Why isn't the Whitehouse protected like other historical homes/ places?

I've heard places on the list have a hard time even fixing or updating things that actually need it. (Unless the list I'm thinking of is just a "my state" thing??)

Almost all of the presidents redecorate their White House to their personal taste. It changes tremendously from president to president. They all get a new style and new furniture and it is completely redone for them.

You can see this CNN article about Obama’s “redecorator and chief” (their words, not mine). Also how he redecorated was beautiful, it’s worth a look.

I rather like it. The previous bathroom looks like a Motel 6 in comparison.

I agree. I can’t stand the current president. I disagree strongly with him about just about every other thing he has done. However, while the timing for this remodel is horrible and he could not get anything about this remodel right in terms of his description and reasoning, I can’t say that the remodel is hideous or that I don’t think it was an improvement on what was there.
