Much ado about very little, IMO. Reagan dressed casually while working in the Oval Office. So did GHW Bush and W Bush. And of course, x42 did too. There are bigger fish to fry that what 0 is wearing.
President Bush always wore a suit and tie when he was addressing the nation...
I think dress is very important...You are judged by the way you dress as well....Part of the Job Interview...
Agree.
The Oval Office has endured allot over the decades.
Each President puts his own ‘stamp’ on the office (or stain on the carpet, as the case may be).
Reagan would not enter the Oval Office without a coat and tie on.
Very rarely.
I think it's smart to get on Nobama early before he dumbs the code down so he's wearing sweat pants into work every day.
He's very capable of such behavior. He will act out of plain spite.

NObama made many speeches during his campaign about how we couldn’t keep our thermostats at 72, drive what and where we wanted, etc.
Now he sits in the Oval Office, not being respectful of same, with the heat turned waaaay up.
His staff excuses that with “he’s from Hawaii and he likes it warm.
What a putz. A total PUTZ.
As befits a man commonly referred to as “The Great Communicator,” words were sometimes not even needed to convey a principle or feeling. Several associates have recollected the experience of James Baker, Reagan’s first Chief of Staff, entering the Oval Office in shirt sleeves and neatly placing his suit coat on the back of a sofa opposite the President’s desk just a few days into Reagan’s first term. No words were spoken, no verbal reprimand tendered, but the look Reagan shot Baker told him that the formers respect for the Office of the President demanded certain rules of comportment and decorum. From that day forward, no one – not even President Reagan himself – entered the Oval Office without jacket and tie. Such was the reverence Reagan wished all to show the office looked to as the Leader of the Free World.
