Flip Flops in the white house spark controversy

Okay, so maybe I'm a bad person, or maybe I'm terribly horribly disrespectful, or maybe I'm just plain clueless, but Um...OH NO WE JUST CAN'T WEAR FLIP FLOPS IN FRONT OF THE PRESIDENT! Whatever will the neighbors think?

*Sigh* I dunno, I just *Don't* get what is so horrible about this. Can anyone explain to me why wearing sandals to the white house would be "disrespectful"??? All issues with Shrub aside, do you honestly think he was all that concerned with their footwear? This is one instance in which I would actually like to hear what he had to say about the matter...if nothing else, out of sheer curiousity.

I dunno, I've just always been confused by what is considered "ettiquette" or whatever. I'm not getting started on that rant.

yeah, but for a job interview, it's a little different...the purpose is that you're hoping that the company is going to take you under their employ and pay you money :-P
