Make no mistake, it was a stage managed photo op to ensure he looked like a "leader," with those below him reporting in. What a ludicrous waste of time, and he just stood there nodding. Yeah, that's how government works -- men gather in a hanger and talk to one another in a semi-circle with tons of cameras focussed on him. We were all so enlightened.
