Apparently no one ever done this before.

Man, if I was the President I woud frequently put my feet on the desk, lean back, rest my head on my hands and think, I'm the fucking President man. That is so fucking cool. So I can't begrude it to any one else.

Hey! I just realized something! If the desk was a gift to President Hayes - then Obama must have stolen it!

Me too- I would nail as many women on the top of that desk as I could, just to imprint my scent on it like a bull in rut, so that for generations, future Presidents would walk in the Oval office, inhale, and say, Damn, HE STILL owns the room!

Well honestly, just purely as a matter of etiquette I think it's kinda rude to put your feet up in people's faces like that no matter who you are.

I suppose if they were in sitting position around both men's desks I would agree with you, but since they are a few feet away and standing, not so much

Strangely most are simple copy and pastes of two different base essays. Someone willing to spend some time could probably traxck this down to the original authort(s) but I can't be bothered.

Animus tried to insinuate that he found it on FOX News, which means that this thread is just your typical poorly thought out far left smear job. I wonder if Rex really wants to be held to account for everything that far left communist and socialist wackos post on the Internet. After all, this should work both ways, shouldn't it?

But there is at least some humor to be found in this thread in how the left is proud of the way that Obama is living up to the standards set by Bush...

While you may find humor in it, I think its just pretty pathetic.  I'm not even a president of anything, and will put my feet up pretty much anywhere and on anything.
