Under the Bush administration, required Oval Office attire was a coat and tie at all times.
President Obama, however, prefers to go throughout the day sans suit jacket, making the White House dress code a little more casual.
A front-page article in yesterday's New York Times said President Obama is adding "presidential style" to his list of things to change.
Last weekend, some of Obama's aides showed up in the West Wing wearing coats and ties, while others chose to wear jeans.
Jeans??!?!??!!? Who the eff wears jeans in the White House?????
This was too much for even President Obama, who declared that all weekends will now have "business casual" attire. Last weekend, the president rocked slacks and a gray sweater over a white buttoned-down shirt.
"Workers from the Bush White House are shocked," said the Times article about these new wardrobe choices.
Obama likes to crank the thermostat too, another reason why the suit jackets got nixed.
"He's from Hawaii, O.K.?" said Obama's senior advisor, David Axelrod.
Well that must be nice, while the rest of us only turn our thermostats up just enough so the pipes don't burst. If you're cold in the house I come from, you put on a sweater and have a drink. Some of us need to keep our oil bills down.
