Obama White House Opens Situation Room Door to Public

December 21st, 2009

Harley jokes about Blitzer’s Situation Room

Foggy windows, phone tubes, and a Surge Room are just a few of the surprises in the video tour conducted by Jeff Harley, President Obama’s deputy director of the Situation Room. Harley gives a walking tour of the rooms that make up the super secret area of the West Wing, where presidents monitor the world’s bad guys. Harley also lets us see a few of his colleagues at work, who are “1/3 intelligence community, 1/3 homeland security, and the rest military,” before getting in a slight jab at Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer’s situation room is about a mile away, and is not “The White House Situation Room,” Harley says in closing.
