Peeved People Protest Presidential Pool
- Thread starter Mr. Bond
- Start date
If in good shape, I wonder what the value of something like that would be. Imagine playing billiards on the same table many presidents played over the years!
yeah - i'd love to see that table too 
but unfortunately, the whitehouse not only has a long history of pool playing presidents - it also has a long history of first ladies that throw out billiard tables
lovely hillary, the bleep bleeep bleeep did it too...
you can say a lot of things about G.W. Bush - but at least he had the testicular fortitude to put a nice table back in the whitehouse.
hopefully mama obama doesnt pull a fast one

From the Brunswick site:
"...There was a Brunswick table in the White House during the administrations of several recent presidents. And when President Eisenhower established Camp David, it was furnished with not one, but four Brunswick tables. Every President since Eisenhower—Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Clinton—has used those tables. "
More recently (in 1995) Brunswick donated a beautiful antique table to the Whitehouse to commerorate their 150th anniversary. (The Brunswick 'Jewel')
But Hillary had officially done away with the billiard room when she moved in.
(I knew there was a reason I didnt like her) So the table was installed at Camp David instead.
When the Bush family moved back in, the Whitehouse billiard room was once again "in play". So The Jewel was retrieved from Camp David and was installed where it was intended to be in the first place, in the Whitehouse.

with all due respect, i don't see any credit being given to the newspaper, or the actual author of the story that she quoted literally word for word.
unless her real name is Carolyn Kaberline, that's not real cool in my book.
the real article source

JAM was just posting the info, I never thought she wrote it. She's the fastest transcriptionist in DC and is always having to to gather additional info on anything the politicians want transcribed. Occasionally it's pool related things.
not dissin anyone - just sayin - as a general rule its not a good idea to quote directly from someone else's work, without giving proper credit to the writer or source. some folx take plagiarism and copyrights fairly seriously ~
