AND a pic of Obama without a jacket on in the Oval Office. There was a "Jackets Required" rule for the Oval Office in W's 8 years. No more.
Is meeting the president normal in WH tours?
Definitely not. I remember when I was a kid, my Uncle, who was directory of photography at U.S. News and World Report, got us all tickets for a VIP WH tour. We got there and found this huge line, so my Uncle went up to somebody and asked where the VIP tour is. Turns out that huge line was the VIP tour.
I think I read somewhere sumi, that there was a lottery for tickets to this "open house."

Both our dogs are shelter dogs so "breed" is a bit subjective, but we've got a beagle so we're with the crowd there. Our other dog is harder to place breedwise.
That is both horrible and has me gasping with laughter at my desk. Just like the best of the Onion, come to think.
