Hold On.
This was in the East Room
The gold lamps and drapes have been there for a long time:

It was the lack of flags that got people wondering about other stuff.

You can be sure the backdrop was carefully chosen though

Of course...these pictures are in the press room. The press conference was in a much larger room.

There are usually flags in the press room, even when Obama speaks.

Oh, please. Presidents very seldom make an appearance in the press room. That's the place for their spokesperson to talk.

Also, there are not "usually flags in the press room". While I've seen a lot of pictures of the press room, I have yet to see one with a flag displayed. Perhaps you'd like to post a link to one since they're usually there. (The only case where I think that there might be one brought in would be if the president were to make a pre-planned visit there.)
