legal experts, is it illegal to use a photo from the white house website?
Is it property of the person who took it, the WH, or is it public domain to use on a t-shirt or something of the sort?

1. I'm no lawyer
But I would think it would be public domain, as your tax dollars paid for it.

2. I think it would depend
on who you are. If you are a Repug and use photo to further glorify Shrub....it would certainly be public domain and you would be considered a hero.

however, if you are a Democrat and use the photo to discredit the Shrub, you would be accused of treason and shot at dawn.
