While Obama plans to cut 40,000 from military, Michelle spends $600,000 on table for WH dining room

[mdk]

Apparently, money is only an object when it comes to spending it on national security. When it comes to vacations or other frivolous stuff, the Obamas spend like money grows on trees.

$600,000 seems a little steep for a dining table and why did they need a new one?

Did you happen to notice the US taxpayer is not footing the bill for the redecoration ... no you didn't, and I am so unsurprised.

It was a lot more stable after the surge, and before Obozo pulled our troops out.
..

Nice of you to say Obozo is a liar, though..
.

NEWSFLAS!!! "keeping a lid on it" =/= success.

vietraq was a hornets nest from Day 1 & the last Repub Admin had to kick it for their defense contractor buddies

 

[skye]

If Michelle is serving the same food she is giving to schools in the White House's dining room...

the question arises....why renovate at all??

 

[hortysir]

Republican wealth envy?

 

[HenryBHough]

A chrome and Formica table would have served the purpose ... very practical.

And culturally appropriate!

Well, almost.....it'd have to have cigarette burns along the edge by the "head" end to be completely proper.

The cost of the project - US$590,000 - was covered by the White House Historical Association's White House Endowment Trust, a fund administered for the maintenance and refurbishment of the White House public rooms. The last time the State Dining Room was redecorated was in 1998, during the Clinton administration.

The entire project costs $590k. That includes carpeting, draperies, paint, and the table in question among other things.

Major thread Fail

The White House's State Dining Room, a grand and historic space that has hosted kings and queens, Nobel Prize-winners, military families and A-list Hollywood stars, is not a room whose redecoration is taken lightly. Yet it gets a lot of wear and tear, with all those high heels digging into the rug and martinis accidentally spilling onto the curtains.
After three years of work by US first lady Michelle Obama and the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, a new look has been unveiled that will be a design legacy of the Obama years.
The major new statement is at the windows: elegant, sumptuously swagged striped draperies in bold peacock blue and ecru, suspended from thick carved, gilded poles. These colours should go nicely, by the way, with the new Obama state china service in Kailua blue, unveiled in April.
The design of the 34 new stately mahogany chairs is based on chairs bought for the East Room by President James Monroe in 1818 from cabinetmaker William King Jnr. They are upholstered with period-appropriate horsehair fabric in a brown grid pattern, trimmed with brass nailheads. A blue-green rug, intricately woven with wreath motifs and oak leaves inspired by the stunning ceiling plasterwork, was installed in 2012 at the start of the project.
A subtle yet stately feature of the room: the walls and detailed mouldings, artfully repainted and glazed in several shades of white to highlight the architecture.

Maybe if we end up having to send our military to Iraq to clean up Obozi's mess, his minions will step up and fight to preserve his legacy!!!!!

Will the chairs for the table be there?

Question is, why do you need 40,000 extra troops? I know, it's because the Republicans want to invade someone else, like Iran, or get Iraq back, and all this warring costs money and needs troops. How much did Bush spend on war exactly?

Obama spends $600,000 and gets criticised.
Bush spends $4.55 billion and, well, hey, that's the way it goes.

We have removed troops from Iraq, Afghanistan and are continuing to pull back from Europe. We don't need the troop strength we had ten years ago

Can anyone point to an existing threat that warrants maintaining the military force we had in 2005? ISIS?

 

[Moonglow]

The GOP is saving ISIS for the next GOP president...hey they want to win one for a change...

Looks like a diet you should try.

Iraq wouldn't be a mess had Bush not invaded in the first place.

But it was stable and secure when Obozo pulled our troops out. He said so himself....

No, it wasn't. Iraq hasn't been stable or secure since Saddam was deposed.

Obama bragged about ending a successful Iraq war, and his lap dogs on here bragged also.

One of those giant wooden cable reels.

Actually some are quite swanky:

He did end it. Iraq's fight with ISIS is their own war.

How much did Allen West spend to lose his Congressional seat? I'm sure some veterans could have used that money.
What a horrible man.
