"The President and First Lady are very pleased," McDonough said in a phone interview, but politely sidestepped detail questions.

In a February, 2005 appearance on GMA, a few weeks after the Washington Post's Reliable Source first reported the relationship, Laura Bush told Charlie Gibson:

"This is not a serious boyfriend. I hate to, I have to be the one to say it on television, but he's a very nice young man."

Can't be marrying a non-virgin, right? Why, that just wouldn't be Christian.
