White House

Here is the text of his letter...

Dear Mr. President:

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.

While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.

And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that o our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me".

Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Respectfully,

STARNER JONES, MD

Wapello!

Depends on the severity of the fire.

Sometimes, tearing it down and rebuilding is the only option.

Sometimes, like after a minor kitchen fire, it takes a few days to repaint the ceiling and such.

James Hoban is the best

it is built of limestone
No- the stone portion is gray sandstone. It was painted white after the fire of 1814.

They do if the parties are state occasions. If the president has a party for his friends he pays for it.

Dolly Madison, wife of then-president James Madison.

The title on one of the books under the table reads "United Sates."

No,he claims she has a home in Kenya and only visits the White House but has been know to stay 4-5 years at a time.She will probably go home at the end of this term to the one meal a day and the token box of fruit at Christmas time.

White-plumed Honeyeater was created in 1837.

The original White House was built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia sandstone in the late Georgian style and has been the residence of every U.S. President since John Adams. Later additions and expansion to build the east and west wings used bricks.

I know of no one there with known Communist ties, can you specify person and what leads you to that conclusion.

The swarm of reporters that are usually stationed at the White House is referred to as the "White House Press Corp". These individuals will meet in the room simply referred to as "the press room" where the White House press secretary holds weekly briefing or the President may call a special assembly.

Because black attracts heat. Same goes for clothing.

Ronald Reagan was the only president to make it completely through his term in office after being elected in a year ending in zero

The US president lives in the White House and is the master of the house. He decides who else lives there.

Most sources say it was Rutherford B. Hayes. President Hayes benefitted from the new technologies of his era: he was not only the first to have a typewriter in the White House, but in 1877, he became the first to have a telephone installed.

The ay of independence was supposed to be celebrate on the 2nd of July but during its 1st year celebration, the needed preparations did not materialize on the right date so it took place on July 4, 1777, in Philadelphia. The celebration was highlighted with ships in the harbor decked in the nation's colors. Cannons rained 13-gun salutes in honor of each state and parades and fireworks brought greater color and life to the festivity even more.
