yes, I realize it's a state-owned and controlled publication. And to Flint:

LOOK!

(Flint looks around. Cloud gooses Flint and dances away!)

Flint · 09-18-2010, 10:54 PM

I let you do that on purpose.

Cloud · 09-18-2010, 11:09 PM

<fun!>

and you're right, btw

I think this should never have come up. I think our Prez was being a callous a-hole, a clueless noob, or an egotistical dork, in the first picture.

The entire negotiations are about people working together to solve very tough issues. Him parading along like the "leader" with a bunch of servants following along was a very poor way to reinforce the entire "working together" aspect. It was bound to cause exactly these types of petty distractions.

You don't herd cats, you have to lead them.

Spuck, it's actually orchestrated to be that way! They figure out who will walk where so there won't be any confusion if Mubarak walks first.

Yes.

This is far from being a new phenomenon. Been going on for decades.

classicman · 09-20-2010, 07:54 AM

Oh, its ok then. To me its another subtle way the media shapes the information we get.

I'm sure that the state department sets it up that way, not Obama or the media. As the leader of the host country, Obama should lead the way. But really, it's Bush's fault.

The subconscious perception is that the person in front is more important than everyone else...after all, *they* aren't first. That's going to be pretty unacceptable in many countries.

spudcon · 09-20-2010, 08:33 PM

Actually, who cares? They all look like a bag of crooks anyway. Damn politicians.

Pico and ME · 09-20-2010, 10:31 PM

lol...that was funny

Happy Monkey · 09-21-2010, 11:58 AM

Doesn't host country always go first?

I can't see everyone walking abreast. It would look like a chorus line.
