Why is Obama grinning in this Ferguson briefing photo? Plus, key question for Pres. Photo Op

Look, guys. President Obama is super serious and stuff. There is even a purty picture! As Twitchy reported, the president was to be briefed on Ferguson today.

Pres Obama will also have lunch with VP Biden and then get an update on situation in Ferguson, MO from AG Holder. Cameras-only photo op.

@markknoller "I'm not interested in photo-ops"

Heh.

Obama's briefing with Holder on Ferguson is scheduled for 1:15PM tomorrow (with photo spray) in Oval. Would put $ on him speaking after.

Welp, you would have partially lost that wager, buddy.

CAMERAS ONLY. The WH is not allowing pool reporters into the today's photo ops at the WH. Ensures the President will get no questions.

Pres Obama offered no remarks during Oval Office photo op with Atty Gen Holder to discuss situation in Ferguson, MO. pic.twitter.com/QHqy0Ni5Hl

No remarks, natch. But Twitter users noticed something else disturbing:

@markknoller WTH is he SMILING about?

@RightGlockMom @markknoller Not exactly the right visual for #Ferguson briefing. Neither is his lack of a necktie in the oval office.

Wow. No words.

The president will now allegedly make a statement later today. Perhaps after he wipes the grin off his face?

POTUS will deliver a statement on #Ferguson and #Iraq in the WH Briefing Room at 4 p.m. EDT.

And an exit question we’d love the media to ask President Photo Op:
