The White House has objected to the now-infamous selfie featuring baseball star David Ortiz and President Obama, spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday. “As a rule, the White House objects to attempts to use the president’s likeness for commercial purposes,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said. “And we certainly object in this case.” Boston.com Ortiz took the photo with Obama when the Red Sox came to the White House on Tuesday to be honored for the ballclub’s 2013 World Series Championship.
