George Bush doesn't live in the White House anymore, Obama does.
Broccoli
''I do not like broccoli,'' the President said, responding to queries about a broccoli ban he has imposed aboard Air Force One and the White House. ''I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli!''
George H. W. Bush is not a ghost (he is still alive) and he does not haunt the White House.
While it is unknown if he actually "banned" it, he refused to eat broccoli, so the White House chefs would be unlikely to ever have cooked it. I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
