Nice to see that thread title was changed. Sad that a number of people on here lack basic respect for another man's wife. Anyway, not really concerned about the WH garden.
As a farmer, I would like to note that farming is work; hard, physical work.
This is a faux garden, not a farm. If this first wookie can't pick her own crops, she should have never destroyed the White House lawn by planting them.
Cept that most of what's grown is donated to soup kitchens and food banks.
Actually, from the article, MOST of what was grown is laying on the ground rotting!
My wife and I got everything out of our garden, and she canned pickles and froze vegetables for several days.
Somehow, I just can't see the obamas out in the garden pulling weeds and harvesting produce, just as I can't see them in the White House kitchen slaving away over a hot canner preserving the vegetables.
It is very obvious that nothing like that is going to happen!
The Obama's make more in a month than most Americans make in a year. She can sure as hell hire her own damn gardener.....
the current annual salary for POTUS is $450,000.00. the annual budget for WH grounds maintenance ( not including employee salaries ) is $6,057,000.00.
