remember the WH Situation Room photo? The WaPo invited experts (body language, IT, etiquette, movie critic, etc) to do an indepth breakdown.

What strikes me the most about the photo is Obama himself. His face is so intense, he's not sitting in the president's chair, and he's totally withdrawn. He looks maybe a little scared.
