Poll question: What Should The "White House" Be Renamed? A POLL
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 03:08 PM by Better Believe It
There are 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and 6 levels in the Residence. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators.
For recreation, the White House has a variety of facilities available to its residents, including a tennis court, jogging track, swimming pool, movie theater, and bowling lane.

At various times in history, the White House has been known as the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion." President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.

What do you think the White House should be called?

6. Two answers
If Barack wins, the People's House - because we hope he does right by us.

Or if McCain wins - the Plantation - because he'll be da massa and we'll all be slaves.

14. The "White House" Mansion Is Elitist! It's Meant To Be! Tear It Down
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 04:33 PM by Better Believe It
Or better yet turn it into a museum with tours and build a much more modest residence for the President and his/her family.

I'm not suggesting a log cabin but give me a break! Does a President really need live like royalty and require 132 rooms to live in and conduct business?

The names presidential mansion, executive mansion and palace were dropped because they pointed out just how elitist the residence is!

White House sounds so very nice .... it's just a plain ole house where the president happens to live.

Do all the Presidents and Prime Ministers of other major nations have huge mansions to live in? I hope not.

17. They still call it the White House But that's a temporary condition, too.

And when they come to march on ya
Tell 'em to make sure they got their James Brown pass
And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of FINE arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?
A chocolate city is no dream
It's my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC
God bless Chocolate City and its (gainin' on ya!) vanilla suburbs

per George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic

18. I voted keep it the White House, on the assumption Obama will win
If McCain wins, it should be renamed the Imperial Palace.
