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.

Mika makes lots of ignorant statements. And she grunts in a liberal language all her own too.

She is reflexively liberal to everything. It’s so tedious.

I’m not concerned about shirt sleeves. Its when he wears a turned around ball cap, sweat pants and Air Jordans, that I’ll have a problem.

I realize it was the 70’s, when plaid ruled, but the pants are more offensive than the lack of a suit jacket.

He’s talking to Miss Cleo.

And he wore a white bowtie and white pique waistcoat with a standard dinner jacket! Where was his tailcoat???!!! I’m outraged!!!

/sarc—exactly—is this really worth getting all worked up over?

Didn’t Clinton wear blue jeans in the Oval office?

Blue boxer shorts, to match the stained blue dress.

That fat pig had real respect for the Oral Office.

Theory: Obama and his minions will do everything they can to destroy traditions that are unwritten rules. The trashing of these traditions will be the equivalent of a dog urinating on his territory. In human terms, it’s a Marxist showing he can and will destroy many things we cherish (including our national security).

My take on it is, unless he shows up naked, with a clown nose, scuba fins, smeared from head to toe in orange marmalade......

......I'm just not that worried about it.

He can’t wear a suit coat because it would be empty ..............

On the other hand, the modus operandi for the Obama regime is 'style over substance'. It may be a childish thing to attack him on, but since so many of his acolytes apparently struggle to attain a level of understanding as advanced as that of a naive child, such attacks may turn out to be effective ones.

The war needs to be waged on many fronts. Election day demonstrated that for millions and millions of voters, substance (policies, solutions, philosophies) meant nothing, while style meant everything. So attacking him on 'style' is certainly fair game.

Barack is extremely disrespectful. The ink has not dried on any of the Executive Orders before he shows that he was not raised with any manners.

The President of the United States was once an honorable office. Bill Clinton almost ruined that and now Barack is going to finish the job.

This shows the world he is someone's puppet. NO respect, NO Class, and I bet he is wondering what he is doing. Let him keep on with his disrespect and SOCIALIST agenda, because 2010 will be easier to take Congress back than first predicted.

"Pat probably forgot he once worked for Gerry. "

Wow. Those pants alone guaranteed his defeat in '76. Talk about an end to our "National Nightmare".

"and the actress Markie Post"

Whom allegedly "Lewinsky'd" the Bubba long before it became fashionable.

Ha! No kiddin’. I saw one of those “I miss Bill” bumper stickers the other day and thought “What a dumbass,” but maybe they’re actually onto something.

[TankerKC]

But you guys come across as petty and childish attacking him for not wearing his suit jacket while he is working.

I want to know where his Powder Wig is!

In fairness, everyone has tried to forget the Gerry Show in America. So much so that they let the “Peanut Gallery Hour” go on in that time slot before finally upgrading the programming to the very respected and admired “Ronny Time”!
