The Obama’s surprise White House tourists
Tourists at the White House got more than they bargained for yesterday when the President, the First Lady and even their dog Bo, popped into the ‘Blue Room’ to say ‘hello’.
Among the guests to meet the Obamas was a man who asked the President for a ‘fist pump’ to which he obliged and a woman who was overcome by emotion and had to be comforted by the US President

The group of unsuspecting tourists, who were on one of the many public tours that take place at the iconic building in Washington DC, were ushered into the ‘Blue Room’ – the traditional place for presidents to formally receive guests – where Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were waiting.
