WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says its high-profile garden on the South Lawn has tested positive for lead although it is not at dangerous levels. White House spokeswoman Katie McCormick-Lelyveld said Thursday that tests on the soil in the White House garden detected lead levels of 93 parts per million. Soil is considered unsafe for growing vegetables when it reaches more than 500 parts per million.

Too much lead in the WH arugala?
Could this be the coming excuse for why Obama is so stupid when all of the media thought he was the smartest man alive?

That lead is prolly from the Musket Balls used by all those 'Dead White Guys' when they shot the WH slaves for serving cold food or spilling a drink.
Or it could be from Musket Balls from the War of 1812 and all the shooting that occurred when the Brits attacked then burned down the White House.
nah... it has to be from the 'Dead White Guys' shooting slaves.

ROFL!
Note to White House geniuses:
You are supposed to test the soil BEFORE you dig the garden.

I’m sure it didn’t affect the plants, since those were all store-bought the night before the “harvest”.

What did they expect. The Whitehouse was built in the late 1700s.
It has had hundreds of coats of paint on it, most before lead was banned in paints. When the paint comes off it joins in the soil.

Wait those jackasses did not bring in a potting soil? That place has had white lead paint on it from since the first one was built.
