White House Revealed


Part of the joy of watching this delightful documentary is the vicarious thrill of getting a look at the parts of the White House that will never be opened up to the tour groups who walk the public hallways. The other thrill is hearing the stories told by the people who work at the most famous address in America, whether they’re talking about the eating habits of the Commander in Chief (like Bill Clinton wolfing down half a cake when the Monica Lewinski scandal hit the fan) or the president who never wanted to see the help and the lengths they went to make sure he never did. The staff’s perspective on the major historical events they’ve lived though is fascinating.
