The term "home court advantage" in referring to the Oval Office was used in the West Wing episode "Shutdown" in 2003. If it was ever used before to describe the Oval Office, I'm not aware of it. President Obama was thought to been a fan of that TV series, and has frequently adapted some of its quotes and themes.
@clev9980 lol...the jimmy carter comparisons are WEAK...carter was never a good "politician"....history will judge obama in a positive light unfortuantely we are in a crisis that is the product of 20 years of mismanagement
They call it the 'SHITE HOUSE' now,do you know why? they have a pool in there but no water, so they filled it full of shit. They go down there have a bathe in the shit, and come out all covered in turds.
i wonder why in modern days presidents don't use a laptop to do their work in the oval office i would bring a laptop if i was president some day be the first one to bring one so you can do webcasts online facebook updates and a iphone for mobile updates via the oval office
@salvadorr25 no, laptops are too old for a president, they use interdimensional quantum computers...and a bag of chips is hidden in one on the drawers, but dont tell anyone
The first picture of the "contemporaryized" white house was hideous! But the decoration of the room during the interview looks in keeping with the style of the house. Not bad. But I could live withouth the 1980's stripped wallpaper "-)
I have long been a fan of the White House and it's story. And as an admirer of old houses/mansions and a profressional home renovator and amateur decorator, I must say that the Obama oval office looks the most tacky of any I have ever seen. From the cheap looking rug, to the green contrmporary lamps, all the way to the unbelievably chinsy looking Costco couches and the extraordinarily cheesy coffee table. This room now looks less insignificant and laughable. Just what I expected!
Why waste your time leaving inaccurate and obviously bias comments, nonfactual without base..... Research his background and campaign......A Communist? Socialist?....seems odd considering he was put into the oval office by all the big banks and financial institutions......hes much more a Servant of finance Capital..as were all Presidents before him (well except Andrew Jackson-&few others).....In fact mostly the same banks that Bankcrupted your Country.....The Fox is guarding the Hen House...
@imax1971 Let's see...One-term (or two) U.S. President, Nobel Prize Laureate, best-selling author, Harvard graduate, made American and world history vs. YOU a redneck southern hillbilly.....Seems like the community organizer's done much better for himself than you have for yourself. So what's your excuse imax.
@imax1971 ... you're a sad guy. This "community organizer" runs a hell of a campaign organization and he's definitely a two-term President. You can't name a Republican who can beat him. No one. He's been extraodinary and a great President. You know we once had a rail splitter who was born on a dirt floor in a log cabin who became President too. Name was Abraham Lincoln. You might have heard of him. You have no one who can beat Obama. .
@SuperEnoughAlready Hes not giving whats left to Mexico, hes splitting it up between Mexico and Canada, even better, right? The south is going to turn into the biggest crime and drug filled slum on earth while the north continues right on stealing our money and ravaging other nations. But hey, the oval office looks nice so it's all good.
@ImprettysureImright -- I always hear people from red states complain about their money going North. In reality, (in 2005) Louisiana got $1.78 for every dollar it gave in Federal taxes, whereas Massachusetts got back $0.82.
@willtor Well I live in Pennsylvania and I'm not speaking of our tax dollars being spread unevenly across the U.S. I'm speaking of the corrupt bankers and political officials who steal it. My reasoning for saying north was because of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street.
Just like the infamous White sofa with Blue stripes from IKEA they strapped to the top of a limo, they'll be strapping all this furniture to the top of their cars soon with a sign that reads "Chicago, or Bust".
OVAL OFFICE RUG! They got Martin Luther King and Teddy Roosevelt's quotes WRONG! Democrats are revisionists but in this case they it's just more plain stupidity! What Morons! The interview was good until BHO started BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE but himself. Black people should be pissed that our President destroyed the american economy. Like it or not, the 2012 Presidency will belong to a white man or maybe a white woman. Nice Going Barry! You really set back race relations in America!
this country is filled with illerate dumb fucks which are most the black and mexican people have fun with ur contry guys ill moving ill sick of people like obama look at him not one good thing came out his monkey ass
Say NO to socialism and communism. Say YES to cite youtube and other liberal media sites of imposing on the 1st amendment of the United States Constitution.
Please people..let him go back to be a teacher in Chicago...he just is not cut out for President!..it does not matter who the next is...he is anti american..does notlike whites and is a marksist!!!.
He really is just too immature..make my words 1 term!!!
@livininwartime - Why even put that out there but by design to confuse the people (emphasis on design) - control by trickery and deceit, precisely due to the addition and EMPHASIS on that other word.
@mamasuntwinkle It is infact a democratic republic because we both elect representatives, and vote, while voting for certain representatives has nothing to do with our vote, and it is all about the electoral college. we elect many people to vote on laws (house of reps, congress) but we also vote on certain things, such as prop8 <.< but still i have no voting experience because im only 14! lol!
@mamasuntwinkle maby you should look up the third grade american history cylabis for texas... it might surprise you to learn that i am much smarter than you think, im not stupid, and if your way older than me than you might be also surprised to learn that the education and what we learn at younger ages has greatly improved >.> i take great interest in american history and politics and know quite a bit because i learn about more and more every day because my of my father
@mamasuntwinkle oh yes those are all totally needed <.< because of my advanced education... its ok i know you have no sense of what i have been saying, and also actually you dont need to put w w w before them, try it, you might be surprised you know, with your incompitence and such
Of course the system of government is a republic.
A democracy in the modern sense of the word is a country with periodical free and fair elections. So the US is a democracy in that sense of the word. That is what he means.
@lildwayne21 Well if that's a typical GOP comment, And I also get those Typical DEM comments, whats that make me then???? because you obviously didn't read my comment about Bush and Blair being butt buddies in Spandau tonite!
lol some one have to make a funny version were they change it into a gansta place with a fridge full of 40's a striper pole a 70 in. flatscreen an xbox 360 and a disco ball
Being President of the US is a tough job...vacations are needed! He's taken half less of what our prior President has taken when it comes to vacations at this point so what about that? Take your vacations Mr. President and I love the new decor!
@sass9507 Yes, 6 vacations is less than 6 months when 9% of the nation is unemployed is totally acceptable. By the way, when you go to your own home it's not considered a vaction. This President is worthless.
Oh but you vacation 10 times or something ridiculous like that since taking office, one of which was some extravagant exploit in SPAIN of all places! Hypocrite.
