The Ugliest Oval Offices Of The 20th Century

How does Barry's Oval Office Makeover stack up historically? Better than his presidency! (Try the veal!) Prepare yourself for ugly curtains and tasteful Republicans.

• 1. JFK

  

  Hooooooo boy, that carpet. Jackie, what kind of ship were you running? (Via.)

• 2. FDR

  

  Yikes, I fear those curtains. (Via.)

• 3. Harry Truman

  

  Again, curtains not great, but I have a bigger problem with the maroon upholstery.(Via.)

• 4. Dwight D. Eisenhower

  

  That looks like the most uncomfortable couch in Presidential history. (Via.)

• 5. Jimmy Carter

  

  Very drab late 70s color scheme. (Via.)

• 6. Bill Clinton

  

  Hate the curtains, love the couches. Carpet and flag are a little matchy matchy for my tastes. (Via.)

• 7. George W. Bush

  

  Maybe the worst of all the carpets. Fine, except for JFK's. (Via.)

• 8. George H. W. Bush

  

  Good accessories. (Via.)

• 9. Richard Nixon

  

  The flags are stately! The curtains are mediocre at best. (Via.)

• 10. Barry Obama

  

  The couches are a little too late-90s Pottery Barn, but I L-O-V-E the wallpaper.

• 11. Calvin Coolidge

  

  Classy. (Via.)

• 12. Ronald Reagan

  

  Somehow the Morning In America carpet is forgivable? It's a different color scheme than W's? Oh god, I even like the accent pillows. (Via.)
