Lincoln Bedroom
It was Harry Truman who suggested turning Lincoln’s former office and cabinet room into a bedroom with furnishings associated with the family. In 2004, using documentary evidence from the period, the First Lady and her team restored the room and returned period details, among them the window cornices and mantel—made to match the one that had been there during Lincoln’s time.
Obama has a vision for the Lincoln Bedroom
Los Angeles Times
He’s not president yet, but Barack Obama has already given some thought to White House decor.
Asked at a town hall-style meeting in Fargo, N.D., about any decorating plans for the Lincoln Bedroom, Obama described a visit to the White House after he became a U.S. senator.
“You have all these mementos of Abraham Lincoln, but you have this flat-screen TV in there,” Obama told the crowd at the outdoor event.
“I thought to myself, ‘Now, who stays in the Lincoln Bedroom and watches [ESPN’s] ‘Sports Center’? You’ve got your clicker. . . . That didn’t seem to me to be appropriate. So I might take out the TV, I don’t know.
“You should read when you’re in the Lincoln Bedroom! Reread the Gettysburg Address. Don’t watch TV.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
LOL like I believe him….NOT.
I have a vision for the Lincoln Bedroom… To keep Obama out of it! And out of the White House and Presidency.
LUCKY for Obama bin Laden that Picket’s Charge at Gettysburg failed on July 4, 1863, eh? Kiss my GRITS Obamanation xxxxxx X xxxxxx !
Obamanation is an idiot. Many visiting foreign dignitaries who sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom want to see American TV! And it’s not just ESPN. There are documentary and history channels and everything else.
Thank God for Lincoln and his foresight to give slaves their freedoms. So many forget it was us white folks who freed them. It was their own races in Africa who sold them in the first place!
Leave the Lincoln Bedroom alone. Stop acting like you’re President because you aren’t yet.
The arrogance of this lying empty suit is just overwhelming. Can you imagine the “guests” he and his manager…er, I mean…his wife will put in the Lincoln Bedrooom?
The thought of him sitting in the Oval Office, deer in the headlights expression on his face, is too much. How’s he going to respond when the NSA tells him “We have a Situation, Mr. President” ~ “Present”?
LOL!! Your vision and mine – is one in the same–!!!!!!!!
Haven’t heard much about Mighty Michelle lately-
she must be shopping for African and Muslim
items to replace our Historic valuables in the White House-
She needs to keep the receipts so she can return them on Nov 9th LMAO!!!!!!
Sickening to think of the Obamas occupying the White House. Sickening to think of who some of their guests will be. Maybe we will have to rename the White House to the Kremlin West.
Or maybe it can be renamed ‘Bleak House’ resembling our future. It has been said, the Ghost of Abe Lincoln roams the White House…Hehehehe we can only hope.
Feet don’t fail me now. Then maybe Mr cool will turn into ‘step n fetch-it’
Darth,…….”Kiss my GRITS Obamanation”……
I agree!
Lynn, I agree, plus what if they want to watch the news. It was such a stupid thing for Obama to say.
Yankeemom, I agree it makes my skin crawl and my stomach feel sick.
Cheryl, LMAO that is funny. I sure hope that is what happens.
Tom that is what they should rename it,yes it sure would fit the ones they will be inviting.
Mark, LMAO that is so funny.
“‘Bleak House'”…yes. heh heh I can see it now, Lincoln haunting those that enter and keeping them up all night. Then Michelle Obama would probably break out the voodoo dolls. OH man I shouldn’t have said that. hahaha
Over 50 MILLION abortions and same sex marriages are an OBAMAnation!
2bornot2b?, they sure are, he is totally for abortion and late abortions too. It really sickens me to think he might be President.
