One point about the photographer
I am a professional photographer and the first thing I noticed about the photos is that they were taken with a telephoto lens probably from the upper seats. People keep quoting the photographer yet all he/she said was that it looked like Obama turned away. Well, from across the room it would be very hard to know exactly what was going on. Obama said Claire McCaskill asked him a question and she backs that up. From across the room the photographer would have no way to hear any conversations.

This photo clearly shows the photo was taken from a long distance from the upper seats.

4. The view is from up above and it's compressed with shallow depth of field
we see the top of peoples heads. Clearly a telephoto lens.

7. That appears to be a pic of Obama possibly looking at Hillary....
should he had cast his eyes to the floor?

Must be the Arrogant "perfumed prince" in him.
You know, the Harold Ford syndrome that uppity negroes
sometimes get when they forget their "place".

Lordy! He must want to do her harm.
Wouldn't want to ride in the elevator alone with him...that's for sure! :sarcasm:

12. What about it?
What are you seeing in this pic? He's listening to Ted Kennedy and glancing at Hillary Clinton. What am I missing?

2. I saw the film, not the photo...

6. It certainly warrants that. Nothing of this importance should be left to interpretation.
I hope they're already on it.

11. The picture clearly shows Obama spitting on Clinton.
And her reaction of a swift kick to the nuts.

10. "Obama said Claire McCaskill asked him a question and she backs that up."
Axelrod said Obama turned to given Hillary and Kennedy privacy. The Obama camp really should get it's story straight.

25. Interesting...
The full film I saw on the late news last night didn't show anyone near him that would have been speaking to him, and he was not looking in the direction of anyone in particular even if there were someone facing him. They played it a few times to be sure... interesting....

15. To say BO did not snub HRC is to say that he did not notice her.
And anybody incapable of noticing his chief rival when he knows she is going to be in the room, and when she is standing only five feet away, is obviously FAR too dull and unobservant to be president.

OTOH, if he DID notice her, he's even LESS qualified to be president because it exposes him as a callous, insincere creep.

Incompetent, incurious, insolent, or insincere?

Takes your pick
