Michelle Obama And Bo Give Brian Williams Tour Of The East Wing (VIDEO)

As part of his NBC special "Inside The Obama White House," Brian Williams got a tour of the White House's East Wing from first lady Michelle Obama.

As the two looked out a window, she told Williams "This is a beautiful home. It's a public museum, but there are definitely spaces and places to enjoy your privacy."

Once they were in her East Wing offices, Mrs. Obama arrives to taping with Bo the puppy, toward whom Brian Williams immediately got pretty cutesy, cooing "Who's a good doggie?" He then added "I don't mean to not pay attention to the first lady of the United States."

He also talks to her staff, including press secretary Katie McCormick Lelyveld, who says "every day has pinch-me moments."

I have mixed feelings - it feels very casual to me and that is both nice and not nice. I want to be inspired and in awe of the place although I suppose more people need to feel welcome to it.
I didnt like that the tv guy greeted the dog before he greeted her - but she lowered her status there with her outfit anfd he reponded to her casualness.

In the end, it has very little importance. If the President is helping fix the Middle East issues I am happy

Same day/same outfit from an earlier visit to the school to help the kids plant their organic garden. My mom taught me that often we lose sight of substance because we focus on fluff. Just saying...

[Kit]

well honey, you have lost sight of the fact that some people have other opinions about what is right to wear when and where than you do. Didn't your mom teach you that?

[We-Are-The-Ones]

You want to be inspired? People work and live in the White House. if you want inspiration, look to the museum portion of the White House.

These NBC shows, show a day in the life of. This is purportedly a typical day. If all that hard work did not inspire you, then . . .

[davispty5]

You don't strike me as the "happy" type. Always something to critique huh? Oh, and responding to someone you don't know as "honey" is condescending. Didn't your mom teach you that?

[LovesMusicLikesToSing]

No, she did not "lower her status with her outfit." Clothes don't make the woman . . .

[Kit]

who cares what you say? lol.

[NyPrincess]

Bo is so sweet!

[CinciKid]

[Lurker50]

[Yola]

You were so proud of posting crap that you did it twice?

[newyorkid]

In which wing is located the drone arsenal to b_omb the hell out of the muslims in P_akistan and Afganistan?

[masanf]

Is it before or after the tour that Brian Williams bowed?

[yvonne61]

DON'T BE MAD BE HAPPY.

[teron678]

you'll be bowing soon .... when Obama passes Sharia law .. scared yet .... LOL

[Furby]

Very scared. Are there more of you?

[sasha34]

There will always be someone trying to be the centre of attention, Scrappy Doo , we get it, this is the only place you can really be yourself.

[TainoBoy]

I think Bo is Michelle Obama's best friend; the first lady seems to have fallen in love with him.

[Crissy Patters]

What a contrast to the POTUS wing of the WH and FLOTUS, it goes with their personalities. He appears to be a mover and shaker and she appears more analytical and reflective. You could see like everyone who has met her said, she makes you feel right at home. I can't imagine Brian greeting any other FLs dog before addressing her. But, MO understood and took it all in stride. I can't wait to see tonights episode.

[ItHadToBeSaid]

I'm loving the First Lady's ease and style!!!!! Her office seems to run like a well-oiled machine. I'm looking forward to Part 2 tonight.

[ItHadToBeSaid]

Oh, poor, little Scrappy Doo:


Just one sad, [e-mail], s0rry little wht boy. Its so easy to read you. You come onto these blogs related to First Lady Obama with the intent to be !nsult!ing and c0nd.escending. Using some r@ci@lly-tinged remark, you like to @tt@ck the First Lady and, by extension, other African-American women.

But there will always be scared little boys like y0u parading around pretending to be a 'man.' In actuality, y0u find the First Lady strong, confident, independent, and INTIMIDATING. Women like that SCARE YOU TO DE^TH because you are so inept s0cially-imp0tent.

Your posts would be laughable if they weren't so doggone pi.ti.ful.

[KarenT]

And she was dressed for the event she had that day which was visiting a school.

[GunneraGirl]

I like the way she always wears bright colors and 'fun' accessible clothes when she visits kids. Smart move.

[Furby]

What's color got to do with this?

[ItHadToBeSaid]

Everything.

Regular bloggers to style articles about the First Lady are familiar with Scrap pile's r@c!st insults. He was so offensive that he was banned. He logged in with a new user name, same avatar, and toned down his r@c!st rhetoric just enough to not get banned again.

[rock2casbah]

I am so proud of our First Lady. Thanks for allowing us a peek. Ms. Obama.

[Marrymeplease]

Hay Scrappy doo, She's dam if she do, she's dam if she don't. The way I see it ,it is the Obamas house, till he is no longer President. At least where the family lives at is. The reason most people like the First Lady is she seems to be comfortable in her own style, she can dress up or be casual, either way she is okay. Some people just look for any little thing . But you can't please them all. One more thing Mr. or Ms. Doo, neither Barack or Michelle had a dog while they grew up, so it is her first dog. But was the dog mistreated? If not, let it go.

[Mscharizmaa]

Brian was really loving Bo. Clearly a dog lover.

[swan1]

Scrappy , again, your bark is sooooooooo annoying.
