Obama’s background – In the Whitehouse

Are we seeing a denationalization of President Obama?

In May of this year America’s President gave a press conference without the ‘stars and stripes’ anywhere on display. It was held in the East Room of the White House. Here are 3 shots to show the room’s design and how the President looked.

Despite some reports the room’s décor has been similar for some time. Even the Oval Office shares similar drapes – yet the absence of a flag is interesting, especially for America.

This report could easily become a large article on Nationalism vs Gloabalisation – but instead let me show a few images of how ‘President Obama’ has been shown during his term in office… notice any changes?

Here are some photos of previous American Presidents – notice the flags and colour schemes and how dramatic they are. The important thing to remember is that these events are well planned and staged.

As a final thought I decided to look at the official WhiteHouse site. They have a ‘photo of the day’ – showing the President at work… Which is where I noticed that for this month there is not one single clear shot of an American flag…

[As the saying goes - don't trust me - LOOK for yourselves. Perhaps I have been selective in the pictures I've chosen...]
