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.

Set up. BS. You’d expect something different?

[hummingbird]

Yes, he sure is an "open door policy" president.

All that transparency and what-not.

What a sorry excuse for president we have.

[proud American in Canada]

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.

“Convenient that the WH photographer just happened to be in the Oval Office to catch the historic moment. I call BS.” _______________________________

A narcissist always has a mirror or photographer close at hand.

Looks a little bit like the "Joker" Heath Ledger played in Batman.

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.

"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."

I would like an expert to "read" him, too. Might be very interesting.

[hummingbird]

Doofus.

They got it wrong. That picture was taken after he was told the store was out of fresh arugala.

Even the bust of Lincoln looks ashamed.

Where's Tanya Reiman, O'Reilly's body language expert when you need her!

I haven't seen her on The Factor for ages.

She could devote a whole show to this one photo of Obama if O'Reilly wouldn't continually talk over her with a constant drooping of his shoulder.

The most transparent pre-arranged photo op since Nixon walking the beach in wingtips and a business suit. Or Billyboy arranging a pre-gathered pile of little beach stones into a cross at Normandy.

[plain talk]

Ha ha ha. You think a smoking law would stop obama from lighting up in the john? He doesn’t let the constitution stop him either.

[Toespi]

So is there a photographer in the OO at all times or do they just bring one in when there is a magic moment? Seriously, do they scream “we need a camera, get set up, I have to give the pres bad news.”

"Where's Tanya Reiman, O'Reilly's body language expert when you need her!"

Did a search for body language meanings. Crossed arms and crossed legs mean a person may feel defensive or closed off, which for Obama, means he isn't relating emotionally to the shooting. He's probably just thinking what political gains he can make out of it.

God help me.....but, Yep. sucks to suck....but race became more of an issue with THIS guy as president.

When else could a person say s/he voted for a president because of his skin color as readily and easily as people said they voted for him "because he is black"?

"Who cares? Deez is whiteys".

Was just on Drudge, and he has a link to the photo taken at the time Obama heard about the Benghazi attack. He’s got his hands in his jacket pockets. Body language search says: “The subconscious mind, which thinks in a primitive way, believes that putting your hands in your pockets is a good way to hide and to avoid the situation.” Fits him to a “T.” It also says a person putting their hands in their pockets may also be associated with lying.
