The White House - Rear Garden view. I think this may be the oval office on the top floor, but I am not sure.

At the base of the Lincoln Memorial there was a very striking display of support for President-Elect Obama. Thousands of people around the world had joined together to create billboards offering congratulations and testimonials of hope for the USA and world under the new presidents’ leadership, and thousands more had signed the displays after being erected in Washington. It was quite a sight to see just how much hope Mr. Obama has given to so many people around the world.
