Setting the stage to take stuff with ‘em when they leave...

Well, at least in that regard, Michelle won't have to smuggle the silverware out in her coat.

Nor is the couple, who reported $4.2 million in household income in 2007 tax returns

$4.2 million?? How do I get to be a senator in Illinois?

O is not allowed to smoke (or schmoke) inside the White House.

Are you sure there's not a new executive order?

Frankly I don’t care if he smokes tobacco in the White House. He wouldn’t be the first. It’s his own dumb “rule” to go outside to sneak a smoke. He lied about quitting and kept huffing cigs around the corner from the news crews during the campaign. Eventually some disillusioned reporters mentioned that he stunk of cigarettes.

His smoking habit is a sign of addiction and there can be no question that the cigs are a remnant from his “previous” smoking habit. (Let us all hope it is previous...but, it wouldn’t be a surprise to learn othewise.)

Laura was dressed appropriately on this day. Michelle was not. I was embarrassed for our country, even though this was the least of our problems to worry about.

Maybe they should move out for a year or two while the White House is brought up to code?
Don’t know if its still the situation, but I heard at one time it was waaaay behind on wiring, networking, phone closets, fire protection, etc...

After throwing a $140 million dollar party for himself, and asking for a new $12 billion fleet of helicopters, he passes on $100,000 for drapes. That’s probably the cost of material for a tent-sized dress to cover his wife’s gigantic bedonkadonk.

This article reminds me of a Barack Hussein Obama press conference. It uses a lot of words but says nothing. After reading it I am left wondering where the money is coming from. If they turn down the 100k and they turn down corporate and public funds does this mean no redecorating is going to take place. Could it be that Michelle Obama has realized that she has no taste and that the White House and residence were impeccably decorated by Laura Bush and shouldn’t be changed. Probably not. I afraid it will take 100k worth of china just to feed Michelle if that restaurant receipt from the campaign is any indication of how she eats.

the white house doesn’t NEED redecorating. Laura Bush had it looking tasteful and classic. truly gorgeous and befitting the president of the united states. why mess with perfection?
