Wouldn’t have to worry about the Trumps abusing the staff and privilege like the Obamas or Clintons.

I laughed at one of the rag magazines at the grocery checkout featuring a cover story that Trump’s homes are more opulent than the White House. Not that Trump’s style is my taste (even if I had his money), but the White House isn’t that grand. It is an honor to serve as president, but the White House I imagine isn’t the most comfortable place to live. I would prefer to live at Blair House like Truman did during the renovation of the WH.

Great.   Love it.   And outside, there's a splendid statue of Ben Franklin, another American entrepreneur and patriot.   How appropriate.

A few weeks ago I posted images and a short essay on FR that features the new Post Office. Lady Freedom Weeps: A Picture Essay on the Hope of America's Restoration.

Especially in DC. The 19th century styles are much nicer than the Brutalist structures.

I hope Obama passes that sign everyday.
