It's all about standards.

When George Bush was President, as a sign of respect for the office, he allowed no one to enter the Oval Office without a suit and tie. Obama works in shirtsleeves. Just one more sign of the declining standards of our country.

I agree with Andrew Card who said, "There should be a dress code of respect. When you have a dress code in the Supreme Court and a dress code on the floor of the Senate, floor of the House, I think it's appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the president."

On the other hand, when the President is Barack Obama, it's a little hard to summon up any respect.
