Live in the White House?

President Barack Obama's children, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, are settling in to their new home: the White House. This is no ordinary house. It's enormous--132 rooms, including a movie theater and library--and is the place where the President works and meets with other world leaders. Many White House events are in the national spotlight. What do you think? Would you like to live in the White House? From Scholastic news, Edition 5/6, February 2, 2009

I would love to live in the white house because you could meet famous people. The only thing I would not like is that you would not be able to go any were with out a body guard and you would not get to see your dad a lot. Last I would not like having a body guard because I would not get to go any were with my friends with out the body guards. 17

I think that it must be exiting to live in the White House. I would love to live in the White House because you have so much to do. You could watch a movie in the movie theater and you can try to race up and down all the stairs. So if I were to live in the White House that would be one of the most thrilling day of my life.

I would like to live in the White House because it has the library, and the movie theater. I would get my own room, and basically whatever I want. A desk, a book shelf...maybe even my own bathroom! That would be pretty cool.

I think it is really cool that kids get to live there and also meet all the other world leaders.I would like to live in the White House because you get to do the kind of stuff you wouldn't be able to as a normal child, but I also wouldn't want to because you would very rarely get to see your parents and wouldn't have any privacy.

I would love to live in the White House, because, first of all, that means my mom or dad is the President! Second, there's 132 rooms and there's a bowling alley and a movie theater. Plus, I'd get to have the run of the place, with never-ending hallways, vast expanses of floor, and best of all, SECRET PASSAGEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I love them.)

I would like to live in the White House because I would not ever get board. I would be really famous and I would be able to meet any body I want and get to watch any movie I want in the theater. You could never do this stuff if I didn't live in the white house that is why I would like to live in the White House.

Well, I would like to live in the White House , but then again, I wouldn't. I would like to because of all the secret passageways. You could find so many cool things.
I wouldn't like to live in the White House because I probably wouldn't get to see my parents often because they would be roaming through the house and meeting people.

I would not like to live in the White House because I would have no privacy and I wouldn't get to see my dad much. I love how I am right now and I'm glad I get to spend time with my dad.

I Think That I would love to live at the white house because you would be able to do things like watch movies or play basketball from your own home. It would be so much fun but it would be very difficult to because you would always have guards with you all the time you would always have them there for many years.

I would like to live in the White House because of all the cool stuff in it. I would not only get my own room, but it would be huge one and come with a bathroom. Also, there is a ton of rooms I could go in. I could basically get whatever I like.18
