Response to Original message |
| 22. Handed out or not, the lab coats in the Rose Garden did look odd - |
 |
- and made the event appear to be only a photo op. Let's face it, doctor's don't wear lab coats in public and they certainly wouldn't wear one to the White House. Personally, I thought it a bit much and took the focus off the event itself and onto the lab coats. It reminded me of Bush's Iraq fake turkey Thanksgiving photo op - a comparison I don't think that anyone would want.

 WH hands out White coats for Docs who forgot them for the photo-0p |
