People care because the White House was seen to be lying in one of the first statements made to the press.

If, instead, they'd just said n-thousand people attended, and made some comment about bad weather, the attention would have moved on to the next thing a lot sooner.

Well when wasn't the White House lying :-). I guess I've come to expect very little from govt officials. It still seems like bike shedding to me
