Obama Wednesday afternoon unveiled a much bigger version of the garden that uses cement, stone and steel to make it a more permanent fixture on the South Lawn.

Hopefully on President Trumps's first hundred days list.

I hear that Trump is building a hotel in that very spot!

BJ would plant peter peppers.

Y’all will have to find a picture because I don’t want kicked off. Yes, they are for real. Bought a package of Burpee hot pepper seeds once but some peter pepper seeds were mixed in. The family had a great laugh.

Leave the garden alone. Neglect it, let it get overrun with weeds. Put a plaque in front of it saying, “Barack Obama’s legacy to Black America”.

“If it were taken out, it would truly just be a political statement.”

Since it was used for political propaganda, that’s all
it WAS.

Rip it OUT!

Ha. Trump has spent his LIFE building stuff. He can destroy that in a week or less.

Not that hard to fix. Slap up a fence around it, 10 - 15 goats, and a couple of Obama’s illegals to tend them (doing the jobs Americans won’t).

I really don’t mind a garden at the WH, but self-dedicating is a bit droll since it robs the successor the gracefulness of inviting the Moose back for an official dedication. I’m assuming she hasn’t reached out to either ‘first’ and is just dictating via the press.

Trump should put a Philly Cheese-steak stand there.

Trump can have it replanted in Red White and Blue flowers.

I don't remember the figure now, but when Michelle started the garden, word leaked out about how many manhours by White House staff were devoted by White House staff. Michelle's involvement is to show up for the occasional photo op.

I don't have a strong feeling about it one way or the other. One notable Republican in the ag orbit once remarked re: the demonstration garden at USDA that he'd keep it, but convert it to a biotech showplace. One might do something similar at the WH.

If one wanted to scrap it, the right approach would be to total up the staff time and translate the cost into $7 carrots and $15 heads of lettuce (just to make up some numbers). Then say Michelle would be welcomed back to the White House if she personally wants to keep it up, but if not, we're no longer going to waste WH staff time on an expensive vanity project.

I kind of like that there’s a veggie garden at the WH.

Fresh produce right off the stalk is divine.

I can picture Trump maybe making it bigger and better, not getting rid of it.

He seems sensible enough to appreciate fresh foods and not tell US what to eat.

Perhaps he can build a luxury hotel on the plot.

Pissing our money away in the name of her “legacy”. That’s all these poseurs think about, is their precious legacy.
Bring in the dozer.

Yeah, I’ve got news for Michelle, no amount of steel and stone and concrete will prevent Trump from ripping out that stupid, symbolic garden if Trump wants it gone.

OTOH, maybe Trump could use it for his own propaganda purposes, like turning it into a George Washington Carver tribute by planting sweet potatoes, yams, peanuts, collard greens, and black-eye peas, and corn! Some REAL soul food! Yum!

Yup, Donald could ask Ivanka to saddle up a Cat D9 and level the Flag Hater’s garden.
