You know the one. This one from the White House Situation Room. I'm fascinated by it. The two points that draw me in: Hillary's hand over her mouth. Obama's intensity. Then, I see Biden on the left, and Gates on the right. Then, what is the guy doing on his laptop? (Brigadier General Marshall Webb, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman)
It's interesting that Hillary is the one in the sharpest focus. Everyone is in suits/button up shirts except Obama. He's in a polo and a casual jacket. And he's hunched in the corner. Not up at the table. You wouldn't think he's the one in charge. But he is. Wow.
You can see a few more photos from that day on the White House Flickr pool. I'm dismayed that they only allow news organizations to reuse the photos. The taxpayers paid for them, so we ought to be able to use them. On a lighter note, love this photo of Michelle and Jill (Biden) hamming it up.

That's pretty intense.
