One of the first thing any new president does it pick out the design for his new carpet because it takes a year to get it designed, bid out and made. Obama's rug was made in Michigan and took 570 man hours with a total of 30 craftsmen working on. And, no, the tax payers didn't pay for it or any of the renovations. I think it's pretty traditional for a president to use the office for a time before he decides what he wants in the way of furnishings. Obviously, the two couches suggests he wants his staff to be comfortable.

Who cares? You rightwingers would complain if Obama spent money changing from 1-ply toilet paper to 2-ply! Maybe Obama didn't like sitting in the beer fart stained chair Dubya left behind!
I just do not have a dog in this fight. All or most of the presidents redecorate and the fund are in place for that. We really do have bigger problems than the bad/good taste of the white house occupants.
I would have redecorated it to resemble the control room of the Enterprise
I wonder if there is an oval office makeover software out there, I am full of ideas
What a great idea!
I would buy a book that had great office ideas.
I see a Learning Channel gig in your future.

Say it's not true.
It was ugly the first time around.
