Great photo, and yes those "secret doors" are a hoot. Probably more for the decor rather than being concealed doors.
I guess Paul's Mum didn't teach him not to call people names. Shame.

see, if this administration was really about change and the white house would know how to use flickr properly, someone would explain to us the story behind these doors. hell yea, pun.. but instead, they use this site as nothing more than dumping grounds for their pictures. how unfortunate.

Nice photo, and I really like that the White House has an account here on Flickr for all of us to see things like this without having to turn to a news outlet.

Thank you!

You know, there's a perfectly adequate "straighten" function in most photoshop-type programs. The skewed walls/picture etc are incredibly distracting.

This is in the personal dining room on the second floor of the White House residence.

According to the White House Museum, the door behind the first ladies leads to a personal beauty salon.

“The Obama White House is supporting a new bill (sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman) whose sole purpose is allowing the government to suppress any ‘photograph taken between September 11, 2001 and January 22, 2009′ relating to the treatment of detainees in the ‘War on Terror.’ In other words, Obama wants Congress to change the FOIA so that the courts can’t compel release of any more torture photos.”

A lovely photograph of both ladies!

I have to confess I totally bought the same t-shirt and sweater off the Gap web site. Doubt I'll rock it as well as the First Lady, but I will certainly try.
