Bill, can you discuss a situation at the white house, with the current administration, or with the President without only providing a disparaging remark? Really, there are questions:

1) was the family notified of the dress requirements when they were invited to tour the west wing?
2) is it an acknowledged policy that is enforced for all visitors and during all previous administrations?
3) was the family upset or is the media jumping on this and making it an issue when it was not for the family?
