(all the talk today about emotions,
really made me appreciate the seriousness on their faces in this situation, kpete)

1. In that first pic, Hillary is the most emotional,

just judging by her body language.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

7. Or thoughtful... or had an itch

Hard to tell from one still.

[Uncle Joe]

10. She seems to be covering her mouth not scratching it and her eyes are too expressive to

just be thoughtful, at least that's the way I read it.

I don't have anything against emotion and you're correct about how one still can be misleading but then sometimes a picture can be worth a thousand words as well.

2. I'd still like to know WTF is up with that 2nd photo

Obama looks like he's performing the Heimlich on the person seated in front of him

[Uncle Joe]

3. It's not a good pic, I can't tell what he's doing.

On edit, maybe he has his arms around a chair, hugging style.

4. I think he's casting "Magic Missile"

:)

5. He may be gripping a lecturn

That's the only thing I can figure

[AmBlue]

6. Or putting on/taking off his jacket. n/t

[housewolf]

9. Yeah, that's possible too

seeing as how the sleeves appear so loose
