Over at the Lowy Institute's blog, The Interpreter, I found a link to a Boston Globe assembly of the 50 best news photographs of the decade.

I've added the photo above as a reminder of the "hope" that many people have for what President Obama can deliver in the next decade.

These photos are really fantastic and are worth at least 50,000 words.

The hanging chads photo makes one wonder how much different the decade could have been...

And it is amazing how many of these photos would never have been taken were it not for the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Doesn't the decade end next year?

The Obama picture above should be captioned: "Hmmm. How do I best go about screwing my base and treating them like garbage?" That photo and the caption would pretty much sum up this "hope and change" administration so far.
