“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.? He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”
Obama advisor David Axelrod on his boss’s Oval Office habits.
The piece also has a few enlightening (catty?) notes on George W. Bush‘s coat-and-tie policy:
“I’ll never forget going to work on a Saturday morning, getting called down to the Oval Office because there was something he was mad about,” said Dan Bartlett, who was counselor to Bush. “I had on khakis and a buttoned-down shirt, and I had to stand by the door and get chewed out for about 15 minutes. He wouldn’t even let me cross the threshold.”
