    And bowing to other foreign powers is disrespectful to some.
    Ah, the "reset button" that was mistranslated. Yeah, you would think that if anyone would be able to translate something, the diplomatic corps would be the ones to do it correctly.

    Speaking of attitude and respect for the White House and office, I found this interesting from the Drudge Report. You can sure tell the Dems/libs have moved in.

    Is the desk in the Oval Office the only historical piece of furniture in the Oval Office or even the White House? I appreciate that some might feel it's disrespectful to put one's feet on the desk, but I don't think it's very practical. As far as attire in the Oval Office, I will agree with the coat and tie if it is during normal business hours, but if it's like those pictures of Pres. Reagan in which he seems to be getting some paperwork done with no people present, then I don't see the problem with no coat and tie.

    Re: Obama feet on desk photo

    No, most of the presidents with the exception of the two Bushes wear or have worn casual business attire on weekends/off hours. My only point, which devolved into the 4 or 5-page thread, is that Bush 41 is, in my opinion, the only president in recent memory to really revere the office. That was not and is not a slight against the other presidents (except Clinton, who for obvious reasons I believe didn't respect it) -- I just think that of the many things I've read about Bush 41, he took special care to ensure people dressed and acted formally in the Oval Office. Again, just a personal belief that I hold about this particular president.

    Not sure how the whole thing spiraled out of control; apparently people believe that business dress is no longer the norm. I simply contend that in Washington, DC--particularly in the Oval Office, it still is.

    No doubt business attire is changing. I think the differences of opinions are whether or not the Oval Office is just another office to conduct business. You, and others, don't think so, and I certainly understand your point. I'm not sure where I stand on the issue. I probably lean more in your favor. However, I'm not sure I give the desk the same reverence as you and others do. It seems to me that if it's that historically important that you can't put your feet on it, then it should be displayed somewhere and not run the risk of getting ink marks from a pen or any other chance at being scratched from binders or any other common workplace paraphernalia that one uses in the course of doing his/her job.

    That Resolute desk is so sturdy and well built you could put your feet on it all day long and not hurt it. Solid oak. As for business dress, coat and tie during business hours. If Obama wants to work in the Oval Office at 2 in the morning in his PJs that's fine with me.

    Come on, Bigdog. Growing up playing football in the yard with your friends, you've never piled on before? It's fun. We used to have 7 or 8 guys extra on the pile that weren't even in on the tackle. And you know how we can be on this board with intepretation of posts.

    What do you mean "interpretation" of posts? I suppose you are insinuating that our misinterpretations are Bush's fault, too? I suppose joakes could interpret posts just fine. After all, he "resigned." An admin should ban you. Welcome to my ignore list. This should go to the pit. I think...

    Oh, wait. Sorry dirty. That was a kneejerk. Nevermind.
