Obama Administration redefines "round"

Washington, DC - Rectangular is the new round. At least, if you're in the Obama administration.

According to a recent WhiteHouse.gov blog post, Vice President Joe Biden held "a roundtable with business leaders ... to discuss how the Recovery Act is providing new opportunities for creativity and innovation in business."

However, close examination of the photo of the event shows nary a round table to be found.


Eight men (including the VP) can be seen sitting at a rectangular table on a raised platform in front of more than a dozen people seated in chairs.

When asked to confirm that a "round table" event did in fact occur, White House staff responded in the affirmative.

What will the administration redefine next?
