National Geographic: Inside the White House - 5 stars out of 10

"National Geographic: Inside the White House" takes a look at the inner workings of America's most famous house during the Clinton administration in the mid-90's.  Much has changed since this inside scoop, but Morgan Freeman's narrating voice is as soothing as ever.  I think that the most valuable part of the documentary is its historical approach to the White House.  You probably know many of these things already but National Geographic's ability to pull it all together with historical pictures and modern shots of the areas being discussed make it memorable.  It also addresses a lot of questions that you might have, like "How does the kitchen operate" and "What does the view from that balcony look like," and a lot of questions that you never thought about, like "Who is in charge of the house," "Are there a lot of clocks in the house," and "Who winds all of the clocks are there in the house".  There really isn't much to say about this documentary.  It is very informative and concise but it isn't going to surprise you with anything that you couldn't find in a history book.
