The White House has traditionally been "outfitted" in a manner intended to impress visiting dignitaries. It's been done since the beginning and it's always been done with tax dollars. Don't expect any change there. The real question should involve the number of presidential Clovers, I'm guessing there's one at the White House, one at Camp David and possibly one on Air Force One. As much as it seems to be a lot to ask of us taxpayers, just look at it this way. It's cheaper to buy a Clover than it is to pay for an investigation of weather there was any special treatment provided to the person or corporation that donated a Clover for use at the White House.

The Clover's a neat machine, but I still think the coffee from my $20 Bodum press can't be far off. I did also just see a video on Yahoo about the White House's new set of China that cost $485,000. LOL...
