I agree it was staged. The photo does not have a “telephoto lens” look to me so the photographer was up close which means they let him get up close.

Yep, and also, when a president or president elect travels, and especially when one settles in a vacation spot for a time, the SS establishes a wide security perimeter. Not sure many could get within telephoto lens distance to take such a picture. And Obama looks like he’s posing for a photo.
