Obama shown jacket-free in the Oval Office

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- An official White House photo Wednesday shows U.S. President Barack Obama in the Oval Office with no jacket, something strictly forbidden by his predecessor.

In eight years of official Oval Office photos of former President George W. Bush, not one can be found of him without a suit jacket on, CNN reported.

The broadcaster said it seems to be one of the first of Bush's regulations to be scrapped by Obama.
