And I am not even joking.
While googlemapping a location on New York Avenue in DC, I was trying to understand exactly where this area was in relation to the rest of the city; New York Avenue is a long fricken avenue. So I did a directions search, from the “White House” to the address on New York.
No can do, said Google. Had no idea what I was talking about. It did helpfully suggest “Barack Obama White House” at 1600 Penn Ave. I took it but I didn’t like it.
I realize that some people may not understand this – certainly neither Google nor Barack Obama really have absorbed this – but that is not his house. It belongs to the people of the United States. He doesn’t own it or pay a mortgage on it. He lives there rent-free for four years.
It is offensive when Barack says, “my house” as he’s done a few times. And as Google is doing now too.
I don’t recall Google calling it “George Bush White House”. This is just ridiculous. We are not “his people” or “his subjects” and that is not his goddamned house.
I’m with you 100% Cara. I for one can’t wait till he (they) are out of our f’ing house!
I am glad I’m not the only one piqued by that “my house” crap. Thanks R1!
It ain’t their house and AF1 is not their personal private jet. I’m getting just a little fed up with their whole I, Me, My attitude.
