For Markharman - Since you were unable to read your link - "It's misleading to suggest Obama
personally "spent" $370 million on White House renovations, as some posts claimed, as Congress approved the project's funding during Bush's time in office.
What Bloomberg News and CNN reported
A Bloomberg News report published in The Philadelphia Inquirer on May 22, 2010, noted that a four-year, $376 million White House renovation project had begun, stating that its purpose was to "improve the infrastructure in the East and West Wings."
According to the report, workers would be "replacing decades-old heating, cooling, electrical, and fire-alarm equipment," as well as "unspecified security systems."

Ty made the claim the Obama's used "their own funds" for White House renovations
And Snopes said they did not. Not sure what your point is here.
The point is, you got it wrong, again. You, like baron never get it right, ever.
In fact, your group gets everything wrong always. Maybe next time you should read the links you post.
You blew it, Mark…Snopes clearly showed the Obamas had Nothing to do with the $376M expense
to renovate the White House infrastructure. Stop digging…
??? YOU said earlier they used their own funds...now you're saying they didn't. Which is it?

Here's another article that also says the Obamas privately funded their renovations...which had
nothing to do with the $376M major White House Infrastructure. upgrade authorized by Congress during the Bush administration...and documented in the Congressional Record. You made a mistake...that's what happens when you follow Baron's lead...sorry about that...
Lesson...read your links carefully...and fully...

My gosh, your lack of logic is appalling
YOU made the claim Obama used "private funds" in the context of talking about $376 million in renovations. I showed that that wasn't accurate.
Now you're pivoting to the $100,000 allotted for redecorating. Nobody at the time you made your claim was talking about the $100,000 allotment as the discussion was about the $376 million renovation.
The problem is you're so logic-deficient that you cannot see your lack of logical capabilities. No wonder others have a field day with you, too.
Did the Obamas spend $376M on White House renovations?...Your Snopes reference says No...not sure
why you won't admit that fact.
Let me type slowly. You said Obama spent "his own funds" when referring to the $376 million
renovation project. This clearly was in error as the Obama's did not spend this "from their own funds."
You then pivoted to the $100,000 allotment all new presidents are given to redecorate the White House. Yet, this discussion was never about that.
Now you've gone to a technicality that the Obama's never "spent" $376 million of taxpayer money as it had already been allotted. I not once ever said the Obama's spent $376 million of taxpayer money...Baron did. But then you jumped in falsely claiming they used "their own funds" to pay for the $376 million renovation.
You're all over the place on this. Why don't you just admit you got it wrong when you said the Obama's paid for the $376 million renovation project out of "their own funds" (your direct statement) and move on?
He’s one of them “look over here but not over there guys.”

$376 million to put in some new pipes and sprinklers? Sounds about right for a government parasite.

At least some readers of the Snopes article can comprehend what actually happened...don't give up,
So you agree W Bush was a parasite. Good.
