All three newscasts filed from the new First Family's first Easter Egg roll. NBC and CBS both closed the newscast with an Obamawatch. NBC's Savannah Guthrie enjoyed Barack Obama's "rare form" as he read Where the Wild Things Are for assembled rollers. CBS' Nancy Cordes previewed the arrival of the "ridiculously adorable six-month-old pup" named Bo that the press corps has been "doggedly pursuing." Yes she actually said that. ABC's Jake Tapper could not totally shuck off his hard news instincts--amid his puns about scrambling and shells--noting the Obamas' efforts to make their roll "markedly different" from George Bush's: "About 110 same-sex families with children were expressly invited." His soundbite was from Jenna Bergman: "I have two moms and it is really cool."
