history or his story?

I know this is a long standing tradition in the White House as to not let the camera clicking interfere with the message.  It isn’t President Obama, and it dates back decades.  Unfortunately, the message that is being sent when the cameras are clicking is being interfered with.

That is no longer an acceptable answer in my mind.  It is falsifying history.  What if – and just imagine – what if something were to happen during the re-enactment?  Any slip of the tongue, a trip on the red carpet, a glance or subtle expression change all can dramatically alter what is real and what is news.  It is going to take that kind of moment to change all of this staging of events.  Essentially, the White House is determining what is history.  What we see.  What is real.
