White House anger over Obama selfie

The White House has criticised Samsung for promoting a "selfie" photo taken by Boston Red Sox player David Ortiz with President Barack Obama. The picture was taken by Ortiz on his Samsung phone this week and was re-tweeted by Samsung to millions of the phone maker's 5.2 million followers. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the president's image should not be used for commercial gain. Samsung representatives have not so far commented on the issue, according to BBC.
