I will go with defiance. The reason it is painted white is because the Brits tried to burn it down, we rebuilt it. It is also rather moddest for an executive mansion/office. Compare it to Russia, China or France and note the difference. Only Number 10 Downing Street is a more humble location. But when the White House was built that wasn't the British capital, Buckingham Palace was.

If nothing else the mortgage is paid on the place. So keep it if for no other reason that the US government doesn't need any more debet. And building even a condo for the POTUS would require more debt.
