Obama_the smallest man in the room.


Obama looks so small.


I am fascinated by the photo of the Bin Laden operation and the final minutes of his capture and death.
I look at this photo and have to comment on our presidents demeanor. The other men and women look engaged, deliberate and resolute. Obama looks so small, ....like he wants to make this all go away. He looks like a kid in a room of grown-ups who doesn't really belong there. He also looks like he might be ill or sick and someone in the room would say its OK to go to bed, we can handle this.  I think of Bush at the 9/11 site so strong and forceful and this little man who is lost in a job that overwhelms him. He really just wants to hang out with the cool kids and have parties and brag about BB picks. He doesn't want to make the hard decisions, this is what his posture and demeanor tell us.

 Let's allow Obama to run along now and lets find someone who can make decisions when the job is difficult. Someone who doesn't look so overwhelmed by the job of president.
