Photos of jacketless Obama at White House may signal subtle culture shift

I’ll bet clothing retailers are drooling at the thought of President Obama setting a standard for buiness casual dress in the near future. The stiff traditional coat and tie standards that Bush set in the White House are gone forever.

You’ve got admit he seems like a pretty relaxed sort of guy. Some are atributing that to his being raised in Hawaii where, as we all know, Aloha shirts rule and everything else is optional from shorts to sandals.

Punctuality is something else that has changed. Bush was known to have locked people out of meetings for not showing up early. President Obama on the other hand shows up early, but if there is still something to discuss, the meeting’s not over til he’s satisfied with the progress.

You must admit this is the ultimate work from home position. Unlike most American families where everyone get’s up and rushes out the door on their own schedule and few have time for the traditional family breakfast, President Obama eats breakfast with his wife and kids, sees the kids off to school and then commutes downstairs to work. You have to admit though that having white house staff to cook and serve breakfast for the first family is the exception to the average American family that makes this possible.

I wonder what the mother inlaw does?
