Too Bad we Can’t Get a Wake-Up Call

September 2nd, 2010

Send Gibbs out for Plastic Lawn Flamingos

Tonight I heard Michael Savage (a guilty pleasure) foaming at the mouth over the new Oval Office furniture. Then I took a look at some photos. He’s right! Obama just put two cheap corduroy sofas in the Oval Office! You really have to see it to believe it. And the coffee table looks like it came from Sam’s Club. I am not exaggerating. It’s repulsive.

It’s Motel 6! All it needs is Magic Fingers!

Where did we find this guy? Honestly, Billy Carter had more class.

    The look is known as “South Chicago Modern”
    It suits the goofball.

    There is a blog called Hillbuzz.org written by gay, former Hillary supporters who are now conservatives and very pro-Palin. You must see their photoshopped version of the new decor. They believe that Zero had “The Jefferson’s” set moved over from the Smithsonian. It’s hilarious!

    I give our “community organizer” come President a hard time over a lot of things, but realize that historically it is a tradition that with every change of administration comes some redecoration of the White House and the Capitol Building offices.

    At least this time apparently we only paid for stuff from Rooms to Go and Sam’s Club.

    Maybe he’s trying to promote another great American company: J.C. Penney.

  5. aelfheld Says:

    J.C. Penney? Montgomery Ward more likely. He’s got that thing for bankrupt companies.

    Ouch.

  7. Ruth H Says:

    It’s blah, blah, blah. About as interesting as the Obama’s

    Corduroy? Do they not know how dusty corduroy upholstery gets? And if you get peanut butter on it, good luck getting all of it out. Tacky and impractical — it suits Obama to a T.

    It’s. A. Couch.

    I’m stunned that anyone outside of “Couch fashion” circles cares about this.

    And should he have wasted a lot of our money on
    chi-chi expensive stuff? Would you have complained
    if that had been the way he went?

  11. Steve H. Says:

    You’re right. He should have furnished it just like the trailer he deserves to work in.

    If you think decent furniture for visiting heads of state is a waste of money, you must be furious at Obama for spending over a hundred thousand taxpayer dollars on a date with his wife.

    I found out where Mrs. O ordered the furniture.

    But don’t tell anyone or I will have the Secret Service all over my butt.

    The only thing missing is a giant mural of Mao.

  14. Steve H. Says:

    Yesterday I realized Obama is the biggest spendthrift in human history. He has literally wasted more money than any human being who has ever lived. Trillions. Yet he could not come up with $3,000 for two real couches.
