Caption: President Obama meets with National Incident Commander US Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen for a briefing on the BP oil spill at Coast Guard Station Gulfport in Gulfport, Mississippi, on Monday.
Out of the two picture I saw, this one gives me more confidence in Obama. Having Admiral Thad Allen there boasts my confidence that there might actually be some discussion going on. Obama looks as though he is speaking, and the Admiral is intently listening. The caption supports this assumption. Now if the caption were to say something like...
Caption: President Obama meets with National Incident Commander US Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen for a briefing on how to cause the entire state of Louisiana to be flooded.
That caption would cause me to question the leadership of our President.
It's amazing how much a picture and caption can influence our perception of a situation or person. The background images in this photo do a good job of placing focus on what's going on, and the caption describes what that situation is.
Good analysis of how this image gives you confidence in Obama's leadership abilities!
