I want to ask this seriously and see if I'm just imagining this or if anyone else is noticing the same thing. 

Is it just me or does there seem to be a pattern of news orgs using photos of Obama looking up, thus making it seem as if he's "looking down his nose" at everyone (read: elitist)?  Or am I misinterpreting them trying to portray him as a "dreamer, looking to the stars" or something hokey like that?

I find any effort to brand him as "elitist" ridiculous when you compare him to most of his opponents, past and present.

So am I imagining a pattern in the use of photos of him or not?
