Still awaiting decent pictures of the new Press Briefing Room and Press Offices…. Here is another article, with images that will make any photographer wince. Why pay professionals handsome salaries if you’re only going to display their pictures 274 pixels across?
The article says they haven’t enlarged it at all and have even kept the pool—the pool that’s been covered and unused for fully half its existence.
UPDATE: Added pics to the Press Briefing Room and Press Offices pages, including a mind-blowing photo of the brand-new Nixon briefing/tea party room from a great article passed along by both Robert and Pete.
The Elliptical Saloon 
Washington Post today is reporting that the pool is gone, that the floor is concrete.
The new photo from TIME shows the new briefing room being finished up: http://www.time.com/time/politics/whitehouse/photos/0,27424,1641428,00.html
LOL, I wish these people woud get their story straight:
“The old wooden floor that once covered the pool has been replaced with a poured concrete floor.”
