Bush in photos

Here's a series of photos of Bush at various points in his Presidency, with commentary from the photo editors who used them. They were asked

. . .to pick the photographs of the president that they believe captured the character of the man and of his administration. There are overlapping pictures — of the president with a bullhorn at Ground Zero, of the president looking out the window of Air Force One over New Orleans, of the president receiving the news on the morning of 9/11. It is interesting that these pictures are different. They may be of the same scene, but they have different content. They speak in a different way.

They really are interesting. We've seen many of them, but reading what the editors say about their choices makes them even more so.
