| #11 In the pantheon Narcissus was a handsome young man who fell in love with his own reflection he saw in a brook after rejecting many paramours that he tired of and then killed himself A flower then grew on the spot where he died and that is the Narcissus. |

| #10 He does look worried. Pro'lly just making sure he still casts a reflection as he drains the economy of its lifeblood. |

| #6 The White House thought the photo was memorable cause Obama spends several hours a day doing that. |

| #5 It looks fake from an optics POV to me. To get that image in the mirror he should be standing further to the right. Or the mirror is rotated away from the wall. Anyone else see it that way? |

| #2 In the pantheon Narcissus was a handsome young man who fell in love with his own reflection he saw in a brook after rejecting many paramours that he tired of and then killed himself. Seeing Obama looking at his own reflection is as one commenter fittingly put it, beyond parody. |

| #1 I don't see whats so strange here the image has some minor artistic value - shows proportion, alignment, symmetry |
