No Bible this time. Nobody is going to convince me that this guy isn't a closet Muslim.

Marxists don't believe in any God. So I'm sure he's not a Moslem.

“...phrase hanging over the mantle.”

Phrase? I thought it was a portrait! ; )
I just can’t keep up with you kids nowadays and your crazy lingo jive.

Definitely not Tyler.

“Now, this time pay attention and repeat after me, idiot.”

[ScottinVA]

Look for that portrait over the mantle to be replaced by a “2-Pac Lives” poster.

Took some searching. Benjamin Henry Latrobe—maybe

(Obama thinking to himself) - Man this is great. I don’t even have to swear on that damn bible this time. I have a pocket Koran in my coat. I’ll pretend I’m swearing on that.

That is just the sort of Obama Derangement Syndrome cheapshot that we don't need on Free Republic. Obama didn't have a copy of the Koran in his pocket.

It was Das Kapital.

ROBERTS: “OK, but if anyone asks, you WERE born in Hawaii, right! (Wink-wink, nod-nod)”

"Slightly off subject, but whose portrait is that over the mantle?"

I just called the White House Curator's office, and they said the portrait is of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, an architect (Capitol Building) who worked with Thomas Jefferson. Here's a link to his Wikipedia page:

Latrobe

Wow...I certainly hope you live in the D.C. area. Otherwise I’d hate to think someone blew long distance just over our silly little musings here.

Thank you very much, mass55th!

I live in New York State. Time Warner Digital phone does the trick...unlimited long distance only 29.95 a month.

It's interesting to note that I tried to call the main switchboard at the White House and could only get a recording promoting Obama's Freedom Corps. It told me to stay on the line if I wanted to speak to an operator, but I kept getting kicked back to the recording asking me if I was calling about the Freedom Corps. They must have fired all the live help, or they were all away from their desks saying their Muslim prayers. I hung up and called The White House Historical Association. They gave me the number for the curator's office.

Thanks. I know the name but have never seen a picture of him.

More like Rappers Young Jeezy and Jay-Z.

So help me, ME”

ha.

It is utterly repulsive to see that parasite in the White House. CJ Roberts must have nerves of steel to stand before that reprobate twice in as many days.

[Monsieur Poirot]

Wow! You are good.

Slightly off subject, but whose portrait is that over the mantle?

Someone whose portrait isn’t hanging there today.

Here's what's hanging there now:

Latrobe was much better looking than many of his contemporaries. I’d take a second look.

Here’s more:

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

“.....From 1803, Latrobe redesigned the interior arrangement and style of the south wing. He also rebuilt and redesigned part of the north wing. After the British burned the Capitol on August 24, 1814, Latrobe was again appointed architect to oversee the necessary restoration work. In a dispute over authority at the Capitol, Latrobe resigned, leaving some of the greatest interiors in the history of neoclassicism in America, including the Hall of the House (now National Statuary Hall), the Old Senate Chamber, and the Old Supreme Court Chamber....”

From my above link. He “resigned in a dispute over authority”....

So a dispute in DC is not a modern issue invented by conservatives?? LOL!

Thank you!!
