CNN report from 2010: $376 million White House renovation during the Obama Administration. Where was the Democrat outrage then? Also that was paid for by the taxpayers.

Do you get any of your information or news from something that's not a meme or social media misdirect?

Because if you did, you wouldn't spew constant nonsense that's meant to manipulate your thoughts like this one.

Try something, just a few times, to see how different the world actually is from the BS bubble you live in. The next five things you read on your social media feed or in a chain email from a politician, look it up first before believing it. See how much it matches actual reality.

Because if you'd done that with this you'd have found out that it was renovations/upgrades with associated funding that was passed in...2008 under GW Bush.

The renovations under Obama did take place. Both CNN and Bloomberg News reported in 2010 about a four-year, $376 million White House renovation project beginning during his presidency.

However, many social media posts omitted key context: Congress approved the funding in 2008 following a report by the administration of then-President George W. Bush, and the renovations aimed to upgrade the building's aging infrastructure, according to the news reports.

It's misleading to suggest Obama personally "spent" $370 million on White House renovations, as some posts claimed, as Congress approved the project's funding during Bush's time in office.

Will you f*&^ing turds please just admit you're easily had rubes and start looking into s*&^ before believing it?
