There was a U.N. meeting at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on Wednesday, during which US President Barack Obama had to endure 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries.

ALL THE PHOTOS can be seen one-by-one on the State Department’s flikr page. Or, what you might prefer, and the reason for this post; is you can watch a video of all those pics compressed into 20 seconds.

The result? Barack Obama is pulling the exact same pose in every single photograph.

Freaky? Or cool? Depends which way you look at it, I suppose. Can’t really blame him – I mean, really – 130 pics in a row?

Personally, I wish I could find one set smiley pose that works. I get quite panicky before social pics. What am I going to do? The sexually charged open-mouth smile with slight tongue appearing on bottom lip? Or maybe this time we do the closed-mouth one-sided smirk? Or the old classic mid-talking pose?

Jesus, it’s a mine-field out there..
