What a pitiful contrast the private WH quarters must be to the Obamas'

11. OK... had to add the Girl Scout link:

President Obama and the first lady dropped by a campfire in their backyard Tuesday night, where a group of 50 Girl Scouts are spending the night.

The campers shrieked and squealed with delight as the president and first lady walked out of the residence and toward the circle where they were singing songs.

"What are you doing in my yard?" the president joked.

"We're making history on your lawn," one girl shouted.

The group was in fact, making history, the first ever to camp out on the White House South Lawn.

Twenty blue and white tents were pitched in the shadow of the building's grand columns, next to a climbing rock wall.

The Obamas pulled up a hay bale and sat with the girls, who are ten and eleven, chatting about the outdoors and singing songs.
