I'll agree with you on that one - unfortunately, it looks like both sides of the aisle are more than happy to make that mistake.

Are foreign dignitaries just dropping in weekly or something?

I mean it's not like they eat off the fine china daily....heck if that's the case, then donate some of that stuff to me so I can throw out my old plates I have been using the past 2 terms....heheheheh!!!

I'm not an expert on this by any stretch, but is it used just for foreign dignitaries? I would imagine the china is also used for formal dinners with members of Congress, Governors, etc.

Hence styrofoam plates and they have to take their shoes off at the door, not for fear of them being thrown but I will be damned if they mess up the White House carpet.....and put plastic on the White House couches too:

Serve bag and box dinners to them...it's more eco friendly.

Heh!
