Look at you destroying a perfectly good outrage thread. Tsk tsk!
While Obama plans to cut 40,000 from military, Michelle spends $600,000 on table for WH dining room

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

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.
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

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?

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??
Looks like a diet you should try.

Obama bragged about ending a successful Iraq war, and his lap dogs on here bragged also.But it was stable and secure when Obozo pulled our troops out. He said so himself....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!!!!!
Iraq wouldn't be a mess had Bush not invaded in the first place.

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

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.
