Clinton Meets With Obama, and the Rest Is Secret. How Do You Read This Look From Obama?(PIC)

[tekisui]

For 17 months, they tracked one another’s movements like prey.

But Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton came together here Thursday evening to pull off a secret rendezvous. They ditched their traveling entourages, eluded camera crews across town and startled many of their own advisers as they held their first private meeting since becoming archrivals for the Democratic presidential nomination.

It was a political scavenger hunt like this capital had seldom seen before — at least in the current frenzied climate — where the two rivals huddled at an undisclosed location. Only hours earlier, she sought to cool speculation that she was clamoring to be his running mate, but suddenly the city’s media was awash in rumor as word spread of their meeting.

The evening began in routine fashion, with Mr. Obama holding a large rally in northern Virginia. Then, he was scheduled to travel by motorcade to Dulles International Airport and fly to Chicago. The motorcade arrived, but Mr. Obama did not, stirring alarm among reporters who had been aboard the campaign plane for 45 minutes as it sat on the tarmac.

Shortly before takeoff, one part of the secret was divulged. Robert Gibbs, the campaign’s communications director, said Mr. Obama would not be flying to Chicago as previously scheduled. He gave no reason for this mysterious pronouncement and there was little time for questions, considering that the engines had started to whir.

Sunlen Miller, who covers the Obama campaign for ABC News, filed an urgent dispatch via Blackberry to report that the senator had abruptly changed plans and had given the slip to those who were traveling with him all day. “I sent it as the wheels were going up,” Ms. Miller said of her message, recounting the agitation and confusion among her fellow travelers as the 757 lifted off.

1. To me it looks like, "I have a secret, suckas"

[jakem]

3. i was thinking "i totally just ditched you with the camera, suckers!"

[wolfgirl]

2. He looks exhausted, but determined.

It's gonna be very interesting to hear what was discussed....

[faithfulcitizen]

4. "I thought I lost you"

[WeDidIt]

5. He got what he wanted

It's a done deal.

[Sanity Claws]

6. The cat ate the canary

He looks like he won.

[ecstatic]

7. He looks very nervous to me nt

[Window]

15. I've yet to see Sen. Obama look nervous. He always looks cool, calm and collected IMO.

Now, he does look extremely tired in this pic.

[monmouth]

8. Hillary will NOT be on the ticket in any way, shape, or form....n/t

[Libby2]

16. I so hope that you are wrong.

[lojasmo]

19. No, she will not.

Cabinet position, or SCOTOUS.

[RC]

9. I would say he got pressured, big time.

I hope he resisted. Hillary is bad news.

[grannylib]

10. Confident, but giving nothing away. He won't be taken by the

Clinton machine - he runs the party now, and he knows it. They'd better know it too, or they'll get steamrolled. Progress may leave them WAY behind.

[CatsDogsBabies]

11. Annoyed that he has to be waving at a camera when

he really wants to be getting something done without a camera around.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. I think he might need to be used to that.

If not, he picked the wrong line of work.

[GalleryGod]

12. Looks like Michael Corleone to me !

"Moe Green's is dead, Stratchi, Cunio,Bardzini, I settled all family debts today"

[Alter Ego]

13. "Is Barack Obama gonna hafta get out this car and CHOKE SOMEONE?"

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. You know you wanted to say it...

:rofl:

[Alter Ego]

26. Yeah, I did.

Goddamn primaries.

[stray cat]

14. His eyes are laughing

[GalleryGod]

17. "The face-to-face meeting, INITIATED by Mrs. Clinton"

She told him not to consider her (or them) because Bill doesn't want to open the Foundation's Books

[BeyondGeography]

18. "It's late, we're all tired, go to bed you guys," is I how I read it

[stray cat]

20. I think you got it right!

[Orsino]

21. "Need help; call police."

But seriously, I don't know how to read that expression--which is probably his intent. I'm guessing that he's not selecting her as VP, and wanted to let her know in absolute secrecy to allow her to spin her net move as she pleases.

On the other hand, perhaps they're planning their future campaigning together as prez and veep. not sure how to read this.

[symbolman]

23. Hes sick of the Drama

having to bend over backwards for her henhouse chickenshit when HE WON and has made History..

Wants it over with, bug knows the Drama Queen is having so much fun with the process and won't stop doing Anything she wants unless 20 Congressmen Scream at her..

She really IS like a little kid..

And I believe she's cracked, Bills affair shot worldwide broke her.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

24. Was Miller trying to crash the plane?

I thought electronic devices are supposed to be turned off at take-off.


:scared:

[AspenRose]

25. He's tired.

.

[windbreeze]

27. I should have known I couldn't fool ALL of you....

He looks like the cat who caught the canary...wb

[applegrove]

29. He looks very serious.

[Toucano]

30. I think he looks satisfied, but fatigued.

It could be satisfied that he was able to pull off the secret rendevouz or it could be that he was satisfied about the content of the meeting.

Since the wave and look are directed at a press photographer, I'd say satisfied about the secret is more plausible.

I hope he gets to take a break. He's earned it!
