Obama savours his own White House Camelot in photo homage to Kennedy
Tim Reid in Washington [Pic in URL]
It is a clear homage to perhaps the most iconic White House photograph.
Almost 46 years after the world first saw two-year-old John F. Kennedy Jr playing under the Oval Office desk as his father worked, the White House has released a picture of Sasha Obama, 8, hiding behind a sofa as President Obama reads briefing papers at the same desk.
According to the White House, Sasha is sneaking up on her father as he nears the end of a working day behind the Resolute desk, which was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1879.
The original photograph, taken in October 1963, a month before President Kennedy was assassinated, shows John Jr peering out from under the desk as his father, like Mr Obama, reviews briefing papers. It was a photograph that helped to promote the image of Kennedys Camelot the youthful President running the country with a young family playing at his side in the White House.

Underage girls hiding under the White House furniture is not exclusively a Kennedy thing.

Congratulations! I crossed over to the right side during Desert Storm. I finally had enough of hating this country, I decided we're the good guys.

This is an odd photo. It is not worth 1,000 words.

0’s entire presidency is staged. Thanks for the pic it proves the point. It makes it look as if 0 doesn’t know this girl is in his office and that he is so so absorbed in the work of government. Gimme A Break!

It’s interesting that they remembered to showcase Ubama’s suit jacket by hanging it on the chair in a clean line of sight for the photo. See? Ubama’s as respectful of the Oval Office as Bush was? See??
