Oval Office Makeover BACKLASH

[otohara]

Yes it's true - hubby had on the tube this AM - then came the lead in to Inside Edition - about the UGLY makeover of the Oval Office - featuring Meghan McCain and Mo Dowd has nothing better to do either.



The Oval Office makeover is sparking a heated debate across the nation!

"I don't know, I just don't know why it needed to be redone," said Megan McCain, the daughter of Republican Senator John McCain, speaking out about the facelift on Good Morning America.

"I'm sort of against the ultimate 'casualization' of the White House and the Presidency," she said.

She is not a fan of the room's new casual vibe, especially the modern brown sofas that have replaced the more traditional floral couches that were there before

She added, "I actually think that looks like a couch I could see at my brother's house but whatever, I don't understand why they changed it."

Famed columnist Maureen Dowd also blasted the brown and beige earth tones that now fill the world's most famous office.

"The classiest, most powerful place on earth, now...resembles an upscale hotel conference room," Dowd writes in The New York Times. She also takes aim at the new "boxy coffee table that even some Obama aides find ugly." http://www.insideedition.com/news/4966/oval-office-makeover-backlash.aspx

1. Petty. It looks fine

I like the new look.

[n2doc]

2. Sheesh- Is there ANYTHING Obama can do that won't piss these idiots off?

[truebrit71]

5. Nope. He could walk into the SOTU with OBL's head on a platter and they'd still complain..

.."he's showing off", "what took him so long", "at least OBL didn't need a tele-prompter"..you know..that sort of petty shit..

14. So True

it's getting ridiculous and old, just like Mo Dowd.

[Mz Pip]

3. Oh good grief

now the chatterers are weighing in on the design choices of the Obama? Seriously these people have entirely too much free time.



It's almost like they are disappointed that it isn't painted all Muslimy.

4. Morning Joe crew trashed the couch yesterday.

I feel bad for whoever did it.

6. Then they switched to the "lighter side of the news" - 7 US soldiers killed

in Afghanistan...gotta have priorities, people.

[zipplewrath]

7. Dead on

I mean, I'm not a fan of the redecoration either, but then again I DON'T WORK THERE SO I DON'T GIVE A FLYING........

And no matter what, it looks vastly better than where I work.

[gratuitous]

8. Well Megan, if your daddy wasn't such a loser

You could have imposed your taste choices on the Oval Office. But he didn't, so belt up. It's not like you're in danger of visiting anyone you're related to there.

[hatrack]

9. WGAF?

I mean, he works there, and it didn't cost taxpayers anything, so again, WGAF?

Seriously, when Maureen Dowd had to work in an Al Gore earth tone snark in the very first line of her excrescence this morning, I knew that nothing had changed in the fourth estate except the relative depth of the bullshit.

[Botany]

10. the change over was done @ no cost to the American tax payer

There is nothing Obama can do that will not be criticized

BTW it looks very nice

[izzybeans]

11. Is this The Onion?

[uncommon]

12. I think it looks good. Much more tasteful than before. Those striped chairs before, eek.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Clearly, George W. Bush was a better interior designer.

And we all know what THAT MEANS!!!

[mrcheerful]

15. Well that would explain all of his hand holding and kissing of Sadi princes in the rose garden

[Bitwit1234]

16. Then why did Bush do it right after he took office.

I know he was a republican and according to the skanks like McCain's ditsy daughter they can do no wrong.

[bushisanidiot]

17. Seriously? The tea party republicans are whining about the President's choice in couches now?

insanity.

pure. insanity.

[BlueIdaho]

18. Attack, Attack, Attack

Its all they know, its all they ever do. Find something, anything and attack it as being "other." Dive in wedge after wedge in a vain attempt to paint our President as "other." They will attack the couches for being brown because they can't really attack our president for being brown.

Sick Fucks.
