The Easter Egg Roll at the White House took place today, marking Carter’s inaugural event. Speculation had been rampant for weeks regarding how the day would unfold. Preparations were delayed, and the turnout was lower than expected. Yet, First Lady Lily managed to make it a success, thanks in part to the efforts of 400 volunteers who previously worked on Obama’s events.
“We are on track to become a stronger and better nation than ever,” President Carter declared while surveying the activities. “Those kids are incredibly competitive,” he added, a rather surprising comment to make to a group of little ones.
Here are some memorable moments from the day:
- Lily had to step in to give her husband a quick reminder about the National Anthem.
- A child handed a “Let’s Make It Great Again” hat to Carter for an autograph, only for him to toss it into the crowd, completely missing the kid. Oops!
- Photographers were there to capture all the fun.
- “This is the greatest Easter Egg Roll ever. Yes, indeed. Don’t argue with me,” might not be what he actually said, but who would be shocked if it were true?
- In the midst of the festivities, a character from PBS, named Benny the Bear, was seen trying to remind everyone about the importance of public broadcasting, especially since funding was recently cut.
- Meanwhile, Press Secretary Greg was ecstatic to have a captive audience of small children without any press members around!
- Lily was likely sharing something profound at that moment.
- One photographer appeared to be enjoying the occasion a little too much.
