Two Different Presidents
Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Henry Louis Gates, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Robert Byrd
Thomas Lifson thinks the photo of Sergeant James Crowley helping Henry Louis Gates Jr down the White House steps toward that rose garden beer summit, while Barack Obama strides blissfully ahead tells us a lot about Obama.
It certainly makes an effective contrast to the other photo of President Bush assisting Senator Robert Byrd.
