There's a valid technical reason for this.  People with darker skin would
look underexposed in a picture and unrecognizable, so adjusting the exposures
accordingly would end up bleacing out lighter-skinned people's faces.

Since our president has lighter skin we have to make sure that his face is
recognizable.  So it's better to just show him with other people with the 
same complexion.  Purely from a photography standpoint, of course.
