1. Based on what you have observed list three things you might infer from the photograph. 

• The President seems to be in deep thought/concentration
• He is concerned
• Wondering about what is next to come

2. Read the article title and photo caption.

3. What questions do the caption and article title raise in your mind?

•  Is the severity of the the gulf spill on the same level of the hostage crisis?

• Are people implying that Obama will suffer the same fate as Carter?

•  If so, can he bounce back from this effectively?

4. Which picture gives you more confidence in the presidents leadership abilities? Why?

I would say this one because although this picture has a negative connotation attached to it it shows that he is concerned and does care about our country, I would be more concerned if he were smiling and jovial while this predicament was happening. 

5. Do you think the editors of these news papers have a liberal or conservative bias? Why? How could you find out? I would say this paper is on a conservative bias because they are attempting to voice their opinion on a Democrat president and then compare a downfall of his to one of another Democrat president.
