Room Rater isn't really into neutral principles of interior decoration.



Not even a mention of the empty shelves. And he gets a perfect 10? This is kind of like the way he won the Nobel Prize, and it's actually patronizing. To leave no room to say "perfect" is to say this is as good as I think you're going to get.

wow - he's a NAZI all right.

I thought this "roomer rather" was comical but now I see it's all political too. Click off.

In the footage, members of Rose City Antifa explain various strategies for inflicting street violence while concealing it from the public.

Also know as - information hidden by the hack-D press.

and - the left wing collective must now smear the messenger. That's what loyal heal-clicking Soviet Poot Poodles do.

Don't empty shelves beg to be filled up? (I mean empty suits)
is Obama room in Washington DC or Marthas Vineyard?

tim maguire said...

There's a lot wrong with Obama's room but he gets a 10 because he's Obama. There's a lot wrong with Posobiec's room but he gets a 0 because he's Posobiec. A fair rating system would have given them something closer to 6 and 4, respectively.

Why is it that the people most careless about injecting their politics into non-political situations always have such stupid politics?

Leland said...

Rooms don't have empathy and desires. I think this is just a rater of people and not rooms. Then again, it was clear from the beginning this is a person that enjoys judging others.

Sebastian said...

"Not even a mention of the empty shelves. And he gets a perfect 10?"

Sure. The emptiness of the shelves perfectly complements the hollowness of the man.

"This is kind of like the way he won the Nobel Prize, and it's actually patronizing."

Progs like it that way, and blacks go along, so far preferring the benefits of soft bigotry over the harder challenge of equal treatment, at least outside of athletics.

But what does it do for the self respect of a group when they blithely accept such patronizing?

Questions for Inga.

If Antifa thugs show up at my house to break windows and smash my property – and I shoot them in self-defense, - will Inga be thrilled because I really killed some white supremacists?
Also, Inga, Pertaining to the Antifa thugs who beat up Andy NGO – ( all documented on film ) – they were ALL Antifa thugs. A large pack of them. Back then, there were no boogaloo scapegoats to blame. You leftists hadn't created them yet. Right? So Inga, do you face the real reason Andy got assaulted in the steet?
He was beaten because he was FILMING Antifa and their criminal acts – and Antifa didn’t like that.

Antifa demand group-think and obedience to their collective leftwing sociopath anarchy. Andy did not obey, and will not oblige. So Andy, who happens to be gay and Asian, was targeted and attacked by leftist supremacist anarchists.
Which makes leftwing Antifa anti-gay and anti-Asian bigots. (leftwing anarchists supported by the likes of Andrea Mitchell - a "news person.")

If you call out violence and corruption on the left - you are a "right wing nazi"

Ask yourself - does that make you one too?

Obey.

Mr Wibble said...

Posobiec's room looks like most people's home office.

Obama's room looks like it was picked out of a catalog, and that no one actually uses it. Which, in many ways, is the story of Obama: it's entirely a facade of upper-middle-class white aesthetics and posturing.

I think for the nazi fuk a poster of a large pizza hanging on the otherwise blank door would have been nice. For balance.

Room Rater is just more leftist noise. All the fun accounts eventually think they need to unveil their political opinions, and it isn't fun.

Obama elevated crook Biden and crook Hillary to the highest levels of government.

This is kind of like the way he won the Nobel Prize, and it's actually patronizing. To leave no room to say "perfect" is to say this is as good as I think you're going to get.

Exactly. This is what happens when you grade on a curve. You top-out and soon the bar is SO low that EVERYONE is a perfect 10 (well except those deplorables of course, that goes without saying)!

MayBee said...

And it is patronizing to act like Obama's empty bookshelves are somehow perfect. What would RR have said about W's empty bookshelves? That he can't read? That's what the funny line was back in the day, right?

It's patronizing to act like black people need to riot and loot. It's patronizing to say they are being led to riot or loot by white supremacists. It's all patronizing.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

" .. “America is burning. But that’s how flowers grow.” So spoke Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey.

“Riots are an integral part of the country’s march toward progress.” So read a statement from the Democratic Committee of Fairfax County, Virginia, the affluent Washington suburb that has a population of 1 million.

