Obama, reaching. Always reaching. But what more is there left to reach for?
A Close Reading Of Barack Obama Typing
President Obama is answering questions on Twitter right now. This is a photo of him typing, by official White House photographer Pete Souza. Let's look closer. Much closer.

Doesn't Obama seem like he's sitting too far back, like he's reaching? Stretching outward and ahead, reaching for something more? Perhaps this moment, more than any other in his entire presidency, is a metaphor for his entire life? Obama, reaching. Always reaching. But what more is there left to reach for?
