SPOKANE, Wash. -- Family of Medal of Honor recipient Vernon Baker was denied access to the White House's West Wing on Saturday, a day after the World War II hero was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Baker's widow, Heidy, and grandson, Vernon Pawlik, 10, were denied entry because the boy was wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
 
A ten year old wearing shorts and a tee shirt in September in DC. How dare he disrespect The Obama like that.

:rolleyes: Yeah, the sick, twisted admin that doesn't get it was the one who created the code in 2007. Now who would that be?

Flip Flop Flap at the White House

July 26, 2007 11:04 AM

ABC News' Ann Compton Reports: Apparently VIP visitors to the West Wing of the White House have to dress up, even to see the empty Oval Office without the President around. A new sign –- banning jeans and flip flops -- cropped up for all to see at the northwest gate of the White House where staff, press, and appointments enter the West Wing.

In no-nonsense tones, it reminds that guests expecting to be given a glimpse of the Cabinet Room or Roosevelt Room won't get in the door if they are wearing tank tops, shorts, or even sneakers.

West Wing Tour Dress Code
Those not appropriately dressed and wearing the following will not be allowed to tour the West Wing: jeans, sneakers, shorts, mini skirts, t-shirts, tank tops, flip flops

Summer tourists, who are usually decked out in exactly those items, don't get in at all. Public tours entering from the East gate were suspended after Sept 11th, although some lucky visitors can snag tickets to a self-guided walk through from their Congressional representatives. For a look at the East Room and the state floor, there is no dress code in place.

Sorry lass....this didn't happen in 2007...It happened yesterday....this constant 'blame Bush" shit is getting old.....
The family had been invited to tour the West Wing...they were not tourists and they were not staff, they were guests....and the kid was 10 years old....

FBI Agent Norris said, someone in a position of authority should have stepped forward to assess the circumstances on Saturday. “You would think there would be someone there to stand up and say, ‘I’m a supervisor and we can make an exception” for a Medal of Honor recipient and the grandson of another, he said.

Ouch.

Reminds me of when bravo tried to paint Obama (yet again) as some sort of terrorist sympathizer for holding a "new" honorary dinner for some Islamic holiday, and it turned out that Bush had been doing it annually the whole time he was in office....
 
Remember when GWB complained that Clinton did not require enough formality in the WH?


That said, the Obama Admin should have made an exception.
