I can't believe he's wearing a tie! I mean, how many professional men under 50 still wear a tie to work??
My hubby and all of his employees all way under 50! It is a professional look. People do not want to do business with people that do not look the part.

He is the President of the United States. People who want/need to do business with him will do business with him regardless of whether he looks the part because he is the part.

Hard work is more easily done with ones jacket off. There wasn't much hard work being done in the Bush or Reagan administrations.
I knew someone would bring this up. How many executive keep their jackets on all the time in their office. Makes you wonder how much time Bush spent their with his sleeves rolled up doing the nations work? I thought it would come up but I thought it would be from someone who was anti Bush who wanted to poke at his work habits or lack their of. Wonder which work situation is best for handling stressful situations for staffers and visitors who want to roll their sleeves up and do the peoples work?
I did not want to tell this to Sanrene. But since you are discussing it, I will tell it.
I spent five years as a chair of state-wide committee on educational policy. I was in Austin several times a month. We had 20 members on the committee--one from each educational region in the state.
Our first few meetings were disasters. About the 4th or 5th meeting, I told everyone on the committee to dress casually and to wear a T shirt from one the schools in their region at our next meeting so we could know where they were from.
Everyone worked better that week. They were more comfortable in the casual wear, and the ideas flowed unbelievably quickly, freely, and creatively. Everyone agreed to dress more casually, and we spent five very productive years setting educational policy. We only dressed in suits when we had to make presentations to the State Board of Educator Certification.
That is my experience with this situation. Good for Obama.
I'm in Austin, and I have to say- the only men I see wearing a suit and tie are either copier repairmen or going to a funeral. I would love to see Friday casual in the White House.
