My anxiety is, if Obama wins, he'll paint the White House black and rename it Black House. Can he do that?

I've heard both Barack and Hillary in many of their speeches and debates and I tend to lean on Obama. But I've heard this joke or rumor that he'll repaint the official residence of the president black and rename it as Black House to make it more dramatic being the first black president of America. Under existing US laws and precedents, is this scenario possible?My anxiety is, if Obama wins, he'll paint the White House black and rename it Black House. Can he do that?
At first glance, it appears to be a crazy joke. But upon digesting and contemplating the information further, the possibility of the scenario is plausible due to the fact that there is no existing law or regulation, except of course tradition, barring Obama from doing it. So, therefore, it comes down to the character and personality of the man. Come to think of it, little is known of the man as a politician and as a senator. He may have some skeletons in his closet that are yet to be discovered.My anxiety is, if Obama wins, he'll paint the White House black and rename it Black House. Can he do that?
Your anxiety on the information is credible but likely not possible due to the fact that I haven't seen yet a single house in my entire life that's colored black. Color black is not only impractical ( science has proven that dark colors increase the temperature since it absorb more heat) but the symbolism of it is just mind boggling (black represents gloom and doom). We will therefore become the laughing stock of the international community if this happened.
This possible scenario is very iffy, but not impossible. This is because I don't know of any law that would prevent Obama from doing it except the tradition of calling and painting the official residence of the US president as White House. Your anxiety therefore has basis, though very minimal, especially if you have to account for Obama's political theme and slogan ';Change';.
Are you serious? There are a few more important things I'd concern myself with before I'd even think about something as trivial as that.
For people with this train of thought, I think he should just paint it aquamarine and call it the Aquamarine House.
Get real, he would not paint the most prestigous house on the continent black.
wow your ridiculous. i cant believe you would even say that ha ha, so immature.
It might be possible, but it won't happen. It is just a joke.
Yes it might happen.
lol thats funny but i doubt that will happen
