President Barack Obama speaks during a news conference in the East Room of the White House on June 29, 2011 in Washington, DC. Obama started the news conference by discussing the economy, before fielding questions about the War Powers Act and his authority to continue military support in the NATO-led offensive against Gadhafi forces in Libya and the ongoing budget negotiations with Congress.
It’s funny what doing home renovations makes you sensitive to. After hanging too many doors, painting too many walls, installing too many window treatments, and building too much furniture – I find myself noticing interior design and decorations more than I probably should.
Every time I see an event or a press conference in the White House I pause and think to myself that it looks overly ornate. It doesn’t look “American” to me.

The Republicans suck - they are the party of Pork, Perks, and Privilege and don't want any of that to change. Think they "earned" pork, perks and privilege? Think again!
Just what are Democrats the party of??? Obama offered change and we sure got it! EVERYTHING has changed for the worse. Privilege?? You better take a good look at Princess Pelosi and company. Why is it that all "uniformed" people think that every Republican is rich and every Democrat is working class poor? The American left can't be that naive or worse, can they? Between the ACLU and "political correctness" this couintry will be lucky if we don't become a part of China in the next 20 years (Change we can). God Bless, God Help America! Only He can end this madness and restore sanity
wow, post a picture about interior decorating, and get comments on general politics. I agree, it seems ornate-my first impression was to wonder if the pres was in russia. But what makes it seem ornate is the chandeliers, and who knows how long those have been there--1900? when it wasn't politically incorrect to be in the white house and be grand
