Obama's right wing makeover of the Oval Office!
The Oval Office has been updated by Obama and like everything else, it's another right wing turn.

There is a new rug. You know who else had a new rug in the Oval Office? Bush Jr.!

Obama chose 5 quotes to be on the rug. 2 of the quotes are from Republicans!!!!1! (Lincoln and Roosevelt) :argh: One of the quotes is from a "Democrat" named Roosevelt! This is bullshit. Why are there more republican quotes?

Of course, the insults don't end there. They had two chairs reupholstered in LEATHER! :puke: Paging PETA!!!!!

I honestly can't take being kicked in the gut with every decision made by this president. This is an outrage of outrages and I am OUTRAGED!!! :banghead:

1. McCain would have installed a PA system
So he could tell people to get the hell off the lawn while sitting at the desk with his finger on the button.

27. McCain would have installed a 1MC
That is a 1 Main Circuit for all you land lubbers (and kids who walk on other people's grass).



McCain would also have had a Chief with a Boatswain's whistle to blow attention whenever he wanted to address the crowd.

26. Not to mention scraping the gum off the Resolute desk,
Edited on Thu Sep-02-10 05:10 PM by Arkana
cleaning the Starburst wrappers and empty dime bags out of the drawers, and buffing out the "DUBYA WUZ HERE" scrawled on the top.

5. Outrage is in limited supply.
For your health, I suggest saving it for the things that really matter - and there's plenty of that.

6. "Yet no one could doubt President Bush’s support for our troops, or his love of country and...
. . . commitment to our security.”

President Obama, August 31, 2010


So, are you someone or no one?

9. Nice hijack
I love it when people can't shut up about a topic for even a second. Makes it hard to follow threads but at least it allows the voice of "outrage" for yet another tool to continue.

14. The outrage must continue
Edited on Wed Sep-01-10 10:49 AM by sharp_stick
if I'm not outraged all the time about something I don't know how I'll get by.

The OP also mentioned rugs so now I'm pissed off because Obama did not get his rug from

10% Charlie could have saved him a fortune.

16. I'm not outraged....
Disgusted is a better characterization of my emotions in this respect because I frankly wasn't expecting any better.

19. So let me get this straight.
You'd have preferred that the President of the United States get on live TV and say "I just spoke to that fuckknuckle George. Boy, is he a retarded asshole or what? Sent our boys to die in the Middle East for no reason. What a dick.".

There are only 44 men in the entire history of the country who have ever sat in that chair, and like it or not they tend to respect one another even if they differ politically.

8. I was happy to see the quotes that Obama chose.
I don't care where they came from. They are words to live by. As far as the piece of crap rug that * had. Well, that was a joke and a half and should have been sent down to the pig farm the day the squatters gave us our white house back. Spend your outrage on the disfigured babies, white phosphorus, dead soldiers and dead Iraqis. Really, I keep looking for the sarcasm in your post to appear!

21. Abe & Teddy wouldn't be republicans in today's republican party.
Both of them would condemn everything about today's republicans.
