    I can see myself! I'm the one standing on the semi-circular thing, right above where the band is sitting. Right at the podium. See me? I'm the one talking into the microphones. :D
    ...Just ask me...

    Zoom in to the very top left of the picture. There's a woman about ten people from the left edge of the photo who is taking a picture of (it appears) the person taking this picture?!!!?

    My guess is that the photograph is an "official" one, done by either the FBI or CIA. You can't get that kind of definition from almost a half mile away from any camera I've ever seen! When the link was sent to me, it was purported to come from the FBI. I have no confirmation of that and pass it along for consideration.

    PS I sent this to a friend of mine who replied : "Did you notice Dr Strangelove in the wheel chair behind the President?" I almost fell over laughing when I realized who it was!
