From the Buzz

Last week Barack and Michelle Obama hosted a reception for visiting foreign dignitaries at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Over the course of the evening, the president, whose “amazingly consistent” smile created a viral video, and first lady posed for over 130 photographs with their guests, all of which were later posted to the State Department’s Flickr page.

This caused a problem: Included was a shot of the Obamas posing with Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his wife Sonsoles Espinosa, and two daughters, Laura, 16, and Alba, 13, who’ve never had photographs of themselves published previously in print or online due to a Spanish law prohibiting the media from doing so. The photo of Zapatero and his family with the Obamas was quickly removed from Flickr at the request of the Spanish government..

Well, maybe that’s because they looked so “Goth?” Not to disappoint, we have the photo. Click below to see it.
