If the speech wasn't enough.... counter the oval office decor chain
Edited on Mon Sep-06-10 06:21 PM by HysteryDiagnosis
mail with the exceedingly effective Snopes debunking of it. The chain mail goes mindlessly starts off with the following, and blathers on and on continuing the theme/outright lie.

Article is titled: Rotten to Decor

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/photos/ovaloffice.asp

>>I have noticed that the decor at the White House has changed since BHO moved in. The Oval Office is now stripped of the traditional red, white, and blue and replaced with Middle Eastern wallpaper, drapes and decor. The hallway that he walks out of to talk to the press now has Middle Eastern chairs, drapes, etc. And the thing that has bothered me the most is the bright yellow drape behind him every time he speaks from the White House. It has Arabic symbols on it.<<

Bush's Oval Office:



President Obama's Oval Office:



And lest we forget the most unpatriotic of them all, Bill Clinton's color scheme:



Let's put this bullshit to bed.

5. And when they give you the inevitable "Snopes is biased" bullshit...
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/snopes.htm

The best part of this debunking is that the main email circulating the claim that Snopes was biased recommended you go to truthorfiction.com instead, because they were more reliable. So Truthorfiction debunked the email that Snopes was biased. :rofl:

It must suck to be a Republican, and to never be right. But I repeat myself.

6. If elected president I'll probably decorate it in hunter orange/black dazzle camo stripes
Let's see them find hidden symbols of evil in my office when they can't even be sure of the third dimension! :evilgrin:

...I'd go Mid-Century Modern on the Oval Office decor.



The curtains and some upholstery would have a nice atomic-style graphics scheme, something like dis:



ON EDIT: I'd also make everybody take their shoes off before they can come into the Oval Office.
