Obama Campaign Starts Selling “Made in the USA” Merchandise → mashable.com

White House ends photo re-enactments for press → theglobeandmail.com

An interesting debate. I see both sides: the media need access for accurate photographs, but the president needs to be able to make televised addresses in peace. Thoughts? I think the media probably need to be a little more understanding in taking White House handouts in these circumstances.

The White House said it is ending its long-running practice of having presidents re-enact televised speeches for news photographers following major addresses to the country, a little-known arrangement that fed suggestions of fakery when Barack Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden.
