How can I get a tour of The White House?

My wife and I are planning a trip to Washington DC on July 1st and are trying to figure out where we want to go while there. We were there in January 2009 and we saw the following:

Arlington National Cemetery

Natural History Museum

American History Museum

Washington Monument

and The Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool (Which is where I proposed to her at while Beyonce was rehearsing for her innaugural concert lol)

This time we would love to get a tour of the White House (we walked by it last time with a Ryder truck out front).

How do you book a tour?

    Vegas gave good information, but sources should be put below, because this sections truncates, and then the location is not complete.
