If he sat at his desk on a regular basis, he would realize that the chair is too short and would either push the lever to raise the seat up or order one that is taller. He looks like a little boy playing “pretend” at an adult’s desk. If you have to hunch your shoulders up to write (third picture), then your chair is way too short. (First picture looks like he trying to find a pen and doesn’t even know where they’re kept.)
I went back and looked at the photos and you’re correct! LOL! I remember reading somewhere about how the Obama’s had redone the Oval office and how great it was. They put a bowl of apples on the coffee table and set up a bunch of Target- framed photos on the table behind his too large desk.
“He looks like a little boy playing pretend at an adults desk.”
LOL, the pen is right next to the book. I think he was looking down at a hidden teleprompter....
