Oval Office Re-Do
 
President Obama finally had the Oval Office redone. (Every president gets to redecorate the OO. Most did so much earlier in their terms.)

It's ok, if a bit Pottery Barnish. Too bad they kept those god-afull gold brocade curtains the Bushes put in.

It's better than my office. But not by much.

Now if I can just convince the building owners to let me put a zipline from here to the parking lot...

Meh.

Beige is not a power color. How is beige going to intimidate foreign heads of state?

What is this opposition to color? I got a very large Restoration Hardware catalog in the mail the other day and the entire thing is beige and brown. BORING!

Jinx, Moonie.

This article has the quotes on Obama's new rug.

Quote:
* “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
Agreed that the place could be more stylish, but as usual, if he went big he would get crap for it, no matter that the money came from his own fund.

At least brown is a color. The Bush OO was mostly off-white.



The Clinton OO was the most colorfull IMO.

The right-wing blogospere is already working itself up to a lather.

A foam party in the Oval Office would KICK ASS!!

The de riguer presidential symbol in the carpet looks stupid in dull tones, and appropriately regal and powerful against a field of navy blue. The Clintons were the last ones with a clue. I'm voting for Hillary next time.
