Today in Obama: Out of Pocket

On February - 5 - 2009 View Comments

In an interview running on Inside Edition Wednesday night, George W. Bush’s former chief of staff Andrew H. Card Jr. huffs that “there should be a dress code of respect” in the White House. President Obama, he says, should “wear a suit coat and tie.”

And if that wasn’t enough to gast a few flabbers, Card went on: “The Oval Office symbolizes…the Constitution, the hopes and dreams, and I’m going to say democracy. And when you have a dress code in the Supreme Court and a dress code on the floor of the Senate, floor of the House, I think it’s appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the President.”

Wow.

Card can go to hell. He must not have anything better to do.

A photo of Bush without his jacket on has been found. So take that and shove it, Card.

Phew... I am so glad that Andrew Card finally said what has been on many Americans' minds. I can't tell you how I have spent the last few days just obsessing over Obama's casual dress-code. The economy? Our health-care? Our fallen soldiers in Iraq? The fact that we are facing the biggest crisis since the Depression? Nope... not thinking about those things... just thinking about how Obama doesn't wear a suit. I mean, the man has a point, you know? When Bush was president, he always wore a suit, and I don't know about you, but it did make me think of the Constitution, Democracy, and the hopes and dreams of America. Like "Gee, I sure HOPE Bush doesn't draft me." Or "Wouldn't it be a DREAM if unemployment wasn't so high?" or "hey... remember when we had a CONSTITUTION? DEMOCRACY was sure nice too, huh?"
So thank you Mr. Card for reminding us of what is important. It is so nice to know that Republicans aren't acting like little bitches and criticizing Obama on anything they can just so that they can feel better about the fact that they got their asses whooped last November.

Just one question for you, Mr. Card... exactly just how sour are those grapes?

Obama should do the total opposite of what Bush did which he is, so Obama is on the right track.

So I guess if you're wearing a suit and tie, you can say that you were at least RESPECTING the constitution while you trampled all over it? Don't even get me started on hopes and dreams, or democracy...
