Two news stories about Obama re-decorating the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

FoxNews.com opens with:

"Meanwhile, Barack Obama was asked a question he’s never been posed in his more than 17 months of campaigning at a town hall in Fargo, N.D.
A woman in the audience asked Obama if he would consider redecorating the Lincoln Bedroom with Kente cloth, a woven fabric native to Ghana".

LATimes.com leads with:

"You have all these mementos of Abraham Lincoln, but you have this flat-screen TV in there," Obama told the crowd at the outdoor event."I thought to myself, 'Now, who stays in the Lincoln Bedroom and watches [ESPN's] 'Sports Center'? You've got your clicker. . . . That didn't seem to me to be appropriate. So I might take out the TV, I don't know."You should read when you're in the Lincoln Bedroom! Reread the Gettysburg Address. Don't watch TV."

I'm not saying whom is more accurate. I'm just saying that I HEARD that he was going to repaint the exterior of the building and rename it "The Black House".
