CNN caught my eye today, Obama speaking in from of some gold curtains in what looks like the Oval Office. So, I googled "obama gold curtains." Got some close-ups. Looks to me like a photographer's decision to close the curtains & put some extra light on Obama, so he wouldn't fade into the BG. I found some pics of George Bush where it looks like he's sitting in front of the same gold curtains, opened, in different light.
The thing of it is, I also found some strange discussisons about the gold curtains. People seem to be jumping to the conclusion that he and/or Michelle ordered up the curtains on purpose to look as ostentatious as possible. Wierd.
Does anyone have any information about this? |

Oval office history.
Bush put in gold drapes. Whether these are the ones or new gold ones, I have no idea.
eta; Apparently Bush's old drapes (so far)

no, I haven't heard about this (then again, I don't watch FOX news, lol)...but I can understand why they closed them to produce different light, because of his darker skin complextion.

next up, Obama urinates sitting down, is it an indication that he believes he's a part of a higher evolution of humanity? |

LOL. Of course, I was just pointing out the silliness of all this micro-observation of Obama that is going on right now, but a good laugh is never a bad thing. |

Most of the women where I work urinate standing up. They have a pathological fear of the toilet seat.

I was thinking more of the photog's challenge of lighting his face, & finding a good BG for it, than of any micro-interest in obama-minutea.
