Big White (White House nickname)

The White House is the official residence of the President of the United States (and family). The blog Michelle Obama’s Mirror satirically covers the activities of the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. The blog has used the nickname “Big White” for the White House since its post of November 20, 2009.
 
“Big White” could develop into a White House nickname, but its usage has so far been confined to Michelle Obama’s Mirror.
 
 
Wikipedia: White House
The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, D.C.. It has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams in 1800.
 
The house was designed by Irish-born James Hoban, and built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia Creek sandstone in the Neoclassical style. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801, he (with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe) expanded the building outward, creating two colonnades that were meant to conceal stables and storage.
 
In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington, destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed Executive Residence in October 1817. Construction continued with the addition of the South Portico in 1824 and the North in 1829.

Anyway, back to Michael. He’s a HUGE designer from the left coast, and by that standard, pretty traditional, which is good news for the Big White.

Another year, another Super Bowl, another mega-million-buck icon screws up the Star Spangled Banner.

Everyone at the Big White Super Bowl par-tay was too busy noshing and hobnobing to notice the little slip up.

Bully Day at the Big White Pulpit
Let’s see; Libya is in the middle of a civil war, gas prices are soaring, Wisconsin is on the verge of civil war, the budget crisis threatens to shut down the government. So what are we doing today?
 
“President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama took a firm stance against online bullying in a video posted Wednesday on Facebook.”
 
If it’s Thursday, it’s the Bullying Prevention Summit at the Big White!

T4T Hits & Mrs.
As in past years Lady M delivered a sack of toys to the Toy’s for Tots program, that Staff members were asked to donate to the cause. It’s part of our annual holiday gift extortion program in which Big White staff members are required requested to “donate” toys to Lady M’s sack so she can “contribute” it for redistribution by the Marines.

Harvey Weinstein (who’s been to the Big White nearly as often as George Clooney and Ben Affleck) was the brain behind Lady M’s surprise appearance as the presenter of the BEST PICTURE of the year.
