The Oval Office Makeover
In case you missed it, Obama had the Oval Office redone while he was on one of his many vacations. The Obama decided to so for a suburban rec room theme for the most powerful office in the world. They also have violated one of the traditions of the office and I wonder if they even know. I'll give you guys a few shots at it before I point out yet another Obama insult.
Update: I was mistaken. Truman moved the eagles head from left to right and many (Including myself and Dan Brown) thought that the eagles head faced right in times of war and left in times of peace. Snopes says that this is a rumor.

The decor is still insulting.

I have no problem with the remodel, though I agree with the "suburban rec room" statement.
I wonder how many created or saved jobs were involved and which fund pool was tapped.

These are the quotations woven into the perimeter:
* “The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself” – President Franklin D. Roosevelt
* “The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Towards Justice” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
* “Government of the People, By the People, For the People” – President Abraham Lincoln
* “No Problem of Human Destiny is Beyond Human Beings” – President John F. Kennedy
* “The Welfare of Each of Us is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us” – President Theodore Roosevelt
Interesting assortment, especially the last.
I agree that the decor is too zaftig and informal for the Oval Office. Especially the office of a guy who seems stuffy. Kind of like Barney Fife in a business suit.

I liked the lighter color scheme Bush had this one is a bit to dark for my liking

I've been trying to decide if I like it for about 25 seconds. I think that means I like it because it's not quite what I expected.

He still puts his feet up on the desk, though.
And whether this administration added those particular cushions or not, I'm not fond of them.

Zaftig? (or is it zoftig?) A yiddish reference on the A-S? Brave dude, very brave. Do you expect any of these MN Goy's to know what it means?
