Photo #1 Post

Three things I feel that you could infer from the picture located above, which was in the New York Daily News include the following comments:
·         President Obama looks pleased with his current situation and what is taking place around him;
·         From the caption, my best estimate is that a drug shipment has possibly been successfully confiscated; and
·         When people walk with the President of the United States, no one walks ahead of him – only beside or behind him.
Two questions come to mind when I see this photo.  The two questions are: “Why does everyone look so pleased since Obama’s overall approval rating has fallen?” and “What exactly has just taken place that has pleased President Obama and the others in the photo?”
Of the two pictures, the picture from the New York Daily News is the one that makes me feel the most confident about President Obama.  I say this because I feel the president’s body language in this picture gives the reader a sense that he has accomplished his goal.  Also, the individuals that President Obama has surrounded himself with for this “photo op” look pleased with the events that have just taken place.
