How can any house compare to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? A look at the nominees’ current residences and the homes of past presidents.

While there may be pricier addresses, few are as prestigious as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Built between 1792 and 1800, The White House has been home to every U.S. president since John Adams. But how do the accommodations compare to the nominees' current residences? And what kind of "downsizing" did past presidents have to endure. Here's a look at the homes of presidential hopefuls and former commanders in chief.

    See my comment above in regards to the deregulation of mortgages. You might want to do some homework on this before you start speaking.

    Just for your information I ahve worked in the mortgage industry for quite a while and the deregulatino of mortgages started way back with Reagan, all the way throught President Clinton. This is one thing that you can't plant on Bush. It was all started a long time ago, with the worst happening during the Clinton Presidency. Phil Graham had nothing to do with this.
