Irish architect's Washington DC White House valued at $115 million

JP Morgan - Chase Bank in the US has just announced a loss of $2 billion. The US will need to assure other banks haven't done the same thing. Selling US Government assets might very well be the answer should a further monetary crisis surface there.

Seanmor thanks for the info.

@Bytebay, how is this any of your business? Why don't you worry about Ireland's problems and keep your big nose out of American business where it doesn't belong. Most of us don't care what you think and are tired of your constant snide comments. You have absolutely nothing constructive to say.

Historians teel us that the nation's leading architects were invited to anonymously submit their plans for the new presidential residence. Many did, including Thomas Jefferson. Hoban's designs were based lagerly on the Fitzgerld mansionn in Dublin (now Leinster House), and they were chosen. After the British burned the president's home in the War of 1812, Hoban supervised its restoration and it was painted white, hence its name. Souuldn't this be considered by Congress when they discussed the proposed immigration bill that would open the door slightly wider for Irish immigrants.

Like I said about ND byethebay-put up or shut up-keep your nose where it belongs

The US hasn't even started paying off its $15 trillion debt, so get busy. Start selling off those US Govt assets, ASAP!!!

bythebay =we start paying off our debt when you start keeping your nose out of our business-you should worry about your Euro debt!

nicomax, would you limit superpacs? who would you allow to contribute?

When are you going to sell it to start paying off your $15 trillion national debt??

About mid-August the Super Pacs will have accumulated enough to buy it, if they have not already. But the line on the title to list the owners will be left blank.

when George Bush took over the white house, value estimate $167,861,500. when Barrack Obama took over the white house, value estimate $308,058,000. Current value after 3 years of Obama according to above article $115,000,000. Nice job Mr. President.

Please don't tell obama

Can we get a line of credit on that?

What? Is it now for sale to the Chinese?
