Ditto on the "yeesh"!
It looks like the lobby of a cheap motel that hasn't been redone since Carter was President. Hmmmmm....

When President Barack Obama addresses the nation on Iraq tonight, his Oval Office setting will be sporting a brand new look.
While the president and his family were away on vacation in Martha's Vineyard, workers installed new wallpaper, a new rug, new chairs, lamps and a coffee table.
The famous bust of Winston Churchill has been removed and replaced with one of civil rights hero Martin Luther King.
Officials allowed photographers their first look hours before Mr Obama was due to make a speech today.
The rug - a honey-coloured carpet with the the presidential seal - has a border that includes two noted speech excerpts.
One reads 'Government of the people, by the people and for the people,' from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, some of the most famous words ever spoken by a president.
The other is 'The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally on the welfare of all of us'. It is from a speech that Theodore Roosevelt gave at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, New York, on September 7, 1903.

If I had the choice to sit down with any historical figure, my first choice would be Churchill, hands down.
The whole thing reminds me of “Deralique,” the drug bum fashion line in the movie “Zoolander.”

The issue isn’t replacing Churchill with MLK. Presidents change the art and busts in the Oval Office all the time. The issue is spending our tax $$$$$$$$—yet again—on his personal luxury. He and Michelle really are Louis and Marie Antoinette.
Winston Churchill is out, but Winston Smith is in.
Damn. If this happened here (removal of Churchill) there would be a lot of unhappy campers.
I don’t intend to be watching this disgusting TV show. I’ll be cleaning the cat litter and picking up dog poop.
And what is that coffee table? Did he pay someone to suggest that? This has to be a payoff to one of Michelle’s alleged “designer” buddies because it looks like cheap crap.
I wonder who gave him the MLK bust or where he got it?
Centuries of class and tradition thrown out all at the whim of a spoiled boy-king. I’m surprised that he hasn’t had hos lined up outside the office. Considering the riffraff he has at the White House events, I’m amazed that our founding fathers haven’t risen from their graves and reignited another revolution.
Imam Obamah hates Great Britian because Kenya was once under British rule.
Where is the lime green shag carpet and the plastic chairs ?? what a despicable bunch of trash inhabit that place.
Of course Zer0 knows that MLK will be in the oval office in perpetuity, because any future president who removes it will be blasted as a racist!
It’s what he lives to do. He thinks that by bashing our allies he is in the cahoots with the Chinese/Russians/Arabs who only look at him as a complete pansy.
No it's not!

This is tacky beyond belief. Holiday Inn striped wallpaper, CORDUROY slipcovers, ugly modern coffee table. These people are totally devoid of taste.
