WASHINGTON — Contractors on Monday began removing the granite presidential seal that had spent recent weeks taking shape on the White House lawn, after President Obama personally inspected the site and objected to the slope of the grass beneath it.
Critics called the episode a monument to impulsivity: weeks of taxpayer-adjacent stonework, reversed by one man's afternoon walk. Supporters called it decisive executive stewardship of the nation's most photographed backyard, and noted that if you want a thing done level, you must occasionally have it done twice.
