Whether what the statement says is in accordance with the law is a subject for lawyers, but it's quite clear that the statement is not about copyright. However, it is written in a very weird way that attempts to imply that you can't do certain things with the photo - "This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph." Ok, that's nice. I could still print one out and use it to wallpaper my house or wipe my butt if I felt like it, based on my understanding of the law, but IANAL. It also says that the photo cannot be manipulated in any way. I'm not sure on what basis that could be enforced other than copyright. However, the full statement never actually makes a claim of copyright.
