No Unofficial Pictures Of Obama Allowed

Now that President Obama has officially declared his candidacy for reelection, federal employees are not allowed to have any unofficial pictures in their offices featuring the Commander in Chief - unless they happen to be in it, too. The Office of Special Counsel has just released new guidance reminding federal employees that the Hatch Act prohibits feds from - among other things - displaying pictures of candidates for partisan public office in the federal workplace. There are two exceptions: the official presidential portrait or pictures of the president conducting official business. The other exception is if it's a personal picture which includes you in it.
