It has taken Obama 18 months to put his own stylish and chic stamp on the historic Oval Office.
Snazzy brown leather on antique Federal mahogany chairs, nice dun-coloured Dralon on the sofas, a tacky and "modernist" (...) coffee table that looks like it has been covered with tiles, and topped with a bowl of apples. (Imagine Abbas munching on an apple and throwing the core behind the sofa)
On the walls what looks like a portrait of Obama's favourite minaret.
[CORRECTED] And the coup de grace: quotation from Martin Luther King around the edge of the rug that bears the seal of the POTUS.
Not.
Apparently the quotation originates with reformist and abolitionist Theodore Parker, 1810-1860. Although some of the great men named above did repeat Parker's words, they did not originate them.
Dumb and dumber!

hmmm: a bowl of apples? homage to the serpent...
I think it was just the MLK quote that was wrongly attributed.
