After a rough day at the office on Tuesday, 2/3, President Obama's fashion style is now coming under attack. Former George W. Bush Chief of Staff Andrew Card says the Obama dress code is way too laid back.
"There should be a dress code of respect," Card tells INSIDE EDITION. "I wish that he would wear a suit coat and tie."
Card is the first member of the Bush administration to bash Obama, and he's going after him for forgoing a coat and tie.
"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."
Card continued, "I don't criticize Obama for his appearance, I do expect him to send the message that people who are going to be in the Oval Office should treat the office with the respect that it has earned over history."
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has lashed out at Obama, saying he fears there is a "high probability" that the United States will face a nuclear or biological attack by terrorists in the future. "The potential ability of an Al Qaeda organization to get their hands on that kind of weapon and deploy it in the middle of one of our own cities, that's the ultimate threat. That's the one that would involve the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands of people and it's the one you have to spend a hell of a lot of time guarding."
Cheney argues the Obama administration is putting the nation at risk by closing Guantanamo Bay within a year.
In a round of Oval Office network interviews, the President took it on the chin for the failed nomination of Tom Daschle. Daschle withdrew his nomination as Heath Secretary because of his own personal tax issues. "I think I messed up. I think I screwed up," Obama said in one interview.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama headed outside the White House, visiting a second grade class at an elementary school in Washington. The First Lady described to a group of children some of the special amenities inside the grand home. "There's a bowling alley and a movie theater! There's a florist shop and a place where they make candy and chocolate!" The children oohed and ahhed in response.
I hate you also!!!
Obama gives America the finger everyday. His goal is to ruin the country as fast as possible. He has a very good start at it already! He mandated millions of dollars recently, to bring Palestinians who openly support Hamas, to the US, as “refugees” from Israeli attacks! Just a few hundred thousand of them, not to worry! Nothing to see here...
And the picture of Pres. Bush without a jacket is from Jan. 22, 2001 (2 days after he took office for the 1st time). Was he wrong also?
What picture would that be?
Well we are all learning more about the current POTUS, not only is he a empty suit he also has no class.
The one I posted in both post #29 and #36.
I don’t see that dated, nor do I see that has anything to do with addressing the American Public...
Just give up trying to justify yourself. You’ve been shown to be a hypocrite.
