Obama’s House (#19)

U.S. Rep. Robert Hurt (VA-05) was kind enough to overlook the fact that the British burnt the White House to the ground in 1814 and grant me a tour this past weekend.  It was just phenomenal to be in a place so steeped in history.  I stood in the East Room where the bodies of Lincoln and Kennedy lay after their assassination, peeked into the Rose Garden where Thatcher and Regan conversed, strolled through the entrance hall where John Travolta danced with Princess Diana at a gala dinner in 1985 and was looked down on by life size portraits of the 43 former Presidents of the United States.  Oh, and Obama lives there.
