The Rich Life!
Obama's New Decorator -- You Be the Judge

The White House private quarters will be gussied up by interior designer Michael Smith. The dude has decorated the homes of Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman and Michelle Pfeiffer.



Smith is big into antiques that feel "airy and family friendly" -- whatever that means.

So look at the gallery and tell us....

151. BTMF (and all of your other names and personalities) Right back at ya!! You Betcha! At least I can laugh at myself and put a little humor in my posts - you sound like you are about to blow an artery with your hate ("sad, pathetic, judgemental")...isn't that a trait of intolerance?? That, and wanting my head on a wall...Classic!!

152. How much can be done with a building that's probably on the National Historic Register and full of antiques that belong to the house. What are they going to paint over the wallpaper and do a faux finish?

153. It is customary for the president and his family to decorate their living quarters ( a la Nancy Regan and her expensive china). Also, just to remind a few of you who has beef with Michelle's mother living at the "HOUSE" , Miss Lillian, Jimmy Carter"s mother lived there, so take that confederate flag and stick it

154. Is it me or does this place look like a cross between some generic hotel room and a 1960's look? I realize the man is half white at least, but I agree, could they have put more of their own touch on it?? I realize that Obama does not have time to sit around picking out wall paper.........................but hey Michelle...................put your own stamp on there!!!!

155. Judy . As per your posts, you spew forth horribly cruel comments. You are what you are. A typical bully. And typically you can't recognize it { or face it } However , your posts reflect your nature.

156. Really?? This kind of diagnosis and judgement from someone who calls herself "nasty girl?" What's that all about??
I will assume you will not respond, because you can't...but where exactly in my posts am I "cruel" and/or bullying?? Specific examples, please...
I have never addressed you and yet you judge - the bully is in the mirror, honey.

160. arent we supposed to be in a recession? our new prez should practice what he preaches.....

161. Nasty girl - "All of your posts" does not answer my question. For someone with such a grasp of my personality that you can judge, I thought you could come up with a better answer than that. Specifics, please...C'mon if you are going to accuse, you have to prove your accusations. Just being "nasty" doesn't cut it.
The People have Spoken - do YOU have any specifics for how I am addressing "everyone" - I didn't think so...

162. Since black people refer to themselves as African-Americans and not just Americans, I am now going to refer to myself as
a Mayflower American since my ancestors came to this country on the Mayflower.

163. judy . You have asked me a question. I have given you an answer.

164. My ancestors lived in the garden of Eden, which is located in Babylon. I shall call myself a Babylonian American

165. This is such bologna! This is called interior design? You must be joking!!!
I am anxious to see how the rest of the Obama family will decorate their
rooms too (on our tax dollars), you know.... all the aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces,
nephews, baby mommas..........instead of interior design they should consider
a contractor to give everyone enough room !!!! hahahahaha
