Was the white house always white?

Yes, but the White House that we have today is not the same White House we had after the American Revolution.

You need to re-state your question to get a reasonable answer.\n\nTo date the office of President has been occupied by white male, Anglo-Saxon, Protestants, except for JFK, all of whom were considered "majority," so there is no good answer to the question as asked.

The building was originally referred to as the Presidential Palace or Presidential Mansion. Dolley Madison called it the "President's Castle." However, by 1811 the first evidence of the public calling it the "White House" emerged, because of its white-painted stone exterior. The name Executive Mansion was often used in official context until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name by having "The White House" engraved on his stationery in 1901.

According to the article listed below, the White House has 16 bedrooms.  Whether or not it is true, I can't say.

The White House, obviously. \n\nInteresting trivia though: Casablanca--as in the movie and the city it takes place it, also means White House.

White House \nThe White House is the official residence of the President of the United States and his family. It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., a site chosen by the first US president, George Washington, along with the city planner of Washington, Pierre L'Enfant. The building was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban. President Washington never actually lived in the White House although he did oversee its construction. The first president to reside in the White House was John Adams, who moved into the residence in 1800, along with his wife, Abigail. \n\nThe White House has survived two fires -- one at the hands of the British in 1814, during the War of 1812, and the second in the West Wing in 1929.\n\nThomas Jefferson held the first Inaugural open house in 1805. He also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, he welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year's Day and on the Fourth of July, a tradition that lasted until the 1930's.\n\nThe White House has 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms on six floors. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators. Originally known as the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion," President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.\n\n\nThe administration of the government is housed in the West Wing. Built by Theodore Roosevelt as a temporary office building in 1902, it is where the president and his staff conduct their daily business. In 1909, President William Taft reconstructed the president's office, and changed its shape to oval. The Oval Office was established in the center of the West Wing. President Franklin Roosevelt expanded the West Wing and relocated the Oval Office to the southeast corner in 1934.

Why does it gotta be white?

No. This story has gotten out of proportion, just like the Monica Lewinsky story under Bill Clinton.\n\nThe White House is really benefiting by this story though because nobody is talking about Iraq at the moment. It's like they planned for this little story to get out of hand, and stay that way for as long as possible.\n\nI would really like to know about the guns and alcohol issues of this story though.

(1) An innate idea: Let's become inventive--paint small white stars on a dark blue background on the outside pilars of the White House. We could still call it the White House. Do you find it as peculiar as I that we have the White House, our capitol, our flag is red, white, and blue, and yet the only sign of America we see when we get there is when we step inside the door---if we get clearance to get in it for a tour? (2) What if,by chance, we could form a group of citizens (no Cindy Shehanites) that could accidentially come up with a plan to get our troops out of Iraq and we "Baffled Bush with brilliance" because of it? (3) What if we could get a group of preachers together that could do what Orson Wells did with the martian story on the radio in '48. We put them on tv. and convince the world that the world would end 7-7-07--God's perfect number? I wonder how many people would "begin preparing"?

John Adams was the first to live in what we call the White House, however, the house wasn't always white. In 1814, it was burned down and the repainted white. So the first person to live in the "white" house was James Madison.

The State Department has always been a tool of the white house as it is meant to be, when something is leaked it is usually a planned leak.

The White House was built during John Adams presidency.  He lived in it for a really brief period of time, but then Jefferson moved in.  It was burned during the War of 1812 during James Madison's presidency.  The British sacked Washington and burned it.  Dolly Madison saved the painting of George Washington.  I have no clue about the first picture.
