The White House: Inside America's Most Famous Home - Part 4

In the final segment, we begin with President Lyndon Johnson’s impact on the White House as the Oval Office is featured. As Vietnam and Watergate attract protestors to the streets outside of the home, Richard Nixon finds solace inside in the Lincoln Sitting Room. And following his resignation, Gerald Ford ushers in a new era in the history of the White House as more and more events are held there to make sure security risks to the President are minimized. And as the media spotlight continues to increase on the presidents and their families, we feature perhaps the most private place inside the White House: the Solarium, located on the rarely seen third floor of the home. Featured in this segment are President Obama, President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.
