have been replaced with two custom-made sofas of brown cotton that resembles velvet.
Still trying to come up with some of that slave ancestor cred.

This is more tasteful than I expected. Honestly, I expected animal prints and purple metal flake.

It doesn't look “presidential”. Actually it's a bit “blah”.

It looks like one of Moochell’s dresses with the wainscoting boob-belt.

Why do some men just love the brown/gold earth tones? These people are Vulgarians.

Ah, another “charity”. This time it is the White House Historical Association. As I have been doing for many years here, I invite you to take a look at data on another nonprofit. In this case we have a very well funded organization ($30+ million in assets) that pays it’s main handler about $390,000 a year. That is what he was paid in 2008 which is the latest IRS 990 filing. The entity apparently has a lot of volunteers. So many people are listed as “directors” it is almost comical. It appears that this is one of those Washington nonprofits that churns directors in and out so people can say “I was a director of the White House Historical Association”.
So here you go, take a look under the hood. I present to you the latest IRS 990 filing by the White House Historical Association:

You can tell this room was designed by a faggy decorator. They love all shades of brown from dark to light, it's almost their trademark.
The room now looks like the lobby of a hunting lodge in the North Woods. All it needs to be complete is a couple of fake potted palms set in old car tires plus some antlered deer heads and a few rusting rifles hanging on the walls.
There's no doubt that Obama will provide the guests in this room with ample servings of hot cocoa and carmelcorn.

“That desk isn't for work. It supports Skippy's feet.”
So true. It allows Skippy to show us the soles of his shoes, in lieu of “the finger”, as a muslim display of hatred and disrespect toward someone.
Skippy thinks he is gettin’ over on us with his fingers and his feet...while we get under his skin.

Ugly Bland indeed. The look is old and not inspiring. Did they change the flag colors, also?
To: TexasCajun
"A few weeks ago Drudge had a picture of the White House with a big tarp draped over the outside of the oval office." The first thing I thought of when I saw that picture is that they were spraying the place because of all the insects that 0bama attracts (flies, bees, etc). Now I'm sure of it. If this is the case let me ne the first to call the scandal Fumigate.

Two views of what the Oval Office looked like when Obummer moved in Jan 2009:
It went from tasteful to tacky.
To: 9YearLurker
Just looked and yep, I was right. Boring as hell.
To: Cicero; Interesting Times; cripplecreek; Armaggedon; null and void
But I must say, as the article suggests, it sure looks pretty dismal. Brown upon brown upon brown. Kind of like Inauguration day.
