  • The image is not in Obama's article, but in the gymnasts. This shows her meeting the president, which is generally a decent indication of national recognition (especially when the president copies your signature move!) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fine to include it in McKayla Maroney, but I don't think it's appropriate for TFP. Sca (talk) 15:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with User:J Milburn. Practically any photo of a sitting president (with practically anyone else) emphasizes that person. This pic, basically a PR shot, is just too cute — "twee" indeed.
