There is no real reason why you should be able to email out with
bush () whitehouse gov using Verizon's own servers.

Not even if you use an SMTP AUTH session and clearly
establish your identity as a customer of Verizon?

Seems to me that an authenticated SMTP session tends
to narrow down the potential source of an email if there
is a desire to identify the perpetrator. Some people
might consider this to be a good thing.
