Obama, Meet TwitPic

by Brad Jackson

Thanks to Mark Knoller, we have this gem from TwitPic of Obama, alone in the Oval Office and starring out the window. Knoller asks in the photo’s caption, “Wonder what he’s thinking about?” and the comments below the picture don’t disappoint. One commenter, “tweachisown,” thinks the President is silently saying, “I wish they all saw me as a god.” Another, “zener39″ thinks Obama is wondering, “Where O where did I put my golf balls…” He is, after all, the Golfer in Chief.

It may have been a blatant attempt to recreate the famous picture of Kennedy hunched over his desk in the Oval Office, or just a candid snap pushed out to the world instantly through the wonders of social media, who knows, Knoller didn’t provide context for the picture. What do you think President Obama is thinking in this photo? Leave your suggestions in the comments below.
