Look at the domain more closely. *.org is for nonprofits, at least putatively. Whitehouse.ORG is not whitehouse.gov. And
whitehouse.com is a porn site (or was last time I looked).

In general, one may go to www.netsol.com and use the whois button (or just go directly to
http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois), then see what is revealed.

In the case of whitehouse.org, I find:

  Registrant:
  Satire On-line (WHITEHOUSE3-DOM)
     245-M Mount Hermon Road, Suite 137
     Scotts Valley, CA 95066

butler a t comp - lib . o r g    Wm. Burroughs said it best: "After a shooting spree,
I am not here to have an argument.        they always want to take the guns away
I am here as part of a civilization.        from the people who didn't do it."
