's get to it! Clinton lied and nobody died, Dubya lied and thousands died. Huge difference.

Not just Bush, but Reagan as well - both showed their great reverance for THE OFFICE of the president. Obviously, obama thinks he is above the office.



Why is it that republican presidents have so much respect for the office of the presidency, while democrats show so much disrespect? I don't think we need to be reminded of what Bubba did in the oval office, do we?
THANK THE LORD ABOVE,but it's no longer Reagan's nor Bush's office so if he wants to hang out there in his longjohns how is that any of your business.Get a life.

What have some of you come to?? Although I don't like Obama, I think him working with his jacket off might be his way to relax and try to stay focus on what is more important, like our economy, Iraq, terrorism, and other stuff. Geez give the guy a break. What difference does it make whether hes wearing a jacket, a dress, or buck a$$ naked, as long as he is getting or trying to get things accomplished.

I think that was Clinton's thoughts with his pants.

Obama at least is going to SHOW UP at the Oval Office. He doesnt need to dress in a COSTUME to get into character.

Bush took a record amount of vacation time, holed up in Texas, watching football and rolling off couches.

Agreed.

I have no problem with Obama not wearing a jacket/coat and I don't think that not wearing one disrespects the office, the position, or Americans. And comments about Clinton and his mistakes/errors/bad judgment/etc. has nothing to do with Obama and is irrelevant to this discussion...

Credit to the OP for originality as this is the first complaint I have ever heard about the President's clothing.

I dont care if he is in there naked or wearing a chicken suit. As long as he is getting stuff done then he can wear whatever he wants.
