This is how it happens. First they tell us how to dress in the WH, then they tell us how to dress elsewhere. Slippery slope folks. Soon, they will tell us what to think, and we’ll all be wondering how it happened that we are all slaves to the new and improved King George. Can you say “stupid, unquestioning public”? People who back the WH’s decision on this are even stupider than I thought; one step closer to tyrrany. Wake the hell up, people.

Obviously you have never known social decorum.
Maybe you were married in a turnip patch, and never went to a church, and do not know flip from flop.

I definitely agree with you.

However, I understand the DESIRE to do this. Every City Hall and business is probably sick of looking at people who look like they are going to Wal-Mart, the beach, the races or a Playboy layout appointment.

This rule points out what so many fail to acknowledge. WE ALL ARE NOT EQUAL thus someone has to set the standard by telling those with no sense what is appropriate attire and when.

I just don't agree it should be the White House but, I remember how disgusted I was watching on T.V. the many people stream past (I think it was Reagan but it might have been Ford) who lay in state in our Capitol Rotunda. It was embarassing to me, the way some were dressed, as it was broadcast the world over. We are viewing the demise of RESPECT--plain and simple and it is glaring the differences in CLASS and class act.

I thought your comment was a parody LOL. The subsequent responses might suggest I was wrong?

I'm kind of anti-gov myself Freedom. Just don't visit the White House if you don't like the dress code, I guess.

Oh, boy, it’s a conspiracy./s

I’d venture to say that the “stupid unquestioning public” are in the flip flops and tank tops...

I agree with the dress code. As a society, we’ve lost much of our dignity and it’s disgusting to watch.

This is actually a return to the previous dress code that had been in place before the previous administration turned the White House into a trailer park.

Now go out and buy some more foil. You missed a spot behind your left ear.
