This is frankly what I expected. Some people will spend all of their money on trappings, like great clothes, beautiful cars, makeovers etc, and neglect the important things like thrift and modesty, this is the -0-bamas. It would be wonderful if they spent their own money decorating, but I am sure it is taxpayer dollars, like everything else they do, it is at the expense of another.
OKAY...y’all DO know that EVERY Christmas the White House is dressed to the nines for Christmas....I don’t think this is really THAT unusual.....EXCEPT that Meechelle can’t seem to find a jacket to wear in winter.

You’re kidding right? There are many things for which to fault the Obamas, but to criticize them for decorating the public rooms of the White House at Christmas is just silly. You do know of course that this is a yearly tradition and as such the expense incurred is not the responsibility of the First Family, whomever they might be. I can’t believe that you never saw the wonderful Barneycam videos that showed Barney (the Bushs’ Scottish Terrier) cavorting among the Bush White House decorations. They were great.
Here’s a very good one.
Also, here’s an article that gives a little history of White House decorating at this time of year. It’s rather interesting.
