1. And from Congress....

4. PERFECT! nt

2. #4 slays me.

Boner looks like he just ate bad candy and Cantor looks like the kid the teacher will not talk to any more.

What I find MOST amazing tho, is -- after hearing for WEEKS that the POTUS wasn't working with people -- these pictures prove QUITE a different story.

6. I think what was said is that the president wasn't working with Dems

which appears to be true

[gateley]

13. He's ignoring Cantor and Boehner - did you see the pic? nt

3. BTW, #* is wrong --

That's Joe Biden, not Nancy Pelosi...

I thought that was a little funny.

5. Interesting pics

He is not afraid to be different than his predecessors in terms of style.

7. Placeholder. No comment.

8. After looking at all those pics, I have several comments.

I look at things like stance & demeanor. Obama always seems to be confident and relaxed. The opposition is confrontational.

I look at their shoes. YES, their shoes. We aren't looking at a bunch of poor people here, and their choice of shoe styles tells me that Boner is more or less in the same thinking as Obama and Biden, but Cantor is NOT!

I see a WH that works well together.

I'm also glad to see Obama working well & often with his VP.


I'd LOVE to see similar photos of Boner and the TBer crowd to be able to make the same analysis.

11. What shoes was Cantor wearing? Jack boots?

tasseled loafers, I think (kind of cliche, but Joe can carry them off), and don't remember about Obama and Cantor.

Remember when Obama was I THINK still the candidate and his feet were up on the desk, holes in the bottom of his shoes? Great shot.

14. Here ya go :)

9. Whatever...but that coffee table/lamps in the Oval Office are the freaking ugliest things ever.

[gateley]

10. Was that the one that the bowl of apples was on? I was thinking

that looked pretty ugly - and not "White House Style", not that I'm sure what that would be.

12. My fave is Obama and Biden shaking hands. They worked

their asses off, regardless of how one views the outcome. Must have been quite a feeling knowing they were going to get a deal after all the crap the Republicans pulled.
