Surely you heard of Obama/docs photo-op

Unless, of course, you depended on the AP, which I read this morning as little more than a p.r. release from the Obama communications dept. Here's a good take from Ann Althouse:

"Tuesday, October 06, 2009 Obama's photo-op with the doctors gets reported as...

"A sea of health-care-reform-supporting doctors was assembled to be photographed listening to Obama tell them what a sea of health-care-reform-supporting doctors they are, and they were supposed to all be wearing white lab coats — so they'd look like a sea of health-care-reform-supporting doctors.

"But some of them — despite getting the memo to wear their lab coats — came dressed, well, appropriately. They wore business suits/dresses for their audience with a President. Oh, no!

"White House staff had to scramble to get a bunch of lab coats, and the photo-op of the staffers passing out lab coats to the doctors was much more amusing than the a sea of health-care-reform-supporting doctors the White House wanted.

"Come on, people! Obama's in trouble. You need to help."

New York Post got it: "White House's botched 'op'"
