  • According to White House photographer Pete Souza, Obama, Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton purposely gestured this way so he wouldn't capture the fact that Clinton had just dropped a stack of papers on the floor. "This is one of those rare instances where my presence indirectly became a part of this reaction from those pictured in the photograph," Souza said.
