For over two years, crews have torn up the North Lawn of the White House just outside the West Wing for what the General Services Administration calls a "utility upgrade."

But it seems everyone — including people who work at the White House — think something else is going on.

One West Wing official told The New York Times last month that "It is security-related construction," adding "Even we don't know exactly what."

There are two other bunkers on the White House grounds — the hardened Situation Room, and the nuclear shelter under the East Wing. Is this a third? Is this some other secret underground project?

It’s an exact replica of the Führerbunker.

This one will be called the Fubarbunker...

The President probably has 100s of bunkers at his disposal, so I doubt he needs another one, of course this president is a tad bit into himself.

A new mosque?

Doesn’t need another bunker. It’s an underground putting green, free from prying eyes.

I'd be very surprised if Obama or any other president has the authority to order major construction at the White House. If it's a security project it was probably authorized by Congress after a recommendation by the military or the Secret Service.

With all the golf he’s been playing maybe he’s putting in his own par 3 complete with a sand bunker...
