White House to transform tent to Monet masterpiece for Hollande

[Freewill]

Yes I know, it is just jealousy that those who dine at McDonalds' can't have what the Antoinette family has.

Guests will meet the Obamas and Hollande in the Blue Room, decorated with Parisian-made gilded sofas and chairs ordered for the room in 1817 by then-President James Monroe.

"Paris was the center of high-style culture," White House curator Bill Allman told reporters.

Guests will take small trolleys across the South Lawn to the tent, which will be transformed into a spring-like scene inspired by Claude Monet's Water Lilies paintings, with quince branches in full bloom, irises, blue agapanthus and lilies.

The White House kept the guest list under wraps, along with who will sit at the head table, but revealed that soul singer Mary J. Blige will perform after the dinner.

I though government can't create jobs?

 

[nodoginnafight]

IMHO, there are plenty of things to take this administration to task for.
Pulling this crap out of your ass only makes you look like one of those fools who will complain about ANYTHING.

So legitimate complaints get ignored because they get lumped in with idiotic ones like this - dismissed with a wave-off and a glib "these folks whine about EVERYTHING"

Think of that fairy-tale ball as Your Tax Dollars at Work.

Then take two aspirin and fail to wake up to reality.
