1. I hope he doesn't look too goofy in the fucking helmet and body armor.

I looked like a complete idiot. That shit doesn't look good on skinny people.

9. Now there's a problem I'd like to have!

It would be totally awesome to look like a complete idiot in a fucking helmet and body armor because I was too skinny.

2. I think this is a no brainer.

I get a sneaking suspicion that most of the troops really do like him, no matter how gung-ho reich wing they pretend to be.

3. Don't pull a Dukakis

That would probably not be a good photo op.

4. Obama comforting a child from any war torn or devastated area

The crowds I think are a given. It will be him reaching out to someone that hits home the hardest IMHO

5. A shot of him with Iraqi civilians AND some American soldiers.

We are all human beings. Ok, Cheney is an exception.

The inclusion of a couple soldiers would make the photo op less likely to be a target of pandering accusations.

7. Other: all of the above? I wish. Sadly, though, I can't pick just one.

10. Call me cynical

The image that will get the most media play in the U.S. is the ONE the media scumbags are able to dig up that makes Obama look vaguely foolish -- a strange expression, for instance. And they will be digging very hard, especially the pigs at FOX, to find something that "looks un-American."
