The Obama bed has made its way from a fancy antique shop in Seekonk, Massachusetts, to the White House. The 200-year-old antique tall-post tiger maple bed was resized to king for the Obamas. The bed comes from Leonards antiques, which did not reveal the price. A local newspaper noted that "similar items on the Leonard’s website are priced between $9,000 and $10,000." According to reports, Leonards "has furnished the homes of Hollywood stars like Bill Cosby and Robert Redford."Too bad Obama spent so much (of our?) money, since he could have gotten a bed for free from Beds for Obama. But that would have been so commoner.
