It's the same Oval Office. The same desk. Even the same curtains. But President Obama has already made one major change: Go through eight years of White House photos, and you won't find one of former President Bush in the Oval Office without his jacket on.

[Eric Blair 2084]

If Barack Fitzgerald Obama was in favor of freedom and liberty instead of collectivism and Socialism, I wouldn’t care if he wore a g-string and bow tie to work. He could wear a tank top and speedos for all I care.

[wolfcreek]

LOL! Where haven’t they dwelled?

[LeonardFMason]

How long will it be before the Oval Office is fitted with a shag rug and a purple felt ceiling?

[Cacique]

[stuartcr]

That pretty much covered all the bases...not a very good put down, keep trying.

First question was mine, can you explain why?

[Paige]

Put down? I asked you a question in order to answer your question. Most people who understand the importance and the role of the President of the United States would not have to ask that particular question.

[blackie]

Totally!

[stuartcr]

Well yeah, not very subtle. How about answering the question?

[Paige]

Your age?

[stuartcr]

As I said previously, I get to ask first, then you. If you don’t want to answer, just say so.

[McGavin999]

He needs to put that jacket back on, he is too scrawny and looks way too small for the job. At least a jacket can disguise that a bit.

[Paige]

Throughout each presidency, the men who have been elected to the position of President of the United States have shown some form of respect.

Barack Hussein Obama has shown us instantly that he does not have a clue what respect is or what the position of being the President of the United States entails. The problem with Barack Hussein Obama, he does not have any class. This man has not been in the Oval Office a full day and he brings a change that is unacceptable to the presidency. The Change seen by millions is “DISRESPECT”.

Something tells me you knew this and wanted to dance with words. Moreover, playing on words is a Liberal trait.

[stuartcr]

You still haven’t explained why wearing a jacket is respectful...something tells me, you don’t know why.

[Paige]

You're a Liberal, Go bug someone on moveon.org. In fact, I explained in a pithy, succinct manner. Since Liberals do not understand the meaning of respect for the Office of the President of the United States of America, then you wouldn't understand, no wait, see you have already admitted that you don't understand why people respect the Office of the President of the United States. Therefore, I shall not waste any more time with you.

[Antoninus]

The kiddies are running the pre-school. Oh joy.

[stuartcr]

Your response is typical of the tired old ploys I’ve seen here on FR over the years, when someone cannot or will not answer a simple question. You know perfectly well you didn’t explain why wearing a jacket is respectful. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, as I may have missed your answer, which response # is your explanation?

If you cannot even answer this, then thank you for not wasting anymore time on a question you cannot answer.

[Paige]

You really don’t comprehend the reply do you? Please do not post to me again, thanks so much. :)

[stuartcr]

I thought you weren’t going to waste any more time on me?

You really don’t know how to answer a question, do you?...or to at least admit you cannot or will not actually answer a question.

If you are unable, don’t bother to reply.
