Barack Obama is not following the same tradition as shown in the photo below.
According to a New York Times report:
The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, Barack Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket.
The explanation was given that Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.
“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”
Well, he did promise change didn’t he?
At the second link below we are reminded of a clip from one of the more memorable speeches made by Barack Obama on the campaign trail:
We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.
Why didn't the New York Times reference his obvious hypocrisy in the story at the first link below? The obvious answer - the Times will not print anything negative regarding the man they helped elect.
