Original Story Link (http://theweek.com/article/index/259887/speedreads-obamas-press-secretary-decorates-home-with-soviet-propaganda)
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and his family are featured in a worshipful profile ([url]http://www.washingtonian.com/mom/features/balancing-act/[/url]) in this month's Washingtonian magazine.
It's the sort of adoring journalistic exercise reserved for only the most handsome of the power elite. In it you can find out details about the Carney dog (a cousin to presidential pooch Sonny!), and how much the press secretary's tie costs ($135).
But keen observers may notice the kitchen decor in the photo: Soviet propaganda posters. They really are the perfect pop of color whether you are the dour and sincere Nikita Khrushchev or the cheeky press-wrangler for a president who is constantly accused of being a socialist himself. --Michael Brendan Dougherty

IMHO, based on my research, the story seems to be accurate. That pic is made up tho.

Keep in mind that Jay Carney worked as correspondent in Moscow for Time Magazine. If my memory serves me right didn't his wife Claire Shipman live in Moscow with her first husband who was a Bureau Chief there for CNN or MSNBC or something?
Anyhow, those just might be mementos from their time living in the former USSR.
