    If all of the art he selected had been art professor type fare, he would be another arugula eating limosene liberal who windsurfs with John Kerry. His collection would have been seen as a testament to how out of touch he is with "real" Americans whose idea of art may or may not be a life sized cardboard cutout of Jeff Gordon and a light up picture of a blonde Jesus, and a cutesy sign hand lettered with purposefully childish writing that says something like "Life Is Not The Breaths You Take, But The Moments That Take Your Breath Away!!!!!!!" I mean really. If I were the President, I'd just say fuck all y'all haters and buy a bunch of puppy posters interspersed with some original Jasper Johns and, like, concert posters. #artssake

    @Leucadia: I was given one of those little, generic, hand-painted inspirational signs as an engagement present. "Live. Laugh. Love." I'm pretty sure that is like the gateway sign that every married couple MUST have before they move on to more annoying signs. I got two more as a wedding present ("Friends. Faith. Family" and "No matter what, no matter where it's always love if love is there!"). If only my Southern aunt could see my hovel of a West LA apartment that is furnished almost entirely by Ikea. I don't mind getting mass-produced crap if it's useful like a pot. But if you're going to get me something that seems heartwarming and personal, maybe it would be nicer to actually get something that doesn't sit in the home of every single person you know.

    I wouldn't mind the painting in controversy, if it's been sent back... #artssake

    What the hell? An interest in the arts is important, and desirable in the person leading our country. But do we want him to be a thoughtful, well researched art critic understanding all the nuances of each peice in the White House? Or, have an appreciation of art but spend most of his time,say, fixing the myriad of issues plaguing the country at the moment. This is becoming a contest of "What Can't the Obamas do Wrong?" #artssake

    @mbprice: Now Jackson Pollock isn't my favorite artist, but the abstract expressionist movement just doesn't appeal to me, but that doesn't mean that what he did wasn't art, and that it was easy.

    When I lived in London and took a tour through Tate Modern I got to learn more about his inspirtations and processes. His methods were innovative, just because it may look like any novice could do the work doesn't mean that they actually can, and no one else had done it before him. #artssake

    Maybe this was dumb of me, but I'm (happily!) surprised that Bo is allowed all over the House. I guess I sort of thought that White House pets weren't like regular pets and were maybe relegated to certain areas only. As I said, I am happy to learn that my assumption was wrong. It's nice that the First Dog is still a real part of the family, like any regular pet. I just got back from my house; I go home every day around lunchtime to let him out to pee and all, and now I want to go back home so I can smell his delicious ears some more. I don't know why, but the smell of dog ears is like a narcotic to me. #barackobama

    @thecameralovesyou: Yeah, they keep it at the ready, just like their "SO WORTH IT" face, right after they eat your steak and napkin. Dogs, they know you won't kill them, so they might as well ruin your dinner. #barackobama

    @midwestdesigner: It IS fancy! But he's not fancy at all. Give him a stuffed toy to rip to shreds and a greenie, and he's set. #barackobama

    @thecameralovesyou: SO glad you brought up the corn chip smell! I always tell my pug she smells like tacos after she's been curled up all warm and cozy. #barackobama

    @thecameralovesyou: Really?! The vet says that some dogs have really, like, active ones and they have to get them expressed by the vet techs every few weeks. I haven't subjected our dog to this, even though the one time the vet did it he didn't seem to mind. It's not all the time, and it usually only happens when he's asleep, but sometimes if he barks really suddenly it sort of sprays out. I've caught him licking it up so many times and I cannot for the life of me figure out how something that smells so bad can possibly taste good. So anyway now that you're done vomiting, maybe you could tell me where I get this bran stuff? #barackobama

    @thecameralovesyou: Thank you. If your suggestion can help combat this very smelly issue, I will personally bake you a box cake and send it to you. Or if you're too far away geographically, I will just mail you the box of cake mix and a can of frosting. #barackobama

    @thecameralovesyou: Excellent. Tell me, do you like the Funfetti frosting, with its bits of unidentifiable-yet delicious-colored matter? Because that seems like an appropriately festive thank-you gift, if you're interested. #barackobama

    @Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I like anything that starts with frost and ends with ing. That's me. I used to say that I'd prefer cake if it was reversed, with the majority being icing and the rest is cake. #barackobama

    @thecameralovesyou: i can't believe you said that (in a good way)!!! my husband and i have always thought we were the only ones to notice that our oldest dog's toes smell like corn chips. we also thought that it might be specific to this dog (our other one does not have the same smell on his feet). is this a thing? do other people know? #barackobama

    @dr.seabreeze: Oh MANY people know. On dogster apparently people talk about it a lot (if you follow my link above to the page where a vet explains why the frito paw happens, he mentions that he gets asked about it a lot). And all of my friends all have dogs with frito paws! Join the club (note: there is no actual club that i know of) #barackobama
