Our new contest photo is from Drudge with the headline “Odd Couple” – “Tense.”
Here is my favorite paragraph from the Reuters report linked to by Drudge with the headline “Obama and Putin are odd couple at Beijing summit”:
When the summit opened in a sprawling convention centre at a lake outside Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping walked in with Obama and Putin, both unsmiling, on either side of him.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Putin was overheard saying in English in Obama’s general direction, referring to the ornate conference room.
“Yes,” Obama replied, coldly, according to journalists who witnessed the scene.
Well, at least they were talking and making nice-nice, but what were they thinking?
That is your mission — to go inside their brains and reveal their true thoughts. In addition, tell us what they really wanted to say aloud to each other besides this polite non-dialog, dialog.
Also, caption the photo because I know you can do better than Drudge with “Odd Couple” and “Tense.”
Here is my conversation entry:
Putin: “Ha ha ha ha.… loser.”
Obama whispers off to side: “Valerie, what I should I say?”
