This is a pretty cool house.

A quote from the article:

“The notion of someone selling a replica of the presidential mansion — possibly to a buyer in Dubai — is both humorous and painful to Atlantans, who are enduring one of the country’s highest foreclosure rates, which they attribute, in part, to policies that come from the real White House.”

I can’t believe the NYT included the words “in part” in this sentence. That is amazing. :)

Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I hear lines from “The Jerk” when I see this guy and his house.

For starters... “...it’s the stuffffff....”

Is the new phone book here?

Darn O'boomer could have bought that one for 10 mil, hired a staff, and played President (elect) and still had 20 mil left. (He is Still sending out donate e-mails)

Fred's house is about 2 miles (and millions of dollars) from mine. When he converted he joined my church and was a member of my mens small group. He is a true Christian that loves the USA. He built the house out of love and spent years researching and working with architects to get a perfect replica. It's not shown in the pictures, but there is a smaller replica of the old Executive Office Building to the right of the house. He uses it as a church and his mission is to help Arab Muslems see the truth and become Christians.
I kind of resent what he is doing in my neighborhood; tearing down beautiful 60’s split-level ranchs and building 6 figure McMansions. But it is capitalism at it's best. Most of his houses are sold before the foundation is poured and he is raising the resale value on my house.
