NBC has released several sneak peaks of tonight's "Inside The White House" special, including this look at President Obama interacting with his new puppy, Bo.

Meanwhile, former RNC press secretary Alex Conant wonders why the press isn't scrutinizing this prime-time series the same way it did when the Bush administration welcomed NBC cameras inside the White House.

"After that show, other media heavily criticized the network for producing what resulted in a very positive portrayal of a wartime President," Conant writes, linking to articles questioning whether administration officials artificially beefed up the president's schedule. "To be clear, the Obama White House similarly 'pumped up' the Obamas' schedule last Friday, when NBC filmed the latest special. To wit: Michelle Obama visited an elementary school, while the President met with his National Economic Council staff (in addition to his daily economic briefing), delivered remarks on cyber security, visited FEMA for a briefing, and found time to stop by Five Guys to get burgers."

Robert Gibbs denied on Friday that the burger trip, at least, was planned for the benefit of the peacock crews.
