Obama's Oval Office Makeover Feels Like 'Den'; No Taxpayer Money Was Spent
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyIt is arguably the world's most famous office, but it's doubtful many viewers of President Obama's address to the nation Tuesday night noticed the makeover the West Wing room got while the president was on vacation. The Oval Office has been redecorated. It's still round. But in some ways, it looks more like a well-appointed den than a formal place where some of the most powerful people in the world meet.

By Denise Williams - Politics DailyI saw the picture to the left today on the Christian Science Monitor website today and I said, "wait a minute.....isn't that W's rug???"That same rug that President Bush was so proud of.
