WASHINGTON (AP) - White House relations with Congress may be ruffled, but members of both branches of government mingled Tuesday on the White House lawn to soothing strains of New Orleans-style jazz.
"You all enjoy yourself," said Bush, who ambled out on the lawn with first lady Laura Bush to greet guests at the annual White House congressional picnic.
"Make sure you pick up all the trash after it's over," he joked just before Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers struck up a rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching in."
