I work at a law firm where jeans are NEVER allowed. I’m glad that you can wear them to your workplace, and I wear them periodically as well. But, the WH asked for no jeans. So, this is what you do, just like what I did for my husband. A lightweight pair of pants with a lightweight short-sleeve summer shirt or polo. It’s not that difficult. I guarantee you that my husband was more comfortable and cooler than if he was in jeans at 104 degrees.
Dear RINO_Lady,

Please consider that we elected to occupy the WHite House is a public servant. We did not elect him to be the nation’s husband.
As I remember, the owners of property dress as they wish when visiting their property.
While I likely deplore the general coarsening of American society at least as much as you do, the image of a Texan banning jeans is laughable.
As for the White House not being some theme park, agreed. But that is only because the heirs to Louis Carroll have not sued over the White House becoming a bought and paid for Alice-In_Mexicoland show, thanks to Bush’s border debacle.
Yes, manners and dress have a place, but the Nanny State can’t dress the public. If their parents didn’t teach those basic social graces, and since th public is the ultimate power in America, I hold that the public can dress as they wish when visiting the White House.
