Ok, Dr. Johnson, I figured out how to open teh picture. I told you it has been a long time for me, especially being taught online. Ok. Obama appears to be somber, even melancholy. He looks as though he has been defeated on every tutn and is just plain disgusted.
Well in my opinion President Obama facical expression is very powerful. His eyes show so many emotions such as frustration, fear, pain, anger; however, I also see determination. Overall, Obama looks as though he is full of stress, but his mouth expression explains to me that he will not give up and he is about business. A very serious man I might add as well.
Dr. Johnson, I agree with the other bloggers that this picture says a lot. It shows anger, confusion, and defeat. I think that is what the author wants you to see. They want you to think President Obama is incompetent, yet he is far from that. I think the picture also shows how determined he is, even in this time of uncertainty, Obama has hope. So do I.
President Obama looks sad and tired on this picture. This picture is a negative advertisement to persuade voters against voting for President Obama. He is human and has some bad days just as we all do.
The headline along with the photo says it all.The photo in my opinion captures Obama in an unpleasant mood. He's not smiling and just seems unhappy. If the media focuses or targets that as the leading story the public will associate that label to him, as being unpopular. Especially when photos such as these always focusing on when he's not energetic and jolly.
In my opinion the photo almost looks like a mug shot. He has an distant and almost angry look on his face. The picture makes it seems as if he has given up or been defeated in a battle or something. Pictures like this especially in comparison to the pictures of our previous president( whcih were usually always smiling and waving or in some way in a good mood)give the impression that he feels overwhelmed and burn out and just cant cut it as our president.
I do not see a picture of President Obama Dr. Johnson. Is there something I am not doing right?
