While there is a certain argument that suggests this has nothing to do with politics, to us it's a bit too much of a coincidence. Ever since google earth has been available to the general public, you have never been able to get a shot of the White House from above. Or rather you can, but it has been 'fuzzed'. Merely two days before the great mans inauguration, you can suddenly see the White House from above. Google puts this down to a change in the agency supplying the pictures, the first (U.S. Geological, a government agency) over to the second (Digital Globe, a private company). We'll leave it to you to decide. Full article courtesy of the man, Rafe Needleman over at Cnets webware...
