What is the gold backdrop for President Obama White House speeches?
I am not sure which backdrop you are referring to. Looking at photos from the White House, which were taken in the East Room, all I can see are attractive gold drapes with flowers and other ornate designs on them. There was an urban myth about two years ago that the president redecorated the room with secret Muslim symbols; this is untrue, and no changes in the decor have taken place. I enclose a link to one of many official White House photos of the room where the drapes are, showing the president giving a speech there.
