In Democratic administrations, I visit the White House.

I've had some wonderful times at the White House. I've been with Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush.

I am shocked at how much time I spend in the White House. I mean, you know, for people on the outside, the idea of going to the White House for a meeting must seem like the most important, serious, even glamorous kind of thing to do.

I've covered the White House and been yelled at by presidents.

I've been to the White House and had Hilary Clinton push through the crowd to come and meet me. Chelsea Clinton, too.

A funny thing happened to me on the way to the White House.

I vividly remember my first day on the White House staff. My office, of course, was in the Old Executive Office Building. I didn't rate one in the West Wing; but don't try to tell me or any of the rest of us working there that we weren't working in the White House.

I send messages to the White House continuously.

To go to the White House is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In fact, the building is not that big.

When I was back in Cuba, who could have imagined I would be invited to the White House!
