Shhhh! Barack, Bo & I are about to surprise folks on @WhiteHouse tours! I love doing this. Watch here: http://wh.gov/live –mo

*update*

watch (36 mesmerizing minutes):

[In_The_Wind]

1. Excellent!

I love the live link.

[Enrique]

2. just don't do it to Al Roker

sorry

[Brother Buzz]

4. DUzy, for sure

[butterfly77]

47. No..

A Doo Doozy for sure.

[Brother Buzz]

48. Ha! I knew it immediately when I read your subject line

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

6. Enrique wins the internet for today (nt)

[malaise]

42. Too good

[catbyte]

3. I'm afraid I'd burst into tears or something stupid like that, LOL.

[Wait Wut]

11. Uh huh.

I'm really not an emotional person, but if I ever met them face to face I'd friggin' start bawling.

[OneGrassRoot]

24. I'd totally burst into tears. Shoot, I'm crying now...

just watching the video...lol

[siligut]

27. Me too, I know I would tear up

Bo wandering around would help, but wow.

[PoliticAverse]

30. One person had the giggles. n/t

[Patiod]

31. That's what I was thinking - why so calm

I'd probably be escorted out by Secret Service for crying and not letting go if I got a hug!

[Walk away]

33. I would probably spend the whole time on the ground with Bo!

I find dogs easier to talk to.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

44. My mom cried when he said Hi to us in a ropeline

Having the President, especially this President, look you in the eyes was awesome and amazing!

[catbyte]

45. I had a similar experience when he was in town campaigning in 2008. The man has charisma!

I was bummed that he didn't get back here this year, but Michigan was never really a battleground state. This made me very happy and just a smidgen sad he didn't come back.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

46. Yes, he has A LOT of charisma!

I hope you get to see him in person sometime in the next 4 years, because is it even more amazing when you see PRESIDENT Barack Obama, not just a candidate!

[CTyankee]

5. what a great thing. You know he's got to be tired. Michelle, too...

[11 Bravo]

7. It's nice when the guy in the Oval Office actually cares about the people who ...

he's there to serve. Can anyone imagine Mitt and Queen Ann deigning to shake hands and chat with the masses?

[fadedrose]

8. Michell'e hair looks great - I love it back that way.

Thanks for posting.

[xxxsdesdexxx]

9. That's awesome!

[narnian60]

10. Thinking about what I would say....

Uhhhhhh-I LOVE YOU! (Then feeling totally stupid.)

[LisaLynne]

25. Me, too.

And then I would obsess about how stupid I looked to them for the rest of my life. It's hard being totally socially awkward!

[nolabear]

12. I could watch this for a loooong time. What gracious people. And a cute dog, too!

[catbyte]

13. I know there's issues with drones & the Patriot Act, but damn I love these people

Bo too and I'm a cat person!

[libdem4life]

14. These guys are amazing. The bar has been set pretty high for future First Families.

[nolabear]

15. I'm truly not trying to cast aspersions, but where are the older white men?

I see everything but. It might be a lack of interest in WH tours and such, but it's strange.

[rurallib]

17. I saw some - looks like a pretty mixed crowd

and may I say -WOW - what a treat for those lucky folks.

[nolabear]

18. Good! I do hope so. And yes, what a joy!

[narnian60]

20. I saw one.

[libdem4life]

21. The folks in this line ... both sides of the line... are the newly empowered...the new demographic.

Including a second term black male and his black wife illustrating what "servants of the people" really means. The other demographic...home watching football?

Now for another cultural paradigm shift ... Clinton/Castro 2016 !!!

[NYC Liberal]

23. "Clinton/Castro 2016" -- man would that be great!

[SidDithers]

26. A very diverse group of visitors...

nice to see.

Sid

[narnian60]

36. But I would definitely say great majority under 40.

[libdem4life]

37. Hopefully someone will do a cool graphic on "this group" as opposed to the headshots of the Senate

Group. The interesting irony is that the New Group will actually include the Old Group...by definition as human beings, not exclusively as the "other" or the "the outgoing".

[Walk away]

34. They are in the Cabinet silly! nt

[SidDithers]

16. Awesome. Watching streaming right now. With sound!...nt

Sid

[narnian60]

19. Can't stop watching!

People wiping tears away, taking deep breaths before they actually get up to the the President.

[NYC Liberal]

22. Kind of brings back the days when presidents did this almost every day...handshaking was an art form

because they'd be shaking hundreds of hands for hours when they did these!

[proud patriot]

28. this is so cool one girl got the giggles

lol .. that would be me

[rurallib]

29. Tha t was sooooocool!

could have watched for hours!

[nc4bo]

32. OMG - how cool is that!!

I know I don't always agree with the politics part but that will never stop me from saying that I really, really love these folks!!

[gateley]

35. I can't get it to play -- I keep getting a "just concluded" message. Any tips?

I press the Play arrow, no pic appears, and the bar at the bottom moves as though it's showing (but it's not) then the message.

I'm sure the WH is iPad friendly. Hmmmmm.

[narnian60]

38. All done. Last guy in line could not quit smiling.

[gateley]

39. I bet it was SO fun to watch! They are so cool!

[xxxsdesdexxx]

40. It's over now.

[gateley]

41. Story of my life. Always late to the party.

Hope they make a vid.

[bigtree]

49. update: vid

[gateley]

50. How fun! Thanks so much!!

[Politicub]

43. I'm sorry I missed it! But the geek in me is loving the wh.gov short URL

And if I were there I would pass out a la a Beatles fan girl!

[life long demo]

51. OMG

I am so envious. That was FANtastic. Thank you for posting this.
