Behind the Lens: When the President Heard the News of the Supreme Court Decision on the Affordable Care Act

The President was in the middle of his daily briefing on Thursday when Brian Mosteller, the director of Oval Office operations, abruptly opened the door at 10:10AM.

Knowing a series of Supreme Court decisions were pending, I instinctively switched to my camera with a telephoto lens to zoom in on the President. Brian told the President that, in a 6–3 decision, the Court upheld a critical part of the Affordable Care Act, preserving affordable coverage for millions of Americans.

For one split second, the President’s face was blank as if he was trying to comprehend the news. He then reacted in jubilation.

So happy for the country!

a Corporate and Chamber of Commerce suck up. This Guy will never rule against big business. And Gay Marriage will help Corporations avoid law Suites,which by the way,is one Company H.R. Departments biggest nightmares.
