POST #2

THE WHITE HOUSE - THE HOME OF PRESIDENTS
For this blog post you must visit The White House virtually. View the rooms inside and the grounds outside. Notice the artifacts and architecture. Decide what is the most inspiring and/or interesting to you and why. Why do you think our founding fathers felt it was important to build such an impressive home for our presidents?
Write a formal business letter to your Congressmen requesting a visit and explaining exactly what you want to see and why it is important to you

     The room that was the most inspiring and interesting to me was the China Room.  I find this room very interesting and unique because it holds china from several different presidents.  This room is not a  part of the White House tour, which makes it a lot more special an interesting to me because only a select few are able to view these pieces of china, not just anyone.  I think the founding fathers felt it was important to build such an impressive home for our presidents because they run the country and need a very nice place to live.  The president makes very big decisions and is the commander in chief, so they deserve a nice home.  I also believe the founding fathers felt it was important to make the white house so impressive because it is used for many meetings and parties so it is important to present a nice home.
