The White House has 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms, and 6 levels. The President's family lives in teeny weeny portion of the "Presidential Mansion," while the rest of the building is utilized for the running of the admininstration, i.e., executive branch of government. John Quincy Adams brought a billiard table to the White House. Ulysses S. Grant added a billiard room between the greenhouse and the mansion portion of the White House. Abraham Lincoln was a strong billiard enthusiast.

WHITE HOUSE Factoid: "There was a billiard 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 billiard tables. Every President from Eisenhower, including Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, and Clinton, has used those tables."

Would YOU vote for someone from Lizard Acres, AZ? Perceptions of politicians are "snakey" at best. I'd say he has....NO CHANCE!
He does if he is running against Hillary! :rolleyes:
 
Two years ago I was lucky enough to tour the main Brunswick facility/warehouse in Wisconsin. One of the vice-presidents of Brunswick showed me the workshop where they make prototypes of the new tables. He showed me a copy of the fancy table they made for Bill Clinton while he was president. He told me, "It is a beautiful table (probably a $15K or $20K table), but yours will play better" - I was there to pick up my GCIV.

Guess I'm wrong....doesn't matter, Hillary is a waste anyway.

He better...otherwise there goes the White House billiard room again. (I swear I remember reading somewhere that she got rid of it)
LOL...Ok so I don't know how true this is, but there is I guy I met while playing pool. He had just retired form the military. He was in while Clinton was president. He said he recalled a time when Hillary got mad and wanted new furniture at Camp David so she just started throwing the furniture that was there into the pool, LMAO! No doubt she didn't want a pool table cluttering up the place.

Yeah, but at least two of them weren't playing billiards. Did they ever get the stains out? Perhaps some naive interm quite innocently stored them in the fridge. Like you do.

I gave Bill the 6 out back in '93 and drilled him.

I bet he loved it. If only you'd thought to keep the dress you'd have a fortuen as well as a good story.

...and they are Brunswicks, if I recall. I saw that factoid at Brunswick's website.

I'm not sure what you're implying and I'm not exactly sure what a fortuen is.
