There's a higher standard, and then there's over seneitivity to the point of ridiculousness. The "Okay" symbol (pointer and thumb in a cirkle, the other finger extended) is the equivalent of the middle finger in some countries, should the President be forbidden from ever using that? Of course not, he's an American, speaking in America. Now, if he were VISITING Oslo, Norway and made the gesture, that's a whole different story. But if he's in this country, and it means "Texas Longhorns" in this country, then by all means use it.
