65th Anniversary of D-Day
And what type of Commander and Chief sits like this unless it’s intentional? He’s surrounded by cameras every day and knows exactly at what angle he is being shot.
(From the G20) The First Lady is oblivious to the camera angle, which catches her exposed inner thigh.
Here are the boys’ near miss back in April for the G20. Sarkozy has the same fondness for barry as does the American press. And barry…? looks like he’s ready to do what he did to Dr Biden at the convention when he made his “surprise” appearance.
It’s probably why the First Lady of France chose to just shake barry’s hand.
Whereas the First Lady of America, looks like she’s going to pick up the little gingerbread man and bite his entire head off after she finishes Hannibal Lectoring him.
Please someone teach the First Couple etiquette and protocol and most of all show them what their body language is saying. They seem not to have a clue or interest in getting one. Here they look like Ellie Mae and Jethro.
Imagine if these photos were the first time you were seeing the Obamas. What would you think about the First Couple? How would feel about them representing the US on the world stage?
What do you think Arab countries would think about Mrs Obama, as pictured? Flashing her inner thigh and mannishly grabbing the President of France and literally sucking his face?
And what would the Japanese Prime MinIsiter’s wife feel sitting across from barry who looks like he’s using the presidential commode?
A couple of full length shots:
Note the shrinking posture and mannish awkwardness of Mrs Obama’s shoulders, chest, arms and hands. She looks lost and uncomfortable and not on par with the quiet but commanding feminine posture of the first Lady of France. The same quiet posture she had in their seated photo. Here they look fairly similar in size – the patterned dress/jacket flaring at the bottom making Mrs Obama look wider across the middle than she is, especially next to the straight silhouette of the neutral color. Patterns and lively colors look great on Mrs Obama but she has to realize she will be paired up with much smaller women (and male heads of state) and the busyness will just accentuate the difference.
Now go back and look at their seated photo where the lower half of Mrs Obama’s body dominates the picture making her appear twice the size of Ms Bruni. She has to realize where the camera is in comparison to her and the woman she is seated with. She uncrosses her legs puts them together and opens her posture — completely different photo. If she is given the choice should take the seat furthest from the camera. Is someone working with her on these things? Or doesn’t she think she needs it?
Now here’s all four. What do you notice besides Napoleon trying to get even? Look closely.
Here’s a prefect example of the problem with busy prints – the flags – which they routinely are photographed in front of. She should always be aware of where the official pictures re going to be taken. Again Ms Bruni is perfect – hard to compete with a model but a good person to learn from because of her height. See leans back from the camera ever so slightly to make herself look less tall. Of course he gives it away as did whoever circled it.
Mrs Obama gets an A for her legs and feet here though she is still too square to the camera. And there’s too much open surrounding her – the stars and stripes competing with the print and tie/scarf. Once again the flaring of the bottom of her jacket could have been pulled together and held with her hand if necessary with her thumb if her hands were like Ms Bruni’s.
But did you see the worst part of the photo?
Look at barry’s suit. He’s in fashion central and his suit is a giant wrinkle. His left trouser looks like corduroy in the inseam and below the knee both are a mess. It was his coming out party and he looked like he slept in clothes.
