Q. Who authorized release of the WH Sit Room photo?
05/02/2011 | PhilStone

Dumb0 still in his golf clothes, looking pissed, stuck in the corner while the adults are in the chairs with laptops.

Looks like the kid you invite to a party because you know he doesn't have any friends but then leave to skulk around by himself because there's a reason he doesn't have any friends.

And what signal does that photo send to foreign leaders? That Dumb0 really isn't in charge (which frankly, isn't the worst signal to send out)?

Boy, ain't that the truth. He looks like he'd much rather be out playin' golf than playin' pressydent.

What a putz!

Well Obama may have had it released in order to show how scared Hillary looked. Perhaps just in case she changes her mind and decides to run against him.

I dunno, I’ll cut him a break on this. Candid photos...pfft. More worried about his lousy policies than what he wears.

I can think of many things to criticize the President for - this picture isn't one of them. It is one of the few, non-staged pictures I've seen of him and I'd say he looks focused, not pissed. They all look pretty intensely focused.

But Hillary has a laptop and classified briefing book in front of her. Dumb0 got nothing. Air Forcer sitting in exec chair with Hill and Plugs in supporting positions.

Obama would never have authorized the release of this photo.

Oh! I thought she was just shocked at the wallpaper on Gen. Webb’s laptop, as he scrambled to get it off the projector!

Sorry, he looks like the weasel that he is. Very out of place.

Sorry, but Dumb0 never “focuses” unless it’s about him. And the Prez always gets a swivel chair,not a standard chair that they pulled out of the hallway at the last minute.

Just watch this play out. Dumb0 is being sabotaged by others in the WH.

He looks serious and as you said non staged, and I agree with that. He also is the only one not wearing professional clothing and is clearly an observer whereas his vp, and secretaries are engaged on a laptop. Leading from behind. I bet no one else in that room was on a golf course earlier in the day, and that is fair game for criticism.

Little Zero is scared. Little Joe doesn’t know WTF is going on. Pathetic bunch of pandering morons surrounding the boob tube. That’s your leadership, Amerika.

That is because in this photo they are showing the "Ren & Stimpy" pre-show cartoon they offered to temp the resident off of the golf course to get some work done.

Don't know but I do know it was no surprise to all participants that it was going to be taken.

Hence the situation-appropriate expressions.

Yes, lots of shots of him chairing meetings prior and a few of him going over his speech notes after.

But you can’t tell me that for an operation that lasted 40 minutes (longer if you count debrief to make sure we got OBL)the WH can’t put together ONE candid shot of Dumb0 looking like he’s actually leading the op.

Hillary looks like she just saw Huma with another man.

Seriously doubt that. WH staff photogs just click away until they run out of battery. Figuring out WHICH photo gets released to the public is very much above their pay grade.
