A tour of his new Home!

Today President elect Obama will get to see the Oval Office for the first time. He has been to the white house several times but never in the west wing. This is a tradition passed down from President to President to give the incoming a tour and let him sit behind the famous Resolute desk. I was wondering this morning if there is such a book as port raid in the newest National Treasure movie. The book of secrets. Does it exist and will the Prez Elect get to see it today? Only a hand full of Presidents have declined to visit the White House prior to inaugural day. President Bush didn't need the tour, he already knew his way around the White House since his dad had been President. While President Bush and President Elect Obama have their private meeting in the Oval Office, First Lady Laura Bush and Mrs. Obama will tour the living quarters and family side to the White House. They will also discuss raising kids in the White House as First lady elect gets advice from Laura. It should be a incredible day for the Obama clan as they take the first steps into his new roll in American History.

I heard recently that, despite all the perks that come with living in the white house, the first family still has to pay for any food that their private guests consume

That is 100% true, unless it is a political guest, then the tax payers pay for the meal. They also have to buy their own clothes.
