The White House

So I promised you some pictures of the White House so here they are. Security is pretty tight around the building but no problems taking pictures through the fence. Living in the DC area, I am getting use to the extra security (everywhere it seems) as well as the motorcades that like to stop traffic, and of course the big black suburbans with tinted windows driving much faster than everyone else. The President was not home the day I visited. How did I know? There were no snipers on the roof. There are always snipers on the roof if the President is on site.

It was a pretty quiet day around The White House, only the one small protest you can see here. What were they protesting? Well a little bit of everything: the War in Iraq, the use of nuclear power, taxes and something else I think that I can't remember. I think they are just unhappy with the President as a whole, however the countdown has begun and in just over a year we will all beable to say good-bye to George W. forever.
