And before current occupants showed up. My wife and I spent most of the day just sitting outside the WH in Lafayette Park. The Capital is a beautiful building, but the White House stirs more emotion in me. We just need to evict the current occupant.

Great website, if you haven't seen it before: http://www.whitehousemuseum.org/

No, agent Mike. I wish no harm to anyone (but especially the innocent and there aren't a lot of those in the WH, it seems)
