I guess MSNBC couldn't come up with a better photo of President-Elect Obama
and his advisors:



It's tilted to the left...(subliminal message?)...Rahm looks angry, very angry. The men behind him look dismal at best.

WTF, MSNBC? Can you not get a photographer that can take well-framed photos?

10. Right. It seems the focus of their photo is more the "evil" Rahm than
of Obama.

4. Yeah, it's not like you can get a good pic of Barack or anything.
He's just not photogenic, poor guy. :rofl:

The whole thing looks like a still from 1966's Batman. KA-POW!!!

12. I think we need to buy Rahm a stick...
so he can continually whack it against his hand while standing behind Obama. I'd like for the Freepers and the uncooperative 'pubs in Congress to have that visual in their heads every time they see Obama.

11. It's Not a Great Picture
I believe the balding white guy in the back is Paul Volcker. He always looks like that -- probably as a result of studying the dismal science and being Fed Chairman.

Volcker was an economic advisor of some type to Obama during the campaign. He's highly respected and might be a leading candidate for the Fed or Treasury if he's interested. Is he part of the transition team? Don't know what else would account for his presence.
