“I thought it was a stupid idea to paint the Reflecting Pool, but it looks really good. It makes the reflection look extraordinarily prominent in a way it did not before, and I hate that.” pic.twitter.com/yVTHm4rHUh
🚨 NEVER FORGET: Obama spent $34 MILLION of your tax dollars renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
