Pat Buchanan has seen many a president move through the Oval Office, but never one dressed the way Pres. Obama was yesterday. On today’s Morning Joe, Buchanan reacted to a photo on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Pat, you took note of the front page of the Wall Street Journal. Something doesn’t seem right to you.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Pat, you’re a little concerned.
BRZEZINSKI: He’s very concerned. Pat, I’m going to hold it up.
PAT BUCHANAN: I’m surprised.
BRZEZINSKI: You’re surprised?
BUCHANAN: Yeah. In the Oval Office, the President of the United States. I have never seen a president in shirtsleeves in the Oval Office.

People, people, be thankful that the
“President” is not wearing his baseball cap backwards!
Yet!!!
Perception wise, I think it’s a great photo. Most folks don’t really work with their suit coats on, and he’s giving the impression that he’s working (with an empty desk top).
Not true. Various of his minions in fact report Clinton would wear his “jogging” clothes ( read sweats) in the oval office during some meetings.
Who are those people? I recognize the Lincoln bedroom but who the hell are those low rent clowns?
Oh, it is Michelle.
You would think her background would give her an internal check and balance from making these ignorant statements.
Odumbarse in the Oval Office reminds me of that Lilly Tomlin skit where she played a little girl sitting in a huge chair.
Why would anyone be surprised when a leftist shows no respect for tradition, conventional wisdom, contracts, Constitutions or wedding vows?
Those rules were made in a time when we weren’t as informed as we are now, so we don’t need to apply them to us today.
The classless a$$ hole must think he is in Chicago hood
I really feel this sort of criticism is a stretch.
I’m more concerned about the policies he intends to implement, rather than his wardrobe.
Now, he doesn't have to listen to anybody...and will do as he damn pleases. He's very arrogant.
There is a room just off the Oval Office which acts as the President’s study. It’s less formal. I gather that for most Presidents, the Oval Office is reserved primarily for formal meetings and ceremonies while this smaller, less formal room is where he can take his jacket off and have smaller sessions, put his feet up while he reads something, etc.
Darn, I miss Ronald Reagan. Told he always wore his suit jacket in the Oval Office.
Short sleeves?
Clinton(follywood)pals Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and the actress Markie Post.
Bill Clinton used to wear his “jogging shorts” in the Oval Office.
This is a stretch. Makes us look petty. Policy is what matters to me. I am sure other presidents have been in that office without a jacket. Perhaps, not for official working photos, but without one nonetheless. Let’s not get silly here.
Could care less what Pat Buchanan thinks about anything.
Now that’s a great story. Shows the depth of respect Ronald Reagan had for this country.
He looks more like a guy selling timeshares than a president.
When I said “paper weights”...I didn’t mean cardboard barbells. Is everyone a dumbbell around here or is it just me??
