They needed the headline more than they needed new drapes.
Watch what he does, not what he says.

Anybody who takes an entourage of 500 people on a trip to an global economic summit can’t possibly be concerned about appearing frugal.

I bet Obama only rejected the 100 grand becuase it was too little. He will get the money from somewhere else. His campaign funds perhaps.

He probably blows $100k for each of those lavish parties he loves to have.
Gimme a break. Not to mention his wasteful use of Air Force One.

Maybe this way, unlike the Clinton’s they can take the furniture legally when they get thrown out in 12.

The O has already spent more time away from the oval than bubba.

I'm thinking of wearing those drapes to the next formal dinner, Laura.

Michael S. Smith is the same man who decorated Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain’s executive office. The same redecoration that the Obamas railed against.
This turd is leaving a Stalinist smear on the White House.

O is not allowed to smoke (or schmoke) inside the White House.

He didn’t accept public campaign funds either.
People either have integrity or they don’t. Obama falls in the don’t category.

Just think, 100K would buy a lot of Styrofoam. But Obambi and MO need more.
They have to put up a huge White Hut facade all around the White Hut to hide what they are destroying!

He won’t need to use campaign money for the furniture. His foreign fans can give him the $$$. It’s a “gift” after all. Limits on contributions be damned. This is OBAMA we are talking about. Rules were meant to be broken. This is the PEOPLE’S House, Y’all. < /sarc >

He will get the money from somewhere else. His campaign funds perhaps. ACORN, seeing as they've suddenly come into a huge amount of money.
To: nickcarraway
They know they need WAY more than $100K. Michelle probably can’t even do the draperies for that.
