Matthews: 'Precious' ex-Bush aide 'dainty' about how Obama dresses

Former Bush aide Andrew Card has gotten the attention of a few cable networks because he recently criticized the way president Obama dressed in the Oval Office. Card thinks the president should always wear a jacket while at his desk.

"Isn't former Bush chief of staff Andy Card getting a bit dainty?" MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews asked.

CNN recalled a picture of the former president without a jacket in the Oval Office.

"Perhaps Card did not see this picture -- oh, yeah, of President Bush taken two days after his inauguration. It clearly shows Bush in the Oval Office there, but not wearing a coat. Perhaps Card is also unaware Presidents Ford, Carter and Clinton were photographed in the Oval Office without wearing a jacket. In fact, Clinton was photographed wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a flannel shirt in another shot," said CNN's Kiran Chetry.

Matthews noted a few "smart decisions" Bush administration officials made while "smartly dressed."

"Starting a war over a baseless argument," Matthews noted. "Bringing a government in surplus into adding more national debt than all the previous presidents put together. Oh, yeah. Letting an economic boom under Clinton become an economic catastrophe. If that's dressing for success, I'd prefer shirt sleeves."

:shrug:

of "fashion police" and deserves to be called out on his hypocrisy.

And has no perspective of what is important.

Seriously, if I want fashion opinions I'll tune into E!

Glad they did one thing "smart".

a pic of bush in dumb clothes.

His mommy didn't dress him but his aides sure made sure photo op boy was ready for every occasion.

Whatever 'smart' dressing is, there was no way to cosmetically improve his lack of smarts.

him dress himself that day.:silly:

in the Oval Office. Obama never lied about his "dress code." Just one more lie by Bush (brought on by a member of his own admin.).

I laughed. Thought Tweety scored one for the good guys.

in that room (on the floor for everyone to walk on).

I guess Card wore his American Flag lapel pin on his PJs?

It's about appearance rather than reality.

Speaks volumes of Card.

who gives a RAT'S ASS about that worthless little worm. His 15 minutes of INFAME is over.
