Fashion Watch

I had no idea that what the President of the United States wears while he's working was such a newsworthy item.

Apparently the fact that Obama is walking the the halls of the White House in only a shirt and tie (no jacket) has Washington watchers in a tither.

An "in the know" member of the White House staff let slip that Obama hates the cold and has the thermostats in the White House set for tropical, making jackets inappropriate attire. The in the know source reminded the media that Obama is from Hawaii after all.

Now, I have nothing but respect for a man who despises the cold, but isn't this the same guy who parked his car in Chicago a few weeks ago?

I do see a potential national agenda item here though.

I think that President Obama should issue an executive order declaring every Friday to be Hawaiian Shirt Friday and mandating that businesses across the country must set their thermostats to eighty-five degrees every Friday so that employess can be comfortable in the federally required Hawaiian dress.

Of course we'll all need a check from the government to go buy Hawaiian shirts - but I think that should easily fit in with the jump start the economy programs.
