20. He should be made to cover the cost

of restoring our house back to normal, where it had been and that includes everything they have cheapened. We were not asked if we wanted to pay for this. He has changed the entire meaning and feeling of OUR house without asking if we were OK with it.

This country should never be led by someone that infuriates a good part of the country every day with activities that cost us in so so many ways.

Has anyone else ever done this? I know others decorated and added gardens etc. but I never remember it not being approved or had someone who assumed it was there for their changing. Did he got permission from the R's for some of this but even they have to see how destructive this is to the country.**sorry, I had not been paying too much attention to his gaudy, tacky changes to OUR house.