“Please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful,” asked CNN’s Chris Cuomo. He’s apparently been too busy interviewing his brother, the governor of New York, to reread the First Amendment, which protects “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” "

As in the 1960s, violent rioting hurts the most disadvantaged

You think Obama gives a shit? Tucked away in his mansion...

John said...

Thanks for the smile. Nice to see the continuing idolization from the left. I especially appreciate the undertanding that to give a 10/10 for something as supposedly mundane as the decoration of your background is truely patronizing.

Ann Althouse said...

"A serious person has full bookshelves with books laid horizontally both on books on the shelves and on top of the bookshelf itself."

Room Rater has an ongoing thing against horizontal books. It's kind of a running joke and kind of a personal preference that is believed in as an aesthetic principle.

narciso said...

room rater's founder, is loony louise partner in the russian hoax, I know that was four hoaxes ago' as for obama 'a tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing told by an idiot,'

Mary Beth said...

No bunker mentality. Just empathy and a desire to move forward. A bright shining example of how to president.

It doesn't even mention anything about what's in the room!

Ann Althouse said...

Here's a flaw I'd point out in Obama's "perfect" backdrop. The flowers are jammed into too short of a space, with the tops of them touching the next shelf.

MadisonMan said...

I don't like that lamp placement in the Obama shot. Especially if it's the only one.

Howard said...

Yeah the flowers bothered me to. That's one of those internal composition rules that is very difficult to violate with success.

btw- I ask - Has anyone seen a media photo of these so-called evil people wearing Hawaiian shirts?

All the media generated "stories" about the Hawaiian shirt wearing thugs - there are NO photos to go along with. (correct me if I'm wrong)

There are boat-loads of window smashing, looting, and property damage by the leftwing anarchists and the angry protestors. (no - not all protestors are out to smash things) but most are.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

The Obama space is staged to make him look less wealthy that he is. Staged is the word.
Like Obama himself. A production.

John Borell said...

Room Rater blocked me a few weeks ago. I have to admit, I don't miss it, especially since it turned political.

We don't have to make everything political.

Oh, I guess the left does.

tim maguire said...

Ann Althouse said...the flowers are jammed into too short of a space,

Yep, they don't fit. They were clearly put there for the broadcast, to make his room seem less antiseptic and clinical. As Sheridan rightly points out, this room is staged. It's not how he normally has it--that in itself should be a disqualifier.

Here's another flaw--the single off-center lamp creates a visual imbalance.

MayBee said...

Althouse- yes the flowers are jammed into too short a space, as are the two weird candles. If those are real candles, they would be dangerous to have in that short of a nook.

If I had to guess...I would guess he had pictures of himself (with world leaders? ) on those shelves so he took them off.
It's hard to know which one of his houses this was filmed in. If it's the Hamptons house, he might not be fully moved in. I doubt it's the Chicago house (does he still own that?). Or does he have an office that we pay for (remember how that was a thing?)

John Borell said...

And what's with "fuks"?

If you're going to swear, fucking swear. You don't half-ass swearing.

Bill, Republic of Texas said...

Just another hater. Althouse just now clues in? She's blogged about this guy being political before.

Lurker21 said...

Roomrater worked in the Clinton White House.

I'm not sure, but I think he was in charge of the interns.

Apparently, he spent too much time worrying about what was on the shelves to notice other things that were going on.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Hey look - footage and proof Antifa Fascists are all a figment of Andrea Mitchell's imagination.

They are all really sekrit right-wingers! Amazing tricks.

IgnatzEsq said...

It's almost as if Room Rater has an ongoing thing about rating rooms based on things other than the room. It's why when I tried looking at it for entertainment, I stopped pretty quickly.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Another progressive brain dead activist has a social media account where he pretends to do one thing (#roomrater) when the point is obviously to score points (#NAZI!) against badorangeman and support fascist progressivism. How tedious. Does it at least mark this loser’s last appearance on Althouse? Probably not. This is where her tastes vastly diverge from my own interests. This jerk is just the robin givahn of roomrating doing standard issue prof commentary in the guise of doing other things. Am I the only one weary of these fraud-writers?

Temujin said...

