White House on a roll for Easter fun

Obama and his wife, Michelle, appeared along with daughters Malia and Sasha and vice-president Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, on a balcony overlooking the grassy area where hundreds of kids scurried for positioning for the much-sought-after egg-rolling competition.
