All the pictures are from today. The first several are of the first page of Yahoo search results for the White House official website. The last two are of the first part of the White House Twitter page.
Apparently, Josh Earnest, who succeeded Jay Carney as Press Secretary this past May, is just as vicious as Mr. Carney was. According to the article I just read, Mr. Earnest has worked with President Obama since 2008.

How many more people will have to leave President Obama's employment before he takes responsibility for his staff?
For a long time, President Obama has struck me as being a bad manager. He is, if I correctly understand his history, primarily an academic whose organizational experience is probably not at the level of dealing with the daily workings of groups, from logistics to workplace politics.
He clearly does not have, and probably never has had, concern for the things that dealing directly with people in groups teaches intelligent people respect for; not offending when you can avoid it, trying to be fair even when you can silence or punish people with your power, not allowing your personal grudges to run away with you so that you cause bigger problems. He's a "See no evil" type of boss; as long as he can tune out objections to how his business is being dealt with, and he doesn't think he's in imminent danger of consequences to himself, he couldn't care less about what happens every day, or how many people he needlessly harms as long as they aren't people whom he considers important or are people he considers to be enemies.
