What does this photo say to you?

Glenn Reynolds from Instapundit found this picture of Obama and Biden on the White House Flickr page. It is starting to make the rounds on the blogosphere. Those on the left find nothing wrong with the picture and some think it is cool. On the right, much analysis is going on.

Personally, as a photographer this shot would have been in my discard pile. The reduced size image makes Obama look sleepy or worse yet, tipsy (Obama's eyes are open in high resolution version below). Sleepy or tipsy looking images of the president should be an automatic red flag to discard the image for any photographer. 

Even the high resolution version leaves much to be desired.  Obama looks like he has contempt for Biden (given Joe "The Gaff Machine" Biden's  performance this year, that maybe a possibility). This again reminds me of how this administration seems to have become oblivious to the images they project to the public. Once again White House, image counts.

               

What does the image say to you guys? Do you have any clever captions?
