Well this is certainly the icing on the cake for the best hebdomad of the Obama presidency . For the first sentence in 40 years , visitor to the White House will be allowed to document their visit with the tv camera of their selection , and for the first time ever , visitors can straight off upload those photograph to social media . Selfies with Bo !
to begin with today , Michelle Obama made adramatic promulgation via Instagram , where she tears up the sign barring photos that used to greet visitors ( I ’ve watched this about 400 time and will credibly keep it loop in the background all day ):

But before you get too aroused , let ’s take thefine photographic print :
What you could do : Guests are allowed to bring earphone and compact still cameras with a crystalline lens no longer than three inches . Photographers may not interfere with the enjoyment of other guests on the tour .
What you could not do : White House visitors will not be allow to take video or bring a tripod of any sort . Video cameras , cameras with detachable lenses , tablets , tripod , monopods , and photographic camera sticks . Also , show off picture taking and live - streaming are not permitted while on the circuit .
So that ’s no Periscoping , no Vines , and NO SELFIE STICKS . Now think back that there ’s asupposed selfie banin the Oval Office , presumptively as not to interfere with the president ’s official business . But you could take all the selfies you desire in the East Room .
The White House has already created a hashtag ( # WhiteHouseTour ) to gather images from visitors , and here are some of the ways visitant have choose to practice it on this historical day :
