Trump turns down Obama offer to keep playset at White House

I guess because Trump doesn’t want Biden coming around the White House after January 20th?

WaExaminer: 

President Obama offered to leave his daughters’ outdoor playset at the White House for President-elect Trump’s grandchildren to use.

  1. “I guess because Trump doesn’t want Biden coming around the White House after January 20th?”

    That comment made me involuntarily laugh out loud. Kudos!

  2. I heard a call-in on Hannity’s radio show yesterday in which the black caller (a guy who had all his obama talking points down pat) accused Sean of being “racist” because he had nothing good to say about the Resident. There are, I strongly suspect, blacks (of all socio-economic positions) in this country who feel the same way; any criticism of the Resident is twisted as an attack on him being black and, therefore, racially motivated. The guy was serious as the proverbial heart attack. I’m waiting for Trump’s rejection of the Resident’s offer to leave the playground as racist (though I believe NOTHING from the media unless I can verify the info came directly from the Trump transition team or Trump, himself).

  3. The White House and the stinking playset should all be bull dozed, burnt to ashes, and everything rebuilt once the Obugger clan shuffles out.

    It wasn’t called the Lunar Lander. It first was the Lunar Excursion Module, later renamed the Lunar Module (Excursion sounded too frivolous). Back in 1968 I worked for Grumman’s in the punch press section and made parts for it.

    Designed by Grumman’s brilliant Tom Kelly, the Apollo Lunar Excursion Module (or “LEM” for short) was a triumph of purpose-built engineering. In the six years 1962-1968 between drawing board and first flight, a myriad of challenges were overcome related to weight, reliability and safety. The final design, designated the Lunar Module or “LM”, boasted tiny windows instead of large portholes, four legs instead of five and most famously had no seats ― instead relying on the astronauts’ legs to cushion a lunar landing. Ten LMs made it into space including three flown in development and test missions, and six which landed on the Moon.

    I don’t know if any of the parts I made are on the moon. My BIL (an aerospace engineer) was also hired by Grumman’s to work on it. That’s where he met my sister. There was a Module on display at the Smithsonian Aerospace Museum in DC, it might still be there.

  4. @Perspective – thanks. They assembled the LEM right behind me in Plant #2 in Bethpage, Long Island. They created a “clean” environment in that section of the plant by building a wooden structure around the work area, covered it with clear plastic and inflated it with a blower/filter to create positive pressure. Back then there were about 32,000 people working in Bethpage; by 1970 when they laid off my dad (he was a project administrator for the F-14 Tomcat) they were down to 18,000.
