If President Obama's visitors ever grow bored, they can always read the mottoes woven into the border of the Oval Office's new rug.
There are five of them, "of meaning to the president," around the perimeter of the rug, according to a White House spokesman, and they definitely are not from Disney. No "whistle while you work," in other words.

Ugly room. It’s perfect for a guy with no history and no personality.

The sayings woven into the rug are:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
ALL ANIMALS ARE CREATED EQUAL BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
and
WHAT’S MINE IS MINE AND WHAT’S YOURS IS NEGOTIABLE

1. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
2. “Arbeit macht frei”
3. “Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.”
4. “The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.”
5. “Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive”
My guesses on the quotations.

Who the heck choose the wallpaper. That’s the real crime here. It looks like something used by hotels that rent rooms by the hour.

Nice, except I still see the eagle insignia in the carpet rather than the Official “O”.

Dreary, Holiday Inn Hotel Lobby comes to mind. Hideous lamps too. Boring, drab rug. Wallpaper is so ghetto.
