substance vs style - part 2

The chief of staff of the previous administration saw the picture of President Obama sitting at the Oval Office desk without a jacket, had a childish fit, and Wednesday went on TV to whine about it...

"...Ronald Reagan and both President Bushes treated the Oval Office with tremendous respect. They treated the Office of the Presidency with tremendous respect. And some of that respect was reflected in how they expected people to behave, how they expected them to dress when they walked into the Oval Office. And yes, I'm disappointed to see the casual, laissez faire, short sleeves, no shirt and tie, no jacket, kind of locker room experience that seems to be taking place in this White House and the Oval Office."

So, going jacket-less is a symbol of disrespect for the office and the presidency. Knowing this, the former president always had a jacket on when in the Oval Office. Oh really?!! Then who is this sitting with with staff secretary Harriet Miers IN THE OVAL OFFICE?

Ooops! How did *that* get out??

Either the previous president disrepected the Office and the Presidency, a double standard exists, or Card did again what members of the previous administration did far too much over the past 8 years. I believe the latter is true.

Knowing what the truth really is, Card prefers to tell bold-face lies. The dregs of the Republican party that did so much damage to the Nation and the world would be doing us all a huge favor if they'd just shut up and scurry back under the neocon rocks from under which they came. The sooner, the better.
