Yes, that’s why I put the word “hidden” in ironic quotes... My point is that whatever we think of Obama and his lack of common sense and taste, those doors have been that way for a long time.

Here’s a picture of the Oval Office in 1981, when Reagan was president. You’ll see that the doors are camoflaged into the wall.

Or how about this one, from the Eisenhower era:

Who ever thought that multiple shades of brown would enhance that room. Where are the professional decorators? Did Michelle choose these new colors? They are so depressing!!!!!

The contrast from the former, very bright room is a symbol of the two contrasting administrations and their respective views on the future of our country.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2010 BUDGET

February 26, 2009

Mr. Obama cautioned that the government would have to make hard choices about spending.

“There are times where you can afford to redecorate your house,” the president said, “and there are times where you need to focus on rebuilding its foundation.”

Why would anyone want to have skin tone leather chairs?

Just creepy!

Scroll down the photos of today’s meeting to see the chairs:
