Obama Analysis

In this picture, President Obama speaks in Mississippi about the BP oil spill that occurred recently in Gulfport. As the leader of this country, it is important and his duty to meet with officials, like the national incident commander, to quickly solve the issue of the environmental disaster.
What do I see? I see the President Barack Obama and the national incident leader discussing the Mississippi oil spill in Gulfport. Behind the two men are maps displaying the distance and intensity of the oil spill as well as men trying to work on cleaning up the spill. The president at the moment of the picture being taken was speaking to his audience while using his hands as nonverbal gestures while the national incident commander listening beside him, making eye contact. I also see the American flag in the background that shows our patriotism and respect towards our country. Both men are older, one man is white while the president is black.
What does this mean? The point in this picture is to show that the president and officials are attempting to reach a solution and quickly resolve the problem of the environmental disaster before more harm is done. The photo is spontaneous because it was taken while the president was speaking and was not posing for the camera. The president probably knew his picture was taken but he was not posing like he was discussing the issue, he was honestly speaking to the audience. This article brings up the question of what exactly the president's plan is about fixing the problem and how quickly will we see this plan go into action? If a new caption was written it could completely change the meaning of this picture and quite possibly the views about the president.
