Oh, I think your point is getting through. I still maintain, however, that image was probably selected from the limited choice on someecards (as opposed to all the possible images in the world, or a new drawing) solely because the woman has her arm raised. I highly doubt "lisasubeck" thought through it any farther than that. In and of itself, that lack of thought is a problem. As you say, it undermines any gravitas the author may have intended by sending a completely different one with the image.

Interetingly, I went to Obama's Tumblr last night and couldn't find this post. I think it's been removed.
