The O Team Is Ready for Their Close-Ups

February 02, 2009 8:14 AM

The Obama Cabinet and White House pose for Vanity Fair's Annie Leibovitz.

See the photos HERE.

(Note to Sen. Tom Daschle, who later today will come before a closed-door meeting of the Senate Finance Committee to answer questions about the more than $140,000 in back taxes plus interest he paid last month: THIS SHOT MIGHT NOT capture the chastened mien I'd shoot for later today, were I you.)

people lay dying in Kentucky...Is this Obamas revenge for Ky not kowtowing to the likes of Obama?

Kentucky’s governor is praising the Obama
administration’s prompt reaction to the fierce wintry weather that slammed his state.

“They really hit the ground running,” said Steve Beshear, interviewed by CNN. “They’re working very hard to get all the equipment and supplies here that we need.”

Where is Hillary Clinton??
When I grew up on the 70's I heard a lot of Kissinger and thought may be he was a President. So did Madlena Albright, Colin Powel, even Condi Rice.

Any functional Office needs a very active Secretary. Is Hillary in Mars or she is not up to the job??????????????

Annie L has lost her touch, babies she can photograph...adults, not so much.

The picture is the Inverted Jenny of cabinet pictures- it will be valuable because all those people arent going to make it for another photo.

Also amusing is that the linked Vanity Fair web site has an article by Dee Dee Myers trying to make that case with a straight face that Obama "Is Obama the Most Famous Living Person Ever?"

I agree that Hillary looked great, too. I'd also like to add that there's a nice absence of Neocon stiffs.

TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT ON OBAMA FAILURE

Should Annie's assistants superimpose prison numbers over this gang or is that presumptuous considering how weak Congress has become.

When will the Justice Department look into last year's voter fraud and campaign finance fraud? Oh yeah, silly me, the inmates are now running the asylum.

Question ... Kids need people to look up to, and i rather they look up to politicians

Yes they do and Obama is making sure corrupt tax cheating politicians are ruining the country from within his cabinet.

Gunmen Kidnap American UN Official in Pakistan

Americans are dying out in the Mid-West.


Obama is still sipping champagne and watching the Superbowl and hiring crooks to the highest positions in this country.

frankly, i like it. Its about time that smart people become the cool people. Enough with celebrity worship. Kids need people to look up to, and i rather they look up to politicians than singers/actors/whatever else the titles are.

Hillary looks great.

HOLLYWOOD here they come. However I will say the picture of Mrs. Clinton was beautiful.
