POLITICO did a little piece rounding up designers’ opinions on the Oval Office’s new beige look. I think this guy sums it up perfectly:\

“The neutral Obama color scheme, soothing and subdued, allows the occupant to take center stage. To that effect, the design is elegant, well-proportioned and balanced. Blue and gold, traditionally the colors of royalty, are a thing of the past.”
Yep, gold and royalty are a thing of the past. As are wealth, global hegemony, and a respectable hierarchy. America is now just soporific melange of uninspired and undifferentiated underachieving pale. Hail to the chief.
I’ll admit it. I absolutely love Tea Party Rallies. I don’t necessarily consider myself a Tea Partyer, but I am a partyer in general, and I do like a good tailgate. I enjoy getting hammered and watching people running around in everything from Paul Revere to Frankenstein costumes, all in the name of Amurrcah. Thus, I present some of the most outrageous T-shirts concocted by people who can’t stand the idea of taking down a tyrannical government:
In a new poll released today it appears that only 41% of Americans agree with Obama’s handling of the economy. According to FoxNews, his overall approval rating still hovers at 49%, “In part because most Americans still like him personally.” Well, having a good personality will sure help out the 10% unemployment rate. This poll comes in just a few days before the Obama’s take their vacation to Martha’s Vineyard. Sigh.
Not that I think the Birther movement is useful in any way at this point, but here’s a little tidbit of White House “transparency” — a blurred out image of Obama’s passport that Foot-in-Mouth-Gibbs and his army of mouthpieces has released as part of a video diary (all the young people are doing it). Interestingly, G Dubbs was forced to release his dental records, not blurred out, and we can’t even see our current president’s passport. Not a double standard. But then, it never is with this administration.
It is no secret that Illinois is one of the most politically corrupt states in the nation, and that Chicago, our de facto capitol, is the megalopolis of political correctness, excessive taxation and demonization of capitalism and entrepreneurialism, the idealized notion of far reaching, progressive effective government, and the home and training ground of our 44th President, the community organizer. After the last 6 years of universal control by Democrats (community organizers) of both state houses (ACORN), both senate seats (Roland Burris, wink wink), all statewide offices and the entire congressional control, the jig is up. Not only are the senate and gubernatorial races up for grabs, but Republicans have a realistic shot at capturing 4 house seats, thereby regaining control of the delegation to D.C., but we have the opportunity to send a message to Chicago on the Potomac (University of Chicago) and the Obama Machine that even his state is not immune from the anger towards the hegemony of the Democratic party, its policies, and the general anger about the direction the President is taking the country. Every day we suffer the consequences of the liberal experiment that goes on in our fair city; record taxes, increasing crime, laws passed by a confederate of dunces in both the City Hall and Springfield, home to our state legislature, infringing on our personal liberties and cramming down debt on the backs of our generation, our children, and our grand-children’s backs, something most Americans are confronting in the age of Obama on a national scale. This blog will remark on the lead-up to the elections, the candidates, the videos, the ridiculous city hall, Chicago Style intimidation and hopefully some humor, in this, the land of the anointed one, the great hope, or in my opinion, the epic and utter fail!
On Thursday morning, Barack Obama took a break from vacation number 256 and made his debut on ABC’s, “The View.” When asked by the panel why he chose to appear on the daytime talk show he responded, “I was trying to find a show that Michelle actually watched.” Are you sure that it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that the View’s audience is 79% female and you just happen to have a 45% approval rate among women??
While Joy “I hate all conservatives” Behar was in her happy place, Elizabeth Hasselbeck was noticeably less enthusiastic. In reply to Hasselbeck’s question/claim that America seems to be in a perpetual state of “joblessness,” Obama claimed that he has actually “saved” jobs. And of course by “saving jobs” he means that 500 billion was spent to create a mere 600,000 jobs. High five! In addition to dodging politically related questions from Hasselbeck, Obama proved that he is a hip dude by saying that he has Jay-Z on his iPod, and that he actually does not know who Snooki is. Not familiar with GTL? Rude!!
I hear that Maury Povich is in the works to have Barack host the, “I’m a million percent sure you the Baby Daddy!” episode.
Prez Obama made some comments about his daughter Malia geting braces. While POLITICO is concerned about embarrassment about the new metal fixtures, I’m more concerned that Malia is now tall enough to fit into the lower end of acceptable heights of men I would date. And she’s like 10 or something. Tell Michelle to stop putting gibberellins in her veggie garden foods.
“You know, the — I don’t have teenagers yet — Malia’s just turned 12,” said Obama, according to a pool report. “She’s my baby. She’s going — even though she’s 5’9″ now, she’s still my baby. And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting — she’s starting to look too old for me.”
