In a new edition of "Behind the Lens," Chief Official White House Photographer Pete Souza shares a collection of photographs of the First Lady giving out hugs -- to schoolchildren, surprised tourists, or a few celebrities.

"Hugging is how I connect to people -- how I show warmth and make folks feel at home," the First Lady says.

 Quote of the Day

"While the vast majority of federal contractors play by the rules, every year tens of thousands of American workers are denied overtime wages, are unlawfully discriminated against in hiring or pay, have their health and safety put at risk by federal contractors who cut corners, or are otherwise denied basic workplace protections."

Tell Us: What's Your Stake in Clean Water? 

One in three Americans get their drinking water from areas that don't have clear pollution protection.

But this week, after hundreds of meetings and reviewing more than 1 million comments from Americans, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers are taking steps to fix the problem. Together, they're releasing a Clean Water Rule that strengthens and expands protections for bodies of water that more than a third of Americans rely on for their drinking water.
