The Situation Room (2011) – Pete Souza
In May 2011, then U.S. President Barack Obama gave the order to attack Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound. Although this picture didn’t show the raid, Pete Souza captured the moments the Chief Executive and his team watched the operation unfold.
What made this picture powerful is that there was no photo of bin Laden’s body, which served as the sole reminder of the event. Just have a look at how then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is covering her mouth. Recently, Obama and his wife Michelle were pictured attending Joe Biden’s inauguration.
