First lady surprises White House tourists Associated Press

Sunday, January 24, 2010

White House tourists got a surprise Wednesday. None other than first lady Michelle Obama showed up as their greeter to mark the end of Barack Obama's first year as president.

Mrs. Obama brought the family dog, Bo, to the Blue Room. She spent 45 minutes greeting and hugging many of the 400 guests as they filed in.

The Obamas began his presidency with a promise to open the White House to more visitors.

The White House says more than 614,000 guests visited in the first year. That figure includes tourists, participants in the annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn, and the spring and fall garden tours.

In the 1980's and 1990's, 6,000 visitors a day visited the White House. After the terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001, visitors must request admission through their representatives six months in advance and submit to background checks.
