Why is a man who tore down part of the White House, is desecrating the rest of it with hideous tacky .

…. gold crap, is building a SHAKE DOWN SHACK but calling it a ballroom for his 80 year old
ass who can’t dance why is he still in the White House?

For the love of dog he destroyed the work of Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Jackie
Kennedy that was priceless.

his ass-kissers are still in power. That could conceivably change following the midterms or if he dies soon--and I'n thinking of the Mark Twain quote here, You know the one.

The architect overseeing this desecration is a DC architect. I forget his name.

I read an item on another blog that he has been referred to the American Institute of Architects for an ethics violation for his involvement in this desecration.

When he leaves, he will take it with him. Also surprised he is not selling pieces of the East Wing as souvenirs and pocketing the proceeds.

I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on steady advance. And even should the cloud of barbasrism and despotism again obscure the science and liberties of Europe, this country remains to preserve and restore light and liberty to them.
In short, the flames kindled on the 4th of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism.

- Thomas Jefferson
