Barack Obama already (further) tarnishing Bush legacy
Why, Barack Obama, aren't you just the sassiest! On his very first day in office the new president is already breaking some of his predecessor's long-standing rules. President Obama was spotted behind his Oval Office desk without wearing a jacket, a definite no-no in the Bush administration. Talk about the audacity of shirtsleeves!
Though the shift in dress code may be an attempt to make the Oval Office a more comforting, welcoming environment, some pundits are already making fun. ("Still unclear which press staffer will be the first to show up in flip-flops," says Politico's Ben Smith.) But the outgoing president was known as something of a stickler for rules in his sacred space. What are some of the other laws laid down by Bush? Roll your mouse over the image to find out.
