The new first family

Interesting article on the Obama and McCain families and how each might use the Residence. The "small room with a balcony" must be the Clinton Music Room, but I'd never heard of the Johnson girls using it to put on plays.

UPDATE: Added a couple of beautiful, color 1958 photos of the First Lady's Bedroom (Master) and Monroe Room (Treaty), showing what the Eisenhowers did with the residence.

I thought the little eat-in kitchen on the second floor was there before the Clintons too. Isn't that where Ford was photographed making his own toast?

Yeah. I think the Clintons renovated it. They may have taken out the island so a table would fit.

Sad to see that the Presidents dont have control over the first two floors. IMO they family should have control over the whole house.

I know if I were president the first order of buisness would be to kick that preservation commitee out of the white house.
