Marking the ballot for the guy who listens

In the New York Times photo, Obama is in the window seat of a helicopter hovering over a dry suburban Baghdad, David Petraeus in the seat next to him.  He is wearing shades, a white shirt open at the neck.  He is not wearing camo or a flight jacket and there's no sign that he's stuffed a sock in his crotch.  In both helicopter photos, he's listening and watching, not looking into the camera's eye. 

Hand me a ballot.  I'm voting for that guy.

In the photo of Obama meeting with the Prime Minister, the candidate is quietly dressed, relaxed and attentive.  Again, he's focusing on the man who's speaking to him, not posturing.

Hand me a ballot.  I'm voting for Obama.
