The White House

How many rooms really are there?


There are very famous and known, publicized.



The kitchen where preparations are made.



Then there is of course the downstairs where the briefings happen,



the corp of journalists look cramped, like a bunker.


How do they ask questions, often it looks more like statements,

without a press!


Is it the fault that we more have sound bites and explanations then,


used to less journalism and more a celebrity or career-bureaucrats


who ask us not to question, or decide but to be framed into the position.


Are there more positions to consider or more options,


opportunities lost to the popularity which is the grown up


popularity contest, damages to the well thought out participatory democracy.


Or to the freedom of the press, the first amendment or coerced or pre-ordained,


fixed, staged journalistic antics and sterilized versions, like the falling teenager.


Is that supposed to bring us to a fictionalized conclusion as the Coptic or something


that we digest as news-worthy?
