And Another Thing About Obama...

He should “would wear a suit coat and tie.” This from Andrew Card, former White House Chief of Staff for former President George W. Bush, on the syndicated "news" program Inside Edition, as reported on the New York Times blog The Caucus. With all that's going on in the world, I think it's important to pick on our new president for choosing to take off his jacket and actually do some work while he's in the Oval Office.

My unsolicited advice to Mr. Card: if you don't have anything useful or constructive to add to the national discussion about how to get out of this economic mess, maybe just go ahead and take the rod out of your bottom. The White House is no longer controlled by the Bush administration and its formal dress code, so while you can act all offended by the site of President Obama without his jacket on, you just come off as a...what's a nice way to put this? Ah, I know. You come off as a fuddy-duddy.
