Since when, does what kind of shoe you have have anything to do with showing respect for The President(only capitalized, because I have nightmares of that fat lady screaming to me it's a proper noun if I don't...) anyways, heres the story, what do you think? In my opininion, it doesn't matter if you don't wear shoes when seeing The President, or anyone for that matter.


Flip-Flops

Uh...you are supposed to be a little respectful towards your nations leader...

I know if I was going to the white house, I'd be wearing at least a shirt, tie, and dress shoes.

Dude, I am pissed at the news agencies.

You're supposed to call him Mister President, or even just President Bush, not "So, Bush" when asking him a question like he's your buddy.

He was elected fairly, give him his due respect, I neevr saw anyone go "SO, Bill" It was always "President Clinton"

And I understand that, sort of, but since when is what kind of foot-accesory you wear respectful or disrespectful? I mean you don't tell a guest in your home to go home because they have on Air Jordan's, and not Shaq's, I mean it's ridiculous, The President is becoming Oprah...

I'd wear whatever I felt like, aka regular every day clothing if I went to the white house or met anyone important.
The desire for polyester is just to powerful.

I dont hate him but I dont think he is better than any other person. He is human just like the rest of us. Regardless of how ordained he thinks he is.

Exactly! I mean, do you know what set apart Osama and Saddam(sp? nm I think that's right..) People began to have so much respect, that they began to believe they were Allah's missionaries, sent to destroy the other religions and such, or so is my understanding, and if that's not true/ you don't believ it, then what about all of those cult leaders?

And yes, I do wear flip flops to a nice restaurant, it's who I am.

Not out of respect to them, out of respect to what they are doing, they are there to protect me, so I can live my American Dream, and I take advantage of this, and thank them for giving me this chance by showing respect to this.

If I was a service man under his command or in some service under him. Since I am currently a civilian he doesnt rank me. The most respect he deserves is Mr. since he is so much older...

You respect the position, regardless of the person currrently holding it. It is common courtesy to do so.
