You may be referring to the gold drapes which are often used as a backdrop when presidents give speeches from the Oval Office and from the East Room of the White House. Drapes of this type have been there for more than a decade. There are some internet myths that claim the drapes have "Arabic writing" on them. That is false. The gold ones in the Oval office seem to be solid colored, but the ones in the East Room do have some designs; however, the designs are not writing at all-- rather, they are stylized decorations that are supposed to be doves and olive branches.
As for why there are gold drapes in the background, mostly because that is the color that was chosen when the rooms were redecorated. There does not appear to be any particular reason for that color (as opposed to red or green or some other color); and in fact, over the years, there have been other colors of drapes in various rooms of the White House. Sometimes, First Ladies redecorate, and the decor is whatever they chose for that room.

Are malia and Sasha half white?
No. Although Barack Obama was born to a white mother and a black father, the one-drop rule as well as the fact that he self-identifies as African-American makes him black. Since Malia and Sasha Obama were born to a black father (Barack Obama) and a black mother (Michelle Obama) they too are black. If we ignore the self-identification and the one-drop rule, Barack Obama is half-white. Since Michelle Obama was born to both a black mother and a black father she was completely black. Since a child inherits four 'quarters' in total in this case, she inherits two 'quarters' from Barack and two 'quarters' from Michelle. This gives Malia and Sasha one white quarter and three black quarters, making them 1/4 white. However, they are generally considered to be fully black just as Barack Obama.
