I would really hate being them.
It's the White House phone number
Who answers the White House phone, anyway?
hite House and congressional operators are being swamped with health-care-related phone calls. Though one "very significant spike" occurred after conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh urged his listeners to register their disapproval, Democrats say the flood of calls also reflects support for reform.

Who answers when I call the White House?
Depends on which number you call. The public comment line (202-456-1111) is manned by volunteers recruited by the current administration. The White House switchboard (202-456-1414) is manned by professional White House operators. Only privileged parties are privy to the "secret number" that reaches the president directly (see below).

And then what? What are you suppose to say? Listen and see if there is any of that awful phone music while you wait on hold.
