Army Releases Powerful Photo of Obama in Iraq
This photo shows Barack listening intently to Petraeus, looking calm and collected in the skies above Baghdad. This is the photograph of a working man in the working clothes of a leader, at ease with the top commander of the military in Iraq.

He looks ready to assume the role of Commander in Chief and do whatever it takes to clean up the mess made by Bush and the Neocons and bring our troops home as fast as possible.

Yesterday, the U.S. Army released an image of Barack Obama and top U.S. military commander in Iraq, David Petraeus, conversing aboard a helicopter over Baghdad. As far as composition and effect go, this is an exceptionally powerful image that his supporters should spread far and wide.

The image is an AP photo posted here:

8. Love it.
And I love how it was released by the Army itself, and not the Obama campaign!
