Tell me what the guy standing behind them is thinking

[hedda_foil]

1. If you want the truth ...

He looks like Lee Harvey Oswald reincarnated. Not the same face, but the same expression.

[burrowowl]

2. Looks like

photo ops of photo ops and people in the background don't look like they are in on it.

[nostamj]

3. why must that POS always play 'dress up'

any bets on how many Ken dolls and GI Joes in his private collection?

[pinkpops]

4. I'm reading it as

What the hell is he smiling about?

[dkf]

5. Gee, do you think the NYT picked this for a reason?

Look who has the credit on the photo: Agence France-Presse.

haha

[kentuck]

6. Notice no one else is paying any attention to him?

Except for that one GI and he doesn't look a damn bit happy..

7. What is Gulfstream 5?

From the article:

On the flight over, Air Force One had come within sight of a British Airways plane, Dan Bartlett, the White House communications director, told reporters on the trip, according to the transcript.

The British Airways pilot radioed over and asked, Mr. Bartlett said, "Did I just see Air Force One?" There was silence from the Air Force One pilot, who then replied, "Gulfstream 5."

There was a longer silence from the British Airways pilot, Mr. Bartlett said, who, seeming to get that he was in on a secret, then said, "Oh."

11. A Gulfstream 5 is a type of business jet

a "5" is a 500 http://www.gulfstream.com/g500/ The BA Pilot most CERTAINLY could tell the difference between a Gulfstream 500 and a Boeing 747, even at night and at a distance. But, like most airline pilots, he probably had military experience and knew when to shut up.

13. I guess that's why he said, "OH"

BTW, Thanks for the info.

15. No Prob. I am an Aviation enthusiast....Thats why Shrub flying all the...

time bugs the crap out of me. I swear, he seems to be on that 747 every other day and that thing is EXPENSIVE to operate. So much for fiscal responsibility. Of course, we all knew that was a BS line anyway.

8. The woman looks like she's winking at us while gritting her teeth and

forcing a smile. Probably thinking, 'if I don't kiss this pig's arse, he'll tattoo a big bullseye on mine tonight'.

[pinkpops]

9. I wasn't focused much on her

but I think I can hear her now.

10. The guy behind him gives me the creeps. He looks like any of hundreds

of Okie types around here and the look on his face says this to me:
(I do NOT need any flames here) "Why is my president chumming around with that n*gg*r.)

I am only reporting the kind of thing I hear often. Please do not kill the messenger, okay?

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. maybe he was thinking "Cause of that dickhead, i am 8,000 miles....

from my family on Thanksgiving"!

[T Bone]

14. I'd say he is getting neither one of their votes next year

The laughing soldier with him is like "yeah right, 9 democrats better than you running, go sell your turkey somewhere else."

The one behind him looks like he wishes he had his gun. That's scary.
He may not mark his ballot for a dem, but I doubt he marks it for that turkey*.
