44 Turns up the heat and disses history
Greetings! It seems 44 is using the same desk as Bush 43, and he has not yet redecorated the Oval Office. Perhaps some of you remember the care with which Laura Bush located porcelain plates representing Presidencies over the years and displayed them in the Oval Office. So when asked about redecorating the Oval Office, The Prez says “I gotta do something about those plates! I am just not a plate kinda guy!” OMG Once again the Chicago guy has no appreciation for the past Presidents it seems. And then he tells the staffers it is totally OK not to wear a sport coat – that shirtsleeves and chinos are fine. OMG More than one of the Bush staffer literally was lectured about the respect for the Office as a shrine – meaning a sport coat jacket always even on weekends. But, not 44. He wears shirtsleeves and has turned up the heat literally. No surprise the surfer guy loves the heat. One unnamed staffer: “you could grow orchids in there!” . Everyone, pace yourself and I will do same. Adios
