I agree (about the media perspective that is impacting what we're seeing of Condi's perceived feelings).
I don't remember what station I saw it on, but one of them had the image of Condi with her hand on her head a few days ago (when we were laughing about her reciting the "head on" commercial while doing that) and it looks like she is tired and probably frustrated (which I'm sure she is some of both, but not nearly to the extent we're getting images trying to show). Anyway, the host or reporter was showing the image to people asking what they thought she was thinking or how she was feeling, things along those lines. They all thought she looked upset, mad, frustrated, or variations like that.
They then went on to show that that wasn't a still photo of what it appeared to be, and it was actually in the midst of her using her hand to move her hair off of her face, and it was the angle that made it give that initial impression, and they played the video segment to show that, and paused it in the spot the photo was from. All the people were SO surprised when they saw the clip, and then changed their impressions of her demeanor.
They then showed another moving clip of her scratching her cheek or something along those lines (forget if it was her cheek or nose) and in that clip, as well as the hair one, you see bulbs flashing and one of the people saying something about she can't even move a finger without a photo being snapped.
It was interesting to see, and to see the shock on the faces of people who had been adament that she just either had an attitude or was completely frustrated, and then them seem to have this lightbulb go off in their heads when they saw the video clip...realizing that had been a picture many were using very strategically, and it just wasn't an accurate portrayal of at least that segement of time!
Actually Condi with head on hand is from NYC at the United Nations. There was a fly in her face and she was moving it away-but I saw the same picture across the media trying to make us think she looked upset. You know how reporters are in media events they take a photo every second always to pick the worse one or the best depending on the agenda.
