(via JB) This NYT piece is really cool. Sounds like W. was a prude, and Obama is loosening things up around there, like easing the dress code, starting the day later, and keeping it casual in the Oval Office.
Under Mr. Bush, punctuality was a virtue. Meetings started early — the former president once locked Secretary of State Colin Powell out of the Cabinet Room when Mr. Powell showed up a few minutes late — and ended on time. In the Obama White House, meetings start on time and often finish late.
...So [Obama] issued an informal edict for “business casual” on weekends — and set his own example.
