#1 OK, there are a bunch of people from the health profession who show up at the Rose Garden without proper attire. I go to a wedding, I dress according to the people hosting the event, I would imagine as much for a visit to the White House to meet the President, and they forgot their lab coats as directed to wear? And its not that the makup corp had a handful but many extra lab coats available. Could it be that many of them attended as successful representatives and not as props on purpose? I would feel disrespected to show up and be made to wear the same costume as the people who try to sell toothpaste and chewing gum on TV instead of my own accomplishments.

The other side of the coin, did the producer(s) think that if the attendees were not in costume viewers would doubt they were in the medical field? And what does that say? Imagine, dedicating yourself to the medical profession and in honor of a lifetime of work highlighted by a personal invite to the Rose Garden turned into a stereotyped cut-out.
