5. Thanks - but still VERY strange
- in a super way, of course.

Can see his navy suit in front of whatever weird drape on the chair.

12. Yes! - He took off his jacket
and draped it over the chair. What looks like the shoulders of a navy suit is actually the top of the chair.

Discerned this after viewing the slide show at the NYT.

But he is still SUPERMAN to me.

18. I don't see it that way ...
It looks to me like he's wearing a big windbreaker type jacket and it a spread out cause he probably has his hands on his hips or something.

If a jacket is on the chair then the photo would be showing that his arms would be cut off at the shoulders.

I just can't see what you're seeing there.

20. He's wearing a warm up jacket, and the camera angle is a little distorted.
Presumably, he came to the briefing room from some outdoor foray.

It does look odd, though.

amusedly,
Bright

21. Golfed earlier
To not have an interrupted schedule tip off watchers, even though he shortened it to 9 holes.

Yes, the others are standing up. But cameral angle could have obscured that he was sitting down. But then, he IS Superman.

24. Star Trek officer's dress uniform?
:shrug:

I'd be OK with him wearing a bathrobe to work every day if it means getting results like this.