Obama's bookshelves are normally full of books. His own books. With His own face shining down on Him. He likes to remind people that He's an author as well. But in this case He removed them so that he did not look utterly, you know, all about Him. This is, after all, about others.

It must have been hard for him.

RoseAnne said...

Are they even books? The room reminded me of the media room of a place I used to work. A few
business related (although not with logo) "art" on shelves and a variety of training films that we were supposed to watch but never did. Primarily used for calls or meetings that were confidential. Now, it would probably be used for Zoom meetings. The empty shelves was the first thing I noticed.

RoseAnne

Temujin said...

Flowers: Nice catch, Ann. Clearly these were jammed in there at the last minute to make it nicer, or to fill in a space that was previously filled up with his own books. (see my previous comment). But no one would have jammed flowers in there in a real setting. It's so...Potemkin of him.

Obama is still leading from behind. Even his bookshelves are empty.

alanc709 said...

Room rating is elitist effete nonsense. Judge someone by the content of their staged room environment? Why not ask them to grade themselves?

mezzrow said...

I've always contended that fascism was basically an aesthetic movement.

Lurker21 said...

What's with all the knick-knacks, Obama? Surprisingly low book to tchotchke ratio.

Also, those books are small, thin and cheap. Not like the thick volumes other politicians like to have on their shelves. Is this a sign of modesty or of pretentiousness on the part of the ex-president and (more likely) his staff and decorators? Are they cheap because he actually reads them and doesn't have them for show, or because the titles can't be read, or is it just unthinking carelessness, like the time he gave Gordon Brown a boxed DVD set and Queen Elizabeth an I-pod with his speeches?

rcocean said...

Obama's room is pretty ah...*Functional*. I wouldn't give that 10/10. Can anyone read the titles of the books, some of them seem to have tape over them, which looks suspicious.

rcocean said...

are those flowers Fake? Why put real flowers in that space?

rcocean said...

Room rater is a left wing Antfa Fuck. Why is he allowed to spread his hate?

stevew said...

Doesn't appear to be a particularly well read fellow, and he only chooses books that will fit vertically. Yet the German Judge saw fit to award a 10.

A Black President, with a Black AG, working with Black Mayors, and Black Police commissioners failed to "move forward"

How about a more accurate, four decades of Democrat Leadership has no desire to move forward.

Anyone who is critical of leftwing crime should have their rooms shamed and they should be called NAZI!

Bay Area Guy said...

If Obama were in a poorly painted room, with Farrah Fawcett Majors and Bruce Lee posters, and no books, wearing a bathrobe, these fawning idiots would still give him a 10.

Obama's room looks exactly like a room designed by an interior decorator friend of Mrs. NorthOfTheOneOhOne. Her business is largely made up of baseball players who've just signed their first big major league contract and buy a house in Scottsdale because their team trains in Arizona in the spring. She provides every book, every piece of artwork, every knick knack on the shelves because most of those guys come from humble backgrounds, own nothing, and have no clue as to how to decorate a house. (Same goes for their wives/girlfriends.)

The soft bigotry of low expectations

TreeJoe said...

Obama's space and lighting is nice, but 10/10? That's crazy.

Also, shouldn't room rater deduct points for un-presidential conduct by, IDK, spying on an opposing party's political campaign on pretenses that have since been discovered to have been:

1. False and unjustified
2. Created and paid for by your same parties national committee and primary presidential candidate campaign

I mean that's kinda the "coup" de grace of Obama's presidential time, wasn't it? Shouldn't it be worth a -1 point?

"Not even a mention of [Obama's] empty shelves"

Indicative of an empty head; his thoughts are only those of what he handlers tell him.

Char Char Binks, Esq. said...

Since Room Rater was never anything but an expression of snobby, snotty, trifling inanity, I knew whoever was behind it was a leftist, and probably a queer. Maybe it’s a group, and not just one person; if so, I’m sure they’re all lefties, and all or mostly queers.

Bruce Hayden said...

I thought that his bookcases looked like Obama. Essentially intellectually incurious, and well curated. But keep in mind that the Obama’s just got finished with living for eight years in a museum, where everything was heavily curated.

Static Ping said...

It's not like Room Rater ever claimed to be neutral, or provide a useful service for that matter. It is just fluff and he is only interested into providing that fluff to people who follow his religion and masochists.

