Extra points are awarded for drawing blood during the construction and a big bonus for an ER visit. Hugh penalty for ER trips after it’s done, especially if it’s the kids who go.

Holy Carbon Credits, Batman! Tell me they didn’t drive that thing all the way down from South Dakota.

You ask a good question. Are there braile instructions for the sight impaired?

Based on all the propaganda out there, it would seem that if it is not made of bamboo it is not “green”.

I demand to know why this new toy is not made of bamboo!

Was union labor used to install it?
Was a teamster driving the Rainbow delivery truck?

Will anyone in the media call the Rainbow phone number (1-800-RAINBOW or 1-800-724-6269) to find out how much the an American family would expect to pay for this toy retail? (I called, and I was quoted a price of $8499.00 installed, plus tax.)

How do we know the price was not discounted based on the office he holds?

Funny how much better Nixon’s administration looks after the last 20 years of D.C. lowlights.

I'll say it again...
I sure do hope the White House has complied with the rules and regulations governing playgrounds. It would be a shame to have them not be in compliance. Somebody might call Children’s Protective Services.

LOL

I think Obama is also going a long ways towards improving W's image, much as the peanut man did for Nixon.

He paid for it I am sure. Also those who are complaining that if one of the kids gets a broken arm, we will pay for it. The only way we pay for someone in the First Family who gets hurt, it is only Obama. The family is under the medical insurance policy that he gets taken out of his check every month just like the military, congress and other government workers.

Naw! Too dangerous for the Braindead with footinmouth disease:-) His Protective Detail have been directed to not allow PLUGS anywhere near the swingset. The Ballirina has been seen doing some Fairy Jumps around it however when taking a breat from his Chief of Staff duties:-(

Let's see how many photos come out in the next six months (Spring/Summer) of the kids playing on the swing set with their corresponding bevy of Secret Service bodyguards in tow.
It is visible from outside of the fences, isn't it?

I’m surprised they let those pictures out showing all of the patches of global warming on the ground. What kid uses a swing set in the middle of winter?

I assume this was a no-bid contract.

These are not that expensive, and I think it would be appropriate for government dollars to be used, especially if it stays at the White House after Obama leaves office.

Piper Palin will be 11 and Trig will be 4 when they take control of the swing set.

Poor little rich kids. Aren’t there any public playgrounds in DC? Or are none of the neighborhood kids allowed to play with them?
