'Read & Weep'
In an email slugged 'Read & Weep,' Reader No. 1 points to a column by the WSJ's Dan Henninger, who lectures Obama about getting caught in a photo smiling with a dictator. Dan's tale of how WSJ editors once avoided getting photographed with Ferdinand Marcos got me to thinking of another president who got caught in a photo smiling with a dictator. The result of a quick Google search is at the right. (Note: I originally used an even better smiling-with-dictator photo in this post, but replaced it due to copyright concerns.) ... More photos of presidents with dictators here and here. ...
