The White House as a Creative Common

Photo: The Official White House Photostream

So we all know Barack Obama loves social media and Government 2.0. He also has an official White House Flickr stream, from which the pic above is taken. Not only is this a sign of openness and personality, but we're all also allowed to share, copy, distribute and remix it – as long as we attribute the licensor. Since Barack Obama chose to use a Creative Commons license saying so.

Obama spreads the love of sharing on the Internet. I'm in love.

    But why is he still using a CRT in there? He probably doesn't get all that much time in front of it, but think of the esthetics...

    I think the whole tech setup seems out of style. That mini-stereo thing doesn't look to hot either.

    And from that perspective. Is he really 4 meters tall and standing 20 meters in front of that 32" CRT?
