    I think HuffPo is mock trolling, eg, spreading the photo of Obama because of its power symbolism under the pretense of Obama exhibiting a weakness. I’ve mentioned before that photos of the back of the head exhibit power. In this case, Merkel as Maria Von Trapp/Mother Nature beseeching the Benevolent Almighty. The hills are alive, with the photo of ‘his eminence’ holding court. And HuffPo gets to do it twice, once asking the question and then a second time to say no don’t think so. I sense forthcoming HuffPo exclusive, with photos.
