On the one hand, you have Politico’s Mike Allen, Bloomberg’s Margaret Carlson and the Atlantic’s Steve Clemons.
And on the other hand you have Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Valerie Jarrett, President Obama‘s right-hand woman.

It’s because the photo is a painful reminder that you’re being ruled over by grownups who take selfies like teenage girls at a sleepover.
