Hey, I think it was more camera position and picture quality that drove the image. The truck was in Obama's lane...for the FP photo. The shot with all of the front line pictured (including Bush) was centered on the bridge.The idea was to put Obama in the exact center of the photo. Had they been able to airbrush in a halo...we'd have seen Jesus leading the march.
Umm... who represents more national importance to any photo than the country's President?
I'm just wondering which one (Bush or Obama) first removed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves.
