Washington - The makeover of the Oval Office has been widely panned in press reports and on the blogosphere for being too casual and for its bland color palate but White House press secretary Robert Gibbs doesn't expect President Obama to weigh in anytime soon. (Snip) In an apparent effort to head off criticism, the White House pointed out that all of the materials and furniture came from U.S.-based companies, and that taxpayers won't foot the bill. These kinds of projects have always been funded by the White House Historical Association, with money from the Presidential Inaugural Committee.

It makes me miss the Clinton Oval when they brought in that local Dixie Carter-like designer from Little Rock and Sally Quinn and the girls SCREAMED at the gaucheness. That was great.

I hope he takes the new rug with him since he changed the wording that is most unAmerican.

The Oval Office is as blah as Obama’s speech from it last night. There must have been a good sale at Home Depot on “apartment house beige” paint.

I guess I’m out of it. I don’t mind his choice in decor, I just think the timing may be a bit off.
