Maybe they are trying to make it look like a Holiday Inn Express............

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.

THAT 70S OBAMALAISE

What’s the big deal???

Michelle needed some new designer dresses.

What else were they gonna do with the old drapery and rugs?

[1000 silverlings]

lol, it looks like me and my room mates 70’s condo, all bargain basement Sears, even the brown couches. You can’t buy taste

Cheesy chic presented by the Cheesy chic couple.

When you’re not doing any work a comfy couch is what’s called for.

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.

Did Moochelle Antoinette include a leopard-skin sofa in her extreme makeover?

[afraidfortherepublic]

all of the materials and furniture came from U.S.-based companies

That's downright embarrassing!

The O Office looks bland in the still photos, but its true ugliness shines forth on TV as a backdrop for one of O''s speeches. Those drapes catch all the light from the cameras and they look like that faux crushed velvet that was so popular in the 1970s. In baby poop color!

In fact they look like something that was rescued from a discarded TV set from The Rockford Files, or Matlock. Maybe from Family Fued.

And mottoes in the rug? How tacky can yo get?

Kind of reminds me of the lobby of a mid priced hotel anywhere in the US. Is there a waffle iron in the room? Is CNN playing non-stop?

I really don’t think it is good or bad. There are more substantive things regarding 0bama that are more worthy of criticism. Grousing over his sense of interior decoration just makes us look petty.

He should have sent someone over to the Smithsonian to fetch the Archie and Edith Bunker’s chairs. That furniture would at least add a little character to the room.
