Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Nov 11 16:01:39 2008 The biggest decision of any new president's life....what rug will he put in the Oval Office.....now it's Obama's turn:http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/deadlineusa/2008/nov/05/obama-oval-office-rug Here's a look at the Presidents' Oval Office Rugs over the years: All photos from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2008/nov/05/usa?picture=339372895 1933: Franklin D Roosevelt in the Oval Office  1962: John F Kennedy's children visit the Oval Office  President Richard Nixon's office in the White House. The rug, designed by Mrs Nixon, featured the Presidential seal in gold in the centre and golden stars around the edge, all on a field of flag blue  President Gerald R Ford with his dog, Liberty, in the Oval Office  President Jimmy Carter  1987: President Ronald Reagan sitting at his desk in the Oval Office  1990: President George Bush and his dog Minnie in the Oval Office  President Bill Clinton delivering his first radio address to the Nation from the Oval Office  Bush and Condeleeza  (whitehousehistory.org) Personally, I think I like Bill Clinton's taste and current Geroge Bush's taste the best out of all of them, but perhaps because they are the most recent and "modern". It also appears that FDR and Nixon didn't use the same presidential desk that they others used. It seems the wood border around the office remains each time however..... Let's see what Obama's looks like..... |
