I agree and was going to post something similiar. It is only an 8 year job (at most - hopefully only 4 for this couple) and they have a job to do. The image they uphold is a very important part of the job. Regular professions have the same high level of public perception and they have to follow the guidelines too. If the O's don't like it then don't run for office.

I wasn't impressed when Mrs. Carter went barefoot either. I think the position demands a little higher standard.

I didn't say it was "right."

I said I Don't G/A/F.

Nothing I can do to change it, so why worry about it?

I do agree with Gordon that I could care care less what they are wearing but...but where I do disagree is that there has been some progress in the past year O has been in office undoing what the pinhead before him started. We will just have to see how it turns out.

...and that's really all I care about...progress!

Window dressing is, well....window dressing.....

What makes him any better? Is it that the media is his lap dog and only reports the good stuff like he is their favorite celebrity or something? You should watch FOX news a little more to get some of the facts that are not reported by the majority of the liberal media. He has done the same things in the war as the "Pinhead" as you put it (including ramping up troop numbers after campaign promises to remove them) as well as send the nation into the worst debt EVER.

I am of the opinion that we need to clean house and get all new Senators, Congressmen with mandatory term limits and then elect a new type of president than the last few!

First, I will TOTALLY AGREE with your last statement

We really need to clean house and just start over! And you're right. So far we've not done well (IMO) on our presidential choices Mandatory term limits?

U Betcha! And Anti-Lobbying laws after thier term for 5-10 years on top of it!

As for the news media...

FOX news is biased one way, others are biased another. We've seen it through every previous administration.

The only way you can tell that a news person is on the "level"...is if thier on a slab!!

Bush had his "lap dogs" as did Clinton, Regan, Bush Sr. and now Mister "O."

Conservative talk show host slant issues one way, liberals another.

If everyone would quit "slanting" viewpoints, stop trying to achieve thier own personal agendas, and start thinking about what's best for our country across party lines, we'd be a hell of a lot better off!!
