I do hope they have the grace and good sense to save the lovely rug that Laura Bush designed so that it can go to the Bush library in Dallas. Knowing the 0s, they probably incinerated it.

And I shudder to think what the Oval Office looks like now, especially if Michelle or her handlers had any say in it. I hope grownups were in charge.

He wants to boost his audience. All the interior decorators will now be watching! I won’t be!

Is what’s-his-name going to have an American flag in the background while he and TOTUS speak tonight?

I’m not sure if we’re allowed to copy the photo here. But I must say, as the article suggests, it sure looks pretty dismal. Brown upon brown upon brown. Very dull.

And instead of a TV screen, the folks on one sofa get to stare at the folks on the other sofa. What fun. . . . NOT.

It’s a little bland, but it’s not bad. I had feared far worse.

Not my taste.
The side chairs are ugly.
The carpet looks as if it was placed on the floor just so they could get rid of “Bush's Carpet.”
The coffee table looks as if it belongs under a humongous Christmas Tree.

They need some giraffe, lion and elephant figurines. Seriously, it looks like Africa colors. Blech!

When we kick Obama’s sorry criminal a$$ out in ‘12, they should put it back EXACTLY as it was.
The Marxist/Muslim has desecrated an historic room.

It could have been worse. I was expecting red & green (a dash of purple and orange thrown in). As it is it’s not a shrine to Islam and really, that’s about as good as we can hope for. He’ll blend into the decor perfectly btw.

Well, as for the Oval Office and WH in general, I won’t say that it should be “bulldozed,” (see link below) but I do think that the Presidential Palace on Penna Ave should become a thing of the past—likewise the 50 mini-palaces in the several/many states.

Many reasons, but for one thing it is just not representative of a Republic.

Let them get their strokes serving we the people, and “their” (meaning the USA) country.

“Americans have been taught monstrous lies about Abraham Lincoln and all school books who portray him as some sort of hero should be burned. The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC should be bull dozed along with FDRs. How many Americans know Lincoln literally tore up the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights?”

Hmmm- room is brown and white. Just like Obama. And just as boring.

That is ugly. Anyone have a picture of it before the redecorating?
