White House To Be Redecorated on Obama's Dime

Every little bit helps, especially in this economy:

Like so many people who move into a new home, Barack and Michelle Obama have decided to do a bit of redecorating. And, as the occupants of the nation’s most famous residence, the White House, the president and First Lady are given a tax-backed budget of $100,000 to make the house their own. The first couple, however, isn’t having it and announced that they’ll be paying for everything out-of-pocket.
