Take a look at the Brigadier General ‘communicating what seems to be briskly’ on his puter...(He's responsible for preparing “Special Operations” forces for missions around the world.)... What if Obama is sitting low and near him to be informed of that aspect of the operation. Obama need only glance over to see his screen.
Not that I want this to look any particular way...but am just trying to see all angels of why the seating occurred as it did.
I want to see angels too, but not until its time ...
