Vanity Fair has posted photos of President Obama with his feet up on his Oval Office desk. But it's not just any desk. This desk was a gift from Britain's Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. Known as the Resolute desk, it was built from the timbers of an Arctic exploration ship of the same name. Nothing like disrespecting history.Much like the rest of the right wing echo chamber, my good friends on the Tribune-Review editorial board were outraged? disappointed? annoyed? (it's hard to tell) by Obama's obvious disrespect of history.
I wrote about why that's bullshit here.
But they are on the record defending the dignity of the White House and its history - that's not in dispute.
So I wonder how this is gonna play with the MAGA crowd:
During election season, [Trump National Golf Club] Bedminster morphed into a kind of permanent campaign rally site. Trump posters and bumper stickers were plastered across the property, and an anti-Hillary shrine was built in a bar in the men's locker room. The club held a Ryder Cup–style competition in which the teams wore either red or black Make America Great Again hats. At most other golf courses in America the TV is tuned to Golf Channel, on mute, but throughout last summer and fall, the television in Trump Bedminster's shop was on Fox News, with the sound blaring. As President, Trump has already made four visits to the club. He has his own cottage adjacent to the pool; it was recently given a secure perimeter by the Secret Service, leading to the inevitable joke that it's the only wall Trump has successfully built. Chatting with some members before a recent round of golf, he explained his frequent appearances: "That White House is a real dump." (A White House spokesperson denies this occurred.) [Emphasis added.]With all the rampant, out-of-control, honesty oozing out of the Trump Administration every day, every hour, I am absolutely nay resolutely sure that that White House spokesperson's denial is 1000% true. Believe me.
Who's disrespecting the White House?
Michelle Obama: ‘Did you know that African-American slaves helped to build’ the White House?

I forgot one little answer to the guy that thought that Trump was disgracing the office by putting his feet on the desk. Did he forget Billy boy getting his love potions all over the Oval office desk, rug and young office interns?
ReplyDeleteI forgot---it's OK if you're a Clinton. Typical Lib--selective memory with the loser/hater syndrome.
I might also add that Husein O in one of his first acts was to take a bust of Winston Churchill down that has been there since WW2, because HE doesn't like England.
ReplyDeleteHow about how the Clinton people went thru the Whitehouse and stole anything that Bush placed there [even took the W's off the typewriters] to top that---Clintons stole all sorts of paintings, silverware, almost anything that wasn't nailed down,
They had to sheepishly return the stolen items when they were caught with Whitehouse inventory that had been there for years.
Did this guy think his ignorance and hatred would be believed by anyone other than a blind to the facts Democrat hater/loser?
Now it turns out that again this is Fake News, no source will verify, writer admits
