I think what you meant to say was "Please don't invade us again, because it would be a real shame if anything else happened to that pretty little White House you've got down there in Washington..." :-)
All kidding aside, the reason that the presidential swearing-in ceremony is held outside (even though it's January) is because the White House rebuilding wasn't completed in time for the 1816 ceremony, as I understand it.
