Obamas tour their new digs

The perks of knowing Oprah are never-ending.  Sure she's a chick magnet at campaign rallies and can raise a whole lotta dough, but better than that, she can hook you up with Nate Berkus to decorate when you get a new crib.  Wonder if the Obamas were thinking of calling in that favor, when they toured the White House for the first time with the Bushes on Monday.

The Bushes greeted the Obamas at the formal entrance to the White house, underneath the Truman balcony.  Then after a short meet and greet, Michelle Obama toured the private residences of the White House with Laura Bush, while Barack Obama talked prez to prez with G Dub. 

Needless to say, Monday's meeting was historic.  It marks the first time that an African American family will be moving into the White House. 

Wow.

Check out video of the Obamas' arrival here. Of note, Barack Obama walks into the White House with some serious swagger.
