Don't get your knickers in a twist. It's just the standard disclaimer on all official White House photos passed to the press.

Though, some will say he has never been working - officially or not.
When a photographer is an employee the employer retains copyright, in this case since the employer is the US government it's public domain. Nearly everything published by the US government is public domain, there is some minor exceptions occasionally where a third party may be involved but those are rare.

I keep telling you, whenever you mention the word Marxist, Socialist, Communist, or whatever else I stop reading because you have NO idea what Marxism really is.

Try reading up on what Karl Marx had in mind and who he was exactly and what Marxism was all about before you attempt to label others with your ignorant vitriol.

Talk about being a bigot - good grief!

Its saying you can do whatever you want for personal use, but like most private property, the NRA can't use it in a gun add without permission.

Overblown, half informed BS thread

Obama's mentor Frank Marshall an avowed communist...I guarantee that if you were to give Obama sodium pentothal he would confess being a marxist...

White House Warns: Don't Photoshop Obama Gun Pic
Guess what?!

The White House photographer and every other photographer, writer, painter, etc that has ever lived doesn't want people using their works without permission.

Goodness, talk about reaching for something!!!

FYI- This warning:
Quote:
This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.
appears on every single Flickr White House photo published on the site.

Guess what else? A similar warning is captioned with many other photographers' work on that site too!

You people....
