Sure, politics is infotainment and who can tell anymore where DC ends and Hollywood begins. Still, I’ve was interested in this White House photo as much for the timing, as the content and composition.  What with Obama turning on the juice to turn out the mid-term vote, campaign narrative or not, it looks like his team is looking for every and any bit of wattage right now.

Given Obama’s star power, though, I am wondering exactly who’s basking how much in who’s glow?
