Barack and Michelle Obama herald a new wave at the White House
Posted by: Baller-in-Chief in Articles, InternationalThe Obamas, like all the White House residents before them, will put their own mark on the building. Barack has vowed to build a basketball court in the White House.
He can be almost reverential about White House history and says he will remove the big flat-screen TV from the principal guest bedroom, the Lincoln Room.
“You don’t want to be watching a sports programme
in the Lincoln Room,” he has said. “You should be rereading the Gettysburg address.”
