And you forgot all the four-legged dogs and cats that lived at the White House. A horse was once walking the halls as well.

Thumbs up Obama AND Bush both put feet on desk

Bush propped his feet up on the very same desk - so what is the big deal about Obama doing it? Or is it only ok for a white president or a GOP president to do it?

Well, as Obama is half white as well as half black, meaning he's as white as he is black, playing that race card doesn't work too well for the lefties.

I doesn't matter. They use it as an act of natural defense. When a skunk is cornered, it lets off a stink. When a cat is cornered, its hair raises up on its back. When a democrat is confused or soundly defeated in debate, it plays the race card!

While this feet on the desk thing has nothing to do with race, but FYI there are hardly any African-Americans who are fully black or have no white him them.

The thing is they are only claimed by their non-black brothers and sisters when they do something amazing like being elected president, or becoming the best golfer in the world (well, until they are caught cheating on their wife in the case of the latter)

I think what's "pathetic" is the left's tired use of the race card all the freakin' time. Get over it; the rest of us have. You know, the conservatives who helped get the Civil Rights Act passed because you southern dems didn't want no uppity Negroes to have equal rights. You remember that Abe Lincoln fellow? You know, the republican president who signed something or other freeing the slaves. Sure you do.

But conservatives are desperate. OK.

Perhaps if people would stop making a big deal out of everything the president does and making it seem as if he is the first or that everything he does is with mal intent, race wouldn't be brought into it. From putting his feet on the desk to showing his birth certificate, no other president has been called out for these things. What is the difference between him and others? How dare this boy try to act like the president. That is the mentality that some folks are working with. He is the president, get over that.
