Flip-flops fashionable at White House

I saw this story over at Slack LaLane the other day, but didn't think much of it, I figured Ace was just interested since he's a Northwestern guy, but now I'm hearing about it all over the place. Who the fuck cares? I'm sure there are people that obsess over what to wear in a particular situation and would be upset to find out that they had made the wrong choice, but I'm kind of glad to see people who don't get caught up in something stupid like that and wear what they're comfortable wearing. I've heard it's disrespectful. To who? The President? Let'scompletely forget for a second how little he deserves anyone's respect in the first place, but even if he did, how is this disrespectful? I always hated stupid rules like that, like not wearing a hat indoors or whatever. Who gives a shit? Who does it hurt?
