Obama, Bush-era photos paint different pictures Posted at 10:53 AM ET, 01/14/2013 Sometimes photos tell the story, sometimes not. But our colleague Karen Tumulty noted a contrast in these two images that might raise eyebrows. The first is a picture on 9/11 of Vice President Dick Cheney on the phone in the White House situation room - perhaps talking with President Bush - with several top aides standing by, including three women: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Bush senior adviser Karen Hughes and senior Cheney adviser Mary Matalin. There are also two African Americans in the small group.

There's one woman at the table, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and another woman in the doorway, Audrey Tomason, director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council. There's only one African American. The White House - Getty Images
