This photograph, released by the White House on Thursday, reveals the terrible moment when President Barack Obama was told the shocking news about the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The President, who has described the day of the shootings as the ‘worst day of my presidency,’ is seen bowing his head and closing his eyes as John Brennan, his deputy national security adviser, informs him about the tragic events unfolding in Newtown, Connecticut.
In the wake of the tragedy, the president has tasked his deputy Joe Biden with leading a task force to look at proposals to tighten current firearms legislation.

Totally faked. He couldn’t even get the town’s name right in his first speech.
After some reflection he looked up and said “let’s not let this crisis go to waist.”
Can't put my finger on it, but he's just creepy.
Convenient that the WH photographer just happened to be in the Oval Office to catch the historic moment. I call BS.
That’s it? That’s the great magnamimous picture that the overpaid White House photobug captured??? This says it all, folks.
HE BLEEDING DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANY OF US!
With THAT kind of reaction, it looks as though he just lost the office pool on some ballgame, somewhere!!!
Worthless! Spineless! King of Putrescence!
Boo! Rubbish! Slime!
Like “Quick get the WH photog. ‘cuz we’re gonna spring something on Bammy” - yeah, right.
How come he can’t seem to treat WH furnishing with a bit more respect than a lazy teen ager
BS. He doesn’t work in the Oval Office. He works somewhere else because he smokes and that’s not allowed in the Oval Office per national park federal law. So these days the Oval Office is just for photo ops. Unless he was already there for another staging, this picture is a total set up. Why is the general public so blatantly fooled by this crap?
‘hatred’ doesn’t cover it
B fn S! Even if this is the moment he heard about Sandy Hook, it was not his first re-action. Extreme glee was on his new found ability to get a fast n furious response and take out the 2nd amendment.
I’m betting he’s high in this pic.
Where’d you get it?
CR@P!! This is really going to put a damper on my trip to Hawaii.
Then he performed his own version of “singing in the rain” dancing in the blood of the innocent.
Bingo!
Would you like a copy? Just right-click on it and select copy-image, or for FR posting, copy-image-link.
Other than that, it is just the result of a google image search for “Ø smiling”, filling in its name instead of the Ø. (I can no longer write its name, and always use Ø instead, of something that is completely destroying my kids future)
As soon as I heard about the massacre in Sandy Hook, I KNEW what Obama was doing—dancing like a 10 year old on Christmas Day.
Wow, I can’t believe you just wrote that because it was the first thought I had when I saw the photo. Creepy is exactly the right word to describe him.
And notice that the door to the oval office is propped open with the brass hardware, like this totally transparent administration has an “open door policy”, so anyone passing by can come in to worship the “won”.
Me too. He has always has given me the impression he is in over his head - totally incompetent - does just as he is told!
This son of Frank Marshall Davis is really thinking about how he can use this shooting to chip away at the 2nd Amendment.
I believe that about as much as I believe Joe Isuzu.
I think he just got told they were having liver and onions again in the white house cafeteria.
Look how thick that door is. 3-4”?
Oh gosh, I got a cold chill up my spine seeing that picture again.
That would really tick off Mooch, with her obesity program.
;)
Obama: "Were they white kids or black kids?"
I'm sorry sir but the golf course is closed, it is just raining too hard out for it to be playable
That door propped open? There is no wood trim around the opening - looks like it is a secret door - with “secret” being more in line with this pResident.
And that “pose” is odd. I imagine some expert could get something from it. But the crossed legs and arms seem very nonchalant. When I turned on my computer that morning and saw the headlines I was alone at home and cussing and yelling and banking the desk with my fists - seriously. A mix of anger and sadness at the evil that had happened.
learn not to 'freak out'.
Driving the 'Choom Wagon" doesn't instill the same sort of discipline.
No kidding. He is sitting on the back of a couch and has his legs crossed over and his arms crossed. Looks kind of casual.
You would think he would look more animated and agitated, and would be directly looking at his staff member who is relating to him a very horrible incident.
I think it is a photog set up to "catch the moment...the worst day for him".
Why doesn't he acknowledge the worst day for the families; I'm sure that their days are far worse than Obama's.

My thoughts exactly....
"Wake up, Mr. President! There's been a crisis we mustn't let go to waste!"
Obama looks like he's sleeping. So, he closes his eyes. That says nothing.
The eyes show the soul. Obama closes his and cross ankled leans on the couch. Bush's eyes are aflame - no doubt he was taking info in and making next steps in his mind.
Bush is criticized for continuing to read the children's book to conclusion.
What should he do? Get hysterical? Walk out on the kids? Scare the kids getting hysterical and walking out before finishing a children's story.
He probably didn't want to freak them out. How long would it take to finish reading a children's book.
He was roundly criticized but, for the sake of these children, I think he did just the right thing. After finishing the story, he got on to the business of what had been laid on his and the country's shoulders.
Set up. BS. You’d expect something different?
All that transparency and what-not.
What a sorry excuse for president we have.
That is a picture of a sincere, decent man who actually loves his country. The look on his face conveys the gravity of the situation.
And no, he didn’t run around panicked in front of a group of schoolchildren. He is a leader.
I thought liberals were “all about the children.” Would they have preferred that President Bush have frightened them? Apparently so.
Ditto and BTTT.

A narcissist always has a mirror or photographer close at hand.
Looks like an idiot.
Body language says everything.
Zero isn’t able to summon up enough respect for the office he holds or the room he’s in to stand up when he’s being talked to by a subordinate.
Beneath contempt.
I would like an expert to "read" him, too. Might be very interesting.
Doofus.
