why media says "white house" when they should say George W Bush??
all day long on the news radio commentators, reporters, everyone keeps saying "...the White House says...", the problems for "...the white house...", etc, when they should say "the president" or "george w. bush."

what is up with blaming the crime, fraud, and deceit on the "white house" when it is the occupants who are committing the acts?

4. Because you know you can't take His name in vain.
He is immune from all criticism. If anything goes wrong, it is his handlers, er, staff that screwed up.

5. They *should* just say 'Rove says'
Rove = White House, and always has. And he's still there.
