The rest of the "Obama hugging woman" photo says more than the most seen portion.

We've all seen the picture of Obama playing "comforter in chief" with the New Jersey woman who was devastated by Hurricane Sandy.

But how many people have seen the uncropped photo taken seconds later? That photo, to me, says even more than the one that's gotten all the press. Here it is, in full:

The look on Governor Christie's face is priceless. I wonder what he's thinking?

Is he trying desperately hard not to look at the woman?

Is he beginning to realize how disastrous his party's policies have been?

Is he ashamed upon seeing how a real leader operates?

Is he having an epiphany about how wrong he's been politically all his life?

Is he, the leader of partisan witch-hunts while a Prosecutor for Karl Rove for years, coming to terms with the idea that there's more to governing than playing politics?

This photo shows better than most just what a difference there is between the Democratic philosophy of government and the Republican.

So the next time you want to pat Chris Christie on the back and try to welcome him into our party, remember this picture.

Just curious here. How many of you,

after serving on a jury, rush here to watch the fireworks when the results come back?

We need a direct alert to MIRT button.

Taking a crapshoot on a jury hiding what is an obvious right wing troll spewing Republican talking points before MIRT gets to look at them is too much of a chance. Some feel anything short of hate speech isn't "offensive" enough to hide.

An option to alert a low-post-count troll directly to the MIRT would be immensely helpful.

I'm right in the path of the storm!

Just saw the latest path projections for Hurricane Sandy.

The eye is projected to pass right over my house.

Wheeee. See you all after the electric and net is restored.

One part of hurricane preparedness people forget.

Fill your gas tank now.

If evacuation is ordered, you might have to drive for a while before you can get to a station that is open and has gas.

Also, this kind of thing is manna to the profiteers. Expect gas prices to jump 30 cents overnight in the Northeast by tomorrow afternoon. Filling up now means you're less likely to fall victim to scammers.
