Virtual Big Block of Cheese Day: The White House Is Open for Questions

In 1837, President Jackson hosted an open house featuring a 1,400-pound block of cheese. On Wednesday, January 29th, with a nod to history (and maybe the TV show the West Wing), White House officials will take to social media for a day long 'open house' to answer questions from everyday Americans.
