Well, I did a quick check, and it turns out the Commanding Officer who instigated the Arson on the structure that later became known as The White House was an Irishman, by the name of Ross. Ha. That figures. He and his buddies got liquored up---prolly on a binge, and decided on having "A hot time in the old town, tonight!" When the Good Guys fixed up the burn damage afterward, they had to do a quick-fix on the exterior by painting it white, to cover up the scorched areas. Since it was white paint, the building became known as The White House. Now you know.
Apparently, not all the details were released. Now we're hearing that the intruder made it quite a ways into the Whitehouse, running through the halls, past the stairs to the President's family's residence, through the East room, almost to the Green room. Appears that the alarm at the door was disabled, 'cause the staff was tired of hearing it go off. Unbelievable.
