It's nice to know that some people in high places understand the power of setting a good example for others. Although new residents of the White House are allowed $100k to redecorate to suit their tastes, the Obamas are electing to foot the bill themselves. They made plenty of money last year on their own, and so they are not going to use tax payers' money to make the White House their own. What a novel concept. In the larger scheme of things, $100k is not a lot of money. In the message sent to Americans, particularly unemployed ones, it is huge. It makes the statement that somebody in the White House knows how to say, "no, thank you" when tax payers' money is involved.
