Recycled. This came up during the election.
What a surprise! A third of the closest friends and associates of the Presidets have donated to his campaigns!
WOW! I hope the Media is ALL OVER THIS (just like they were for the Clintoon 'sleepovers' for sale)
Who else would sleepover? They don't really expect the Bush's to invite Michael Moore and Barbra Streisand to sleepover, do they?
You mean the extinct MSM like these guys?

But "Bubba" had "blowovers", too!
There's noting wrong with allowing contributors to stay over. What Bubba did was slightly different. He set up a pay rate: You bring in $X, then you get to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom, etc.
It was a quid pro quo.

This picture makes me want to spit. How dare they?
I remember the story about Hubert Humphrey staying in the Lincoln Bedroom one night. He so revered Lincoln, that he slept on a couch and not on the bed(although, as I understand it, Lincoln himself did not sleep in that room).
"Yes, there were sleepovers, but nothing inappropriate ever happened."
The acknowledgment of this fact and the publication of the list rather sharply change the impression the White House earlier gave a more casual, friends and family kind of hospitality. More than a third of the sleepovers were financial benefactors of Mr. Clinton or the DNC. `They were my friends and I was proud to have them here,' the president explained, but as the White House deputy communications director delicately corrected him, some weren't friends yet' but `were people the president and the first lady wanted to spend more time with.' As Charles Krauthammer observed on the opposite page the other day, the word for people who aren't friends yet is usually `strangers.'
every time i see that picture i want to puke... both of those skanks need to be publicly B!tch Slapped!!!
I believe Abe used the room as a study, and it became the Lincoln Bedroom during the Truman Administration.
