White House is shocked! Shocked!

To discover self-promotion is going on with technology companies. That's supposed to be reserved for politicians;

The White House has criticised Samsung for promoting a "selfie" photo taken by Boston Red Sox player David Ortiz with President Barack Obama.

The picture was taken by Ortiz on his Samsung phone this week and was re-tweeted by Samsung to millions of the phone maker's 5.2 million followers.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the president's image should not be used for commercial gain.

The POTUS can't even be allowed to associate himself with popular sportsmen, without someone taking advantage.  Tsk, tsk.
