While President Obama vacationed in Martha's Vineyard, the Oval Office got a makeover, but one quote on the new carpet is wrongly attributed.

His major failing is that he screws up everything.

Actually, I don’t care about the quote — I just think the whole Oval Office looks ugly. Someone give it an Extreme Makeover and hurry!

ABSOLUTELY.....!!!!!!!! Was the carpet weaver supposed to look up the AUTHOR of the quote they gave to him to weave and double check to make CERTAIN that Martin Luther King said the words?

DO THEY THINK WE ARE REALLY THAT STUPID? DO THEY ACTUALLY THINK AMERICA THINKS THE WEAVER IS RESPONSIBLE? Wonder what they intend to pay him to make him take this one on the chin? Hope it is enough to make um sweat.

'At least he is not yet quoting from Mao’s little red book.'

Operative word being 'yet'. We have gotta start closing down this carny sideshow of a regime starting two months from now, or America as we, our parents, and their parents before them knew it will be gone. And I have no doubt that they'll try every illegal, oppressive, subversive, even treasonous means of trying to prevent us from doing that, so gird thy loins: it's going to be bloodier than Omaha Beach during the holidays. I'll say it in advance in case one of us isn't around: Merry Christmas.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Sadly I believe you are correct. No baseball, football, running around playing cowboys or camping.

Why would ANYONE in the WH blame the rugmaker? That is the issue. It is sleazy and undignified that the person responsible for sending the order to the weaver is not taking responsibility for what amounts to nothing more than an error in a quote attribution. Geeeez. Our White House is CHALK FULL OF WIMPS!

Obama knew. pRes_ _ent Obama is nothing but a sociopath
who blames everyone else but himself.

"Obama Stopped Using MLK's Oval Office Rug Quote
After Notified in 2008 of 'Borrowed' Origin
The news of Barack Obama's new Oval Office rug containing
a favorite quote used by Obama that he attributed to Martin Luther King
was taken from a sermon by 19th century Unitarian minister Theodore Parker
has taken an interesting twist with research by Freeper Enchante (and Hot Air)
showing that in 2008 Obama stopped using the quote in stump speeches
after his presidential campaign was informed its origin
by Unitarian Rev. Matt Tittle"

Probably not. The Republican President in 2012 can just remove all the Kenyan’s crap from the WH.

If we pick on Obama for every trivial slip-up, it only diverts attention from his major failings.

Ignorant invalid quotes on the Oval Office floor covering are not trivial....It's the Oval Office for goodness sakes and it represents our country.....

Incompetence defines this administration.....in everything big or small. This is a trait that I have witnessed for 50 years.....attention to detail is the hallmark of success.

I’m 100% the rug company didn’t just put down whatever it wanted on the rug. You know they were told exactly WHAT to write on there.

And why wouldn’t they?

Since when does reason enter into their blaming Bush?

A tapestry of lies. But it should be true.