Also, what's up with the football? I suppose it could be signed by someone interesting.

The lamp my be asymmetric in the photo, but it's not clear the shelves don't extend further right. What I find weird about it is that is mounted on the front edge of the shelving. Someone ran wiring inside the vertical supports?!?

rehajm said...

The other thing is it would be one thing if the room was pretty good but that would never pass muster with anyone halfway competent design student. No symmetry, no dynamic asymmetry, fake flowers(?) out of proportion to the shelf, bare shelves, uninteresting books.

The football and the Bo statue are good but the ball is up in the top shelf, bring it down, balance out the size of the book stacks and you might have something respectable.

Does anyone really believe those book shelves were not staged by staff? That's why there are empty book shelves framing his head, it looks better on camera. But really, the empty book shelves represent the things he did to improve Black lives over eight years.

It's the only way Obama can ever look good - with a liberal application of the ol' Affirmative Action mentality. The Left does it automatically, so this Room Rater fellow is no more surprising than the Nobel committee.

I must be pretty serious then.

Em-pathetic.

Alt-right, yes as in left-wing. The Nazi fuks are Pro-Choice (e.g. selective-Jew, life deemed unworthy of life), diversitist (i.e. color judgment), politically congruent, redistributive change (i.e. the Jews have too much), social progress, and social justice adventures (i.e. elective wars, catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform).

ddh said...

Some of the bookshelves in President Obama's room (which looks more like it's in a city than at the beach) are completely bare. The man reads, but not a lot, even though he has tons of free time.

LordSomber said...

"Room Rater has an ongoing thing against horizontal books. It's kind of a running joke and kind of a personal preference that is believed in as an aesthetic principle."

If one's shelves are full, how is one to store the extra books?

There are most likely several (more than a few, but less than a lot) protests where it's just a bunch of people in some towns around the US, holding signs, maybe chanting a few things at passersby.

Something that's completely un-newsworthy (sic). Take a photo of it is like taking a picture of a cat sitting on the floor.

Apologies if I am repeating a comment: Obama has framed himself in the video shot. Stuff to the left, stuff to the right, the flat thing above and 2 little roundish things on either side of his head. Nothing directly behind him. Nothing to distract the viewer from his noble visage! Gawd

Re: Obama’s room:

Where are the columns?

wildswan said...

Agree on the flowers - and crushing flowers that way is really very ugly. Then I tried to read the book titles. I think the black covered book slightly to the left and below the squashed flower is Caving by James Lovelock. He was a Gaia creator and also wrote a book in 1969 on caving techniques. This whole shelf has books without a bookend (or a pile of books lying flat) to hold them upright. Books shelved like that would tip over as soon as you reached for a book. The whole thing has a nice look at first glance but as you look longer it seems stranger and stranger so as a presentation of "My Room" by Barack Obama, I would give it a 10 also.

gg6 said...

Pathetic.It says so much about so little it's worth a cry.

wildswan said...

Hey, why not have your commenters send in pictures of the wall in their rooms they'd have behind them on Zoom and see if we can guess whose room it is? Inga of course would have that big Soviet flag circled with mourning ribbons but others might be interesting to guess at.

Yeah, patronizing. And my black friends tell me they feel it every single time it happens to them. And they don't like it. I doubt Barry likes it. But those white folks who say they love him keep doing it.

Now, that is true white privilege. If patronizing black people were a religion, Winnetka, Illinois would be the Vatican.

Room Rater is run by a Bill Clinton staffer who also runs an anti-Trump PAC. Not surprised he's not a fan of Jack Posobiec or that he fawns on Barack Obama.

Hmmm...two thoughts:

* "turning...away from the darkness and hate"...it hasn't worked on you yet.

* Brees "apologized" for his statement about disrespect of the flag because it was politically-correct to do so. He is a white QB on a team that is majority black in a city that is majority black. His teammates called him out on it, as did the...dare I say this on Madame Le Professeur's blog?...overrated Aaron Rodgers. And he got hammered by the outrage mob.

In a phrase, he was shouted down for his not-so-deft expression of his unvarnished view. Like everyone else, libs and wealthy athletes are all for free speech until it's speech they disagree with.
