All this criticism is RACIST!!!!
I assumed that the rug would contain verses from the Koran.
Where are the Samburu and Masai Shields?

Yeah, Clinton's Oval Office was truly hideous.
Obama's actually seems pretty decent to me. Of recent Presidents' I did like George HW Bush's the best.

The decorators did a decent job, considering 1) too much beige and 2) the Oval Office didn’t need redecorating. Can we put the old rug back? Can we put a new President in it?

Come to think of it, the White House is a cheap motel. They pay the guests to stay there.

Why is this in the ‘Opinion’ section of the Washington Post?
This is factual reporting. It is an objectively verified screw up, on the part of the WH. Not an “opinion” piece.
If it were President Bush - it would NOT be hidden in the ‘OpEd’ pages,it would be there on the front page....
right next to the story headlined
“U.S. Unemployment rate rises again, millions continue to suffer.”

To: SuziQ
It's ironic that Abraham Lincoln's quote "government of the people, by the people, and for the people", would be woven into the rug of the Oval Office. Barack Obama has no interest in what 'the people' think.
My suspicion is that he had that put on the rug so he could get his jollies stepping on it.

“But if I were President, I would be so scared I would probably be drunk most of the time. So the yellow carpets would hide the stains.”
LOL! I sure wouldn’t want the job! For the same reason...
