At yesterdays's White House press briefing, the first question was from a reporter asking if President Obama's "redecorating" metaphor applied to the White House. Robert Gibbs handled the question well:
It was a nice attempt at a "Gotcha!" These days, there's no amount of money low enough to sound good in that situation. However, Gibbs countered well with the children.
I'll be interested to see if the right presses this line of attack, now that the Obama children are involved. My guess is it would be a bad move, especially considering the latest attempt (by the mayor of a tiny town with no party affiliation) to "redecorate" the White House.
Now, if the President starts installing, like, a jacuzzi in every room, that might be a different story. Unless, of course, he also puts one in the briefing room. That's change we can believe in.
