I'm thrilled that those old ugly drab gold colored drapes that Bush had are gone :)

1. Yes, those are an improvement!

Less fussy and ostentatious.

Perhaps you and I are the only ones who notice such things...

16. More wasteful spending!

Argh!! :evilgrin:

20. Taxpayer money was NOT used.

Money that Obama gave to the White House Historical Foundation left over from his 2008 campaign was used for the Oval Office remodel.

23. I was being sarcastic...

3. When I saw "new drapes", I thought it was a piece on Boner.

Then I saw "pink" and had to go back and reread the heading since
I figure Boner's would be made out of $100 bills or blank checks.

4. Is This Important?

5. Well it is a bit important to me :)

Every time I watch a video or see a photo from the Oval Office and always check out if there are any new changes.
And I hated seeing those 'old' drapes all the time.

The Oval Office updates:

In 2009 President Obama swapped out one of the busts that sit to the sides of the fireplace, he added a bust of Martin Luther King Jr, he changed out the two large framed pictures that hang on the walls to the left and right of his desk.

In 2010 President Obama had the big oval floor rug changed - the new one has quotes by famous folks along the edge of the border, the sofa and the end table lamps and the coffee table were replaced, the two chairs in front of the fireplace were reupholstered in leather, wallpaper was added to the walls - and now 'new drapes' ;)

14. Well...I'm Glad That Someone Is...

interested in such things. It's good relief from the standard fair here.

I am sure that the next group of brown people blown to shit by one of his drones will die in peace knowing new drapes had been installed to make the oval office a little more cheerful!!!

10. A big thumbs up for them

I'm glad they can afford new drapes. I'll just keep changing the plastic on my windows when they get too bad to tape any more. I can't believe how much that plastic sheeting has gone up in price.

Why do I feel like I wandered into a Teen Beat Magazine? Oh, yeah, drapes are just not that important in the grand scheme of things.

[Skittles]

15. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

yes INDEED

[firedupdem]

12. Yup....it's the White House....and they are in it. Get over it and

tape up your windows.

21. Is there some rule that everything posted at DU has to be "important"?

I haven't seen it. Some of us enjoy the break from all the "important" stuff. If you don't feel this is "important" enough to bother with, then why did you take the time to, click on the link, read it, and then comment here?

[mtnsnake]

13. Is this one of those threads that has a secret message or something?

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

17. In other news, I just crapped.

Gee...It sounded important when I typed it. Go figure.

[GoCubsGo]

22. Yeah, you crapped all over this thread.

Go figure.

[avaistheone1]

18. Let's add that

list of changes Obama has managed.

:rofl:

[TBF]

19. Well thank god for that. nt
