New most iconic photo of Obama:


Per BAGnewsNotes:

The consequence of being a multifaceted person with many fine qualities and strengths is that Obama presents with a lot of looks. What Kander confidently clarifies, however, is possibly the "presidential quality" that distinguishes itself above all others.

Barack Obama, as the image conveys in the most luminous way, is a listener.

As opposed to, say, a decider.

Michael Scherer has a good analysis of his 100 Days press conference including:

He went on. "I don't want to run auto companies, I don't want to run banks. I've got two wars I've got to run already. I've got more than enough to do," he said. "So the sooner we can get out of that business, the better off we're going to be."

A few minutes later, in response to another question, Obama returned to the same theme. "If you could tell me right now that, when I walked into this office that the banks were humming," he said, "that autos were selling, and that all you had to worry about was Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, getting health care passed, figuring out how to deal with energy independence, deal with Iran, and a pandemic flu, I would take that deal."

Pragmatic, not socialist.

Not to be churlish, but the GOP is responding to their regionality by rebranding yet again, and yet again with the same old hackers, a brand in search of ideas, essentially a new brand in search of brand values. Uh, promising.

Of note: it's the first vehicle for national reemergence of Jeb Bush, hence the potential reemergence of the Bush Family.

Mark my words.
