Yo, whaddya say dude....decorum: •
noun 1 behaviour in keeping with good taste and propriety.
2 prescribed behaviour; etiquette.
Have you noticed this ongoing slip and slide of grown up decorum at the White House and D.C. in general? Having an American Idol President has truely affected many. It began with the President dressing down in the White House. When he took off the coat and tie, everyone else started sagging their pants. Why take Obama seriously? He doesn't take his job seriously. He doesn't take the position God and Man has put him into seriously. Kind of like what Bill Clinton did just using the White House as a staging event for his popularity, not to mention you know who..cigar...yeah.
This event that happened at the White House yesterday is a primo example of how decorum has been affected:
Cell Phones Interrupt Already Contentious White House Briefing
The White House press briefing this afternoon has been contentious, with some major give-and-take between CNN's Ed Henry, ABC's Jake Tapper and other correspondents as they pressed press secretary Robert Gibbs over the decision today by Pres. Obama not to release detainee abuse photos.
All three cablers were taking it live when the tension was lifted briefly by a series of cell phone rings, first from John Gizzi
of Human Events. "Just put it on vibrate, man, we did this before,"
said Gibbs. When it rang again, Gibbs stepped off the podium, demanded
the phone, and tossed to an aide in the back room. When Gibbs began to
answer the question, CBS' Bill Plante's
phone rang. But Plante ignored Gibbs' request to hand it over. Instead,
Plante, a 28-year White House veteran, left the room to laughter. About
five minutes later Plante returned to his front-row seat.
The so-callled grown up adults of the White House, the so-called grown-up adults of the White House Press Corps, just perfectly displayed 'cause and effect'. They displayed as well, how little they think of themselves, their positions, and this Nation. Their actions are nothing more than that of punk street kids. No wonder this Nation is taking such a fast nose dive as a 'United' States. The so called grown ups are hardly examples to be followed.
