Carolyn...."Send them to the White House.".... Gees, I think they are overcrowded with the darn things now, no room left. Maybe after next election they will all be moved out of White House. And the protect the rats law can be repealed so Washington can be cleaned up? :-)

Is this why democrats passed the rat protection act? Barack Obama's rat pack problem Barack Obama's press conference is interrupted by a rat – or was it a mouse? And where was the White House security cat? guardian.co.uk Video.... Barack Obama Upstaged by Scurrying Rodent youtube.com Many politicians think that holding a press conference is like addressing a pack of rats. That was literally the case at the White House yesterday when Barack Obama came out to talk about the Wall Street reforms going through Congress. Before and during President Obama's address, a mystery rodent – possibly a mouse, rat or vole, depending on various opinions – scurried along the steps below Obama's podium. Fittingly it was as Obama was discussing what he described as "fat cat bankers". Washington DC really does have a terrible rat problem – as in, the real thing, as opposed to the lobbyists and lawyers who work there – so seeing one isn't a surprise. As the Today show hosts joked (in the video above), the rodent was later wrestled to the ground by tiny Secret Service mice. Wags on Twitter are enjoying the rodent infestation: "This must be one of those White House moles everyone talks about."
