The pictures in these articles are so different and they directed towards portraying a certain image of this situation based on their writing. The first picture shows Obama upbeat with others ready to fight the crisis. The picture is also taken from a distance in the first picture, his body language is confident and the angle of the picture lets you see a broad view of the scene. All these things lead to the message the author wants to get across. In the first article and picture they want to focus on Obama being strong and fighting the battle with plenty of help, they all look confident and ready to work. The camera angle and distance let you know that this just isn't Obama's problem and Obama alone won't be able to fix the problem.

The Second picture portrays Obama distressed and he is the only one in the picture. The angle is looking down on him and his body language isn't confident. In this picture they use all of the same techniques as the first to get the point of their article across. They are trying to portray that this is just Obama's problem and he alone has to fix it for his future success. Him being alone in the picture stresses that along with the facial expressions and body language of the photograph. They are trying to isolate Obama in this picture to get their point across.
