Have the current WH tenants dug up Michelle's garden yet?

It would be just like those assholes.

After all, St. Ronnie took the solar panels off the roof of the White House. President Carter had those installed.

Repubbies only know how to tear down.

Michelle had permanent enclosures for the garden installed to make it difficult to rip out on a whim. A lot of remodel would have to be done, not a weekend project.

Besides, I bet the WH chef likes it.

Who is the WH chef, btw? Did 44 bring one, or do they send out for kfc and taco bell every night?

but if Trump wanted to continue to be the a$$hole that he is, he could have it dug up.

On Wednesday afternoon, Obama unveiled a much bigger version of the garden, which uses cement, stone and steel to make it a more permanent fixture on the South Lawn. The updates are seen not just as preserving Obama’s garden — recognized globally as a symbol of local food — but also as a way to dissuade, say, a President Donald Trump from scrapping it the way Ronald Reagan tore out Jimmy Carter's solar panels after he moved into the White House.

“I think people would be really upset,” said Marta McDowell, a landscape historian who recently wrote a book on White House gardens. She called Obama’s preservation plan “brilliant,” adding, “If it were taken out, it would truly just be a political statement.”

The White House has already made arrangements with the National Park Service for the future upkeep of the garden, which has served as the backdrop of meetings with world leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel. It has even managed to secure a private $2.5 million funding stream for maintenance to defray the cost to taxpayers.

I thought you meant Hillary. When I think of first ladies, I think of those two, in no particular order. I love them both.

Dang, have we gone down the wrong path. A nude model as first lady?

telling them that they are future.

Please tell me this all a bad dream.

And I feel the same way. She has been an incredible First Lady, can't imagine how anyone could ever do better. I know the president can only serve 8 years, but I kept wishing there was some way we could have kept her.
