[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems as if all the pearl clutching about the reflecting pool was for naught.

[b]Even liberals who see it are impressed.  Just like all the other monuments and fountains Trump has cleaned up.  [/b]

A reminder of how the renovation of the reflecting pool went with Obama:

I would like to see some proof of that.

As for what happened under the Obama administration - the pool had cracked and was leaking, and losing 500,000 gallons of water a weak. Because it didn't have a circulation system, it needed draining, cleaning, and refilling twice a year. And even with that, it would stink because of goose poop, and assorted debris.

The Department of Interior repaired the pool and installed a new circulation system as well as a new filtration system and pilings. They had also catalogued the 580 granite stones that edged the pool in 1920s, and put them back into place.

This is not at all the same thing as a no-bid contract given to one of Trump's cronies with no experience with restoring historical structures, or paying him $13 million for a paint job to make it look like a swimming pool and not a reflecting pool.[/quote]

I.e., nothing got fixed or restored. It's going to be gunked back up in a couple weeks.[/quote]

Absolutely, it'll be a mess in a few days, the pool is now a symbol and therefore a target. [/quote]
