I have noted (as I am sure all of you have) the official photos of Obama, ALWAYS has him looking “pleased” and looking far of into the future he has planed for us.
This is impersonal, arrogant and anti everything I would ever think a “President” would want to show people.
Bush, Reagan, (Bill Clinton) always had a personable smile and looked directly into the camera.
Now sure what Jimmy Carters photos were as I just could not stand looking at his “extra syrupy” personality.
Comments welcome...................
Same reason as Roman emperors were always shown in profile on coins - The Emperor is too great to look at the people.
