Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tangata tuatahi ki te mahi hei kaitiaki hapori o te Whare Ma, ko Jeremy Bernard, e wehe ana i muri i nga tau e wha i te mahi. I kii te White House i tenei ra ka wehe atu a Bernard i muri i te tina a te kawanatanga i te marama e whai ake nei hei whakahonore i te Pirimia o Hapani, e whakapumautia ana nga korero e kii ana ko Bernard, 53, ka mutu wawe te whakahaere. I kī te wahine tuatahi i roto i tētahi tauākī, he waimarie ia ki te whai i tētahi tangata pūmanawa i roto i tōku kapa. 'He waimarie ano taku ki te whai hoa mo te wa roa ki a Jeremy,' ka tapiritia e ia. 'Ka mihi a Jeremy, ā, ko tā Barack me au e hiahia ana ki a ia i te mea pai rawa atu i roto i āna mahi ā muri ake nei.' Ko te wahine tuatahi, i whakaahuatia i konei i te marama o Noema 2011 me te Hekeretari o te Whare Maama o te Whare Maama a Jeremy Bernard i Hawaii, i korero i roto i tetahi korero i kii ia he waimarie ia ki te whai i tetahi tangata tino pukenga i roto i taku kapa. I tāpiri atu a Obama, 'He rite tonu taku waimarie ki te whai hoa mo te wa roa i roto i a Jeremy' Kaore te White House i whakaingoa i te whakakapi mo Bernard, ko ia hoki te tangata taatai tuatahi ki te pupuri i te tuunga, kaore ano hoki i whakamarama he aha ia i wehe ai. Heoi anō, i whakamoemiti a Michelle Obama i tōna wā i roto i ngā kaimahi, i mea ia, 'Kei ngā tau e whā kua hipa, kua mahi a Jeremy kia tuwhera ngā tatau o te Whare Pōtae ki te tini o ngā tāngata ka taea, kia maumahara hoki ki ia huihuinga i te Whare Pōtae, ehara i te mea mā Barack me au anake, engari mā ngā mano tini o ngā manuhiri e haere mai ana mā ō mātou tatau ia tau.' I kii noa a Bernard he 'whakahonore' te mahi ki nga Obamas ka whakamoemiti ki te wahine tuatahi mo te powhiri i nga manuhiri katoa ki te Whare Maama me tana tohu tohu, te aroha me te ahua. 'Kei te tino mihi ahau ki te mahi mo te Perehitini me te Wahine Tuatahi tino nui,' ko tana korero. I kii te kainoho o mua o California ki te Washington Post i whakamahere ia ki te hoki ki The Golden States, a kei te 'whai tonu ia i tetahi wa ki te whakaaro mo nga mea e whai ake nei me te whakapau i etahi wa kounga me Garbo, taku beagle whakaoranga.' Kei te whakaahuahia a Bernard i konei e hopu ana i nga hukarere hukarere i runga i te Colonnade o te White House i tenei whakaahua o Hui-tanguru 2014 i hopukina e te kaiwhakaahua mana o te whare....
I kii a White House i tenei ra ka wehe atu a Jeremy Bernard i muri i te tina a te kawanatanga i te marama e whai ake nei, e whakapumautia ana nga korero ka mutu wawe ia i te kawanatanga. I whakaatu te wahine tuatahi i te arotake o te mahi a Bernard, e kii ana ia he 'waimarie ki te whai i tetahi tangata tino pukenga i roto i taku kapa' me te 'hoa o te ora' Kei te hoki ia ki California 'ki te whakaaro i nga mea e whai ake nei, me te noho wa kounga ki a Garbo, taku beagle whakaoranga' Kāore anō a White House kia tapaina he whakakapi.
