Interesting!

And Clinton looks stressed. Obama looks relaxed.

1. You DO know ...
They get to pick which pictures to post with any article. Those pictures tell us nothing about the candidates current state of mind. They could be months old.

2. You know what's funny?
The willingness to ASSOCIATE the pictures with the present day reality! It's a bit sad, too, but it's amusing.

I remember, years ago, before PHOTOSHOP, cheesy tabloids like The Enquirer or that Batboy Opus used to cut out pictures of people with blunt scissors and put them together in a crude attempt to suggest that it was a single photo!

3. what's funny to me
is that the pixs presented are the ones in my mind's eye. Of course these aren't casual representations.

how old are the two of you?

4. Oh my ... a bit defensive, eh?
Sad, resorting to a personal attack over a general statement of fact that neither attacked your candidate or defended any other. Get a grip.

5. I'm in AARP territory--that's why I remember those old tabloid covers before PhotoShop, see?
And while they may actually be "casual" representations, which photos that aren't formally posed in a studio generally are, they certainly aren't reactions by the candidates to the report offered by the news outlet.

How 'mature' are you, might we ask? It seems to be a point of importance to you, for some odd reason.
