Was the White House pink at one time?

It seems there is a myth about to this effect, but it is only a myth.

The White House was made of sandstone, and specific stone involved is a pinkish shade of gray. The story is that the first coat of white paint was applied after the building was badly burned during the War of 1812.

According to the Wikipedia article on the White House, the building was originally painted white, and the name White House was being used by 1811.

There is a link below to the section of the article where this is discussed.

In the early days the white house was formally called the "President's Palace"; although this title soon changed over to "Executive Mansion" in 1810 to avoid connections with royalty. Even with all these name changes, the majority of society referred the building as the white house. The porous sandstone walls were coated with a mixture of lime, rice glue, casein, and lead, giving the house its familiar color and name. It wasn't until Oct 12, 1901 when President Theodore Roosevelt officially adopted the name "white house."

Who has resigned from the White House?

This question was first asked in 2009, and it was asking about Van Jones, an adviser on "green jobs" who was perceived by some Republicans as a controversial choice, and who did in fact resign under pressure. But the fact remains that it is not unusual for advisers and cabinet members to leave. It happens in every administration, and not always as a result of scandal or controversy. The most recent resignations for the Obama administration occurred at the end of his first term, which is also common, as some cabinet members choose to return to private life. To cite one example, in late January 2013, Mr. Obama replaced Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who served during his first term) with Senator John Kerry, who will serve during his second.
