    Default Fantastic article about Bush's photos

    Mirror, Mirror on the Wall - Errol Morris Blog - NYTimes.com

    It's a very interesting read and goes over some of the most iconic and historic photos of President Bush. I ask that there not be a discussion of anything except the article and the pictures. Otherwise, please enjoy.

    The amazing thing about this set of photos is that you can't hide the fact that this is a human being with enormous responsibility on his shoulders. No matter how I felt about Bush as a president, these pictures tell me that I didn't know him as a person (not news to me but an interesting effect of the photos).

    Being the President must be a lonely job in many respects.

    Thanks so much for sharing this!
