The rainbow lights after the Supreme Court ruling and now the superimposing of the orange background. Rhetorical, I know, but is there anything this administration looks at with nostalgia, sanctity, and reverence for the creation of this Nation? Turns my stomach!
i dont recall previous administrations doing these things but I also don't think bush's administration had much of a virtual presence and prior to that social media really hadn't taken off like it has now.
I agree with the virtual presence. However, I have read so many things from past presidents of both parties and how they respected the White House as the "peoples house", not their particular parties house. The vast majority appear to respect the White House as a representation of the USA and not a political tool, until now it seems. It will be interesting to hear Obama's post-presidential view of the office which he held and contrast that with other presidents. (Teeth champing on what I would really like to say
