Photoshots

Last week's meeting of President Obama with the world leaders in the Met in New York has gifted with some photos. Quite a lot, as everyone wanted to be on the photo with the coolest kid in the block and his wife. Sometimes it is just a reminder on how international politics are made.

Like this photo with Teodoro Obiang Nguema, the President of Ecuatorial Guinea. If you have oil, it doesn't matter how many human rights you don't respect.


Of course some of them are just hilarious. Like this one from the President of the Republic of The Gambia. Anyone can tell me what that guy has on his hands?

Others were such good photoshop material that had to be removed from the library. Like the one from President of Spain, José Luís Rodríguez Zapatero and family. Don't look for it in the general index; it was already removed:

While Zapatero's family might be frightening, other's families you'll love to invite to your house. Specially the daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Lao People's Democratic Republic. I want to believe she is over 18:

By the way, if all those guys had just made a couple of shots with two statues resembling the Obamas, no-one had noticed the difference. Both Michelle and Barack look almost the same in all the shots.

And having such tall hosts like the Obamas, it's funny how some guests appear really small. Like the President of the Republic of Nauru:

Or the President of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, who tries to hide the height difference with a hat (epic fail):

Of course, there is the opposite situation with the big Emir of the State of Qatar. In that jacket, can fit at least two Obamas.


Who said politics is boring?
