WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In the famous White House kitchen garden, tomatoes are rotting on the vine. Herbs have gone to seed. And the sweet potatoes - a favorite of President Barack Obama - have become worm food. It's another impact of the government shutdown, one that only the fox and the many squirrels that live on the White House grounds could love. A foodie blog called Obamafoodarama that obsessively covers the White House "food ephemera" and the administration's food policy has posted photos of the normally immaculate garden looking more like what most gardeners' plots appear at this time of the year - overgrown. "Due to the shutdown, garden maintenance has been reduced considerably and only being watered as needed," a White House official confirmed, speaking on background.

A microcosm of everything they touch.
I did a search, honestly I did. My eyes might have betrayed me and this may be posted. Feel free to delete thread.
They’ve sure made plenty of media productions showing Mooch out there slaving in the hot sun.
What’s next, photos of the starving first family (minus the dogs)
Disgraceful. Michelle puts out a book on the garden, has children come to look at it, then they let it ROT.
A perfect picture for what they have wrought on this Country.
ping.
are they still paying $100k for the dog walker
They still have hundreds of people working in the White House, including about 20 highly-paid assistants to Muchelle. Couldn’t they maybe put in 15 minutes a day each? Or maybe Muchelle could get out there and do a little work herself, since she keeps telling us that such exercise is healthy.
Who knows? with this bunch we never know anymore what is satire. Sad
Everything they touch rots.
Symbolism.
squirrels = illegals
shutdown = paid vacation
obama = epic fail
And no towel service at the House gym. This horrendous suffering needs to end.
All Reagan’s fault of course.
“......and only being watered as needed....”
So prior to the shutdown, it was watered when it wasn’t needed.
I rest my case....
Obviously Barry isn’t the only lazy one in that family. Oh well, time for another vacation.
Eeggie is missing out on a good chance to get romantic with Barry. Gardening brings up the sexiness in old people.
No doubt. The seeds were planted in 1980.
Fat Michelle is too lazy to care for her garden.
go to website and read article, then read comments..
just too funny...
for all of us who really do garden, the white house garden has been a laughing joke..for we know she is not doing a lick of any work, she doesn’t know how to work...and after this term she will be even more lazier..
