See my new jacket? Isn’t it a lovely new jacket? The most magnificent jacket in the land! My tailors made it for me with special cloth. You can always tell a good Emperor by whether he wears a jacket in the Oval Office. We make our own reality, too!

(CNN) – It’s the same Oval Office. The same desk. Even the same curtains. But President Obama has already made one major change: Go through eight years of White House photos, and you won’t find one of former President Bush in the Oval Office without his jacket on.

It wasn’t just a personal preference. In the Bush administration, it was a rule: Jackets in the Oval Office – and now, it seems, one of the first Bush-era regulations to get scrapped in the Obama White House.
