Whoever pays, the woman has no class and no taste whatsoever. I would not let her touch anything in my house or my other house; i.e., the White House!

As President has to represent the USA on many occasions in the white house to many world leaders its incumbent on the white house to be a place that represents our country.Money has to be spent to make the venue a touch of class, for those who want to protest at every dime spent on our White House would you prefer our leader projected this as representative of our country?=

Allow me to refresh your memory? The problem wasn't tax exempt status per se, it was organizations getting tax exempt status on the condition that they'd abstain from certain types of political work and whether they actually lived up to that bargain.

de gustibus non est disputandem and all that - but I suspect we both know you would have hated the outcome no matter what.

Incidentally, haven't you been backing Trump? If you really want to bring up "class" and "taste", that is...

Oooh, there's some comedic potential here. Maybe Hillary made a disparaging comment about some exact color/pattern during the primary battle and Michelle decided to make sure she wouldn't be able to evade it for 8 years in a row?
