Today’s Strange News Photo of the Day is of Pres. Obama being pointed at by a woman in the crowd at a campaign stop for MA attorney general Martha Coakley.

WHY SO STRANGE? While the news photo is a unique angle of a politician interacting with the masses at a political event, it strangely raises more questions than it answers. Why is this unidentified lady pointing at the President? She doesn’t seem to be blaming him for anything because she is smiling while pointing, so maybe she’s just giving Obama props? (“You’re the man, Mr. President!”)

Or maybe she’s just not too sharp and this photo captured her realizing, “I know you! You’re that president guy!”

And no, this lady is not comedienne Wanda Sykes, although that would probably answer all of our questions about what’s going on here.

This Veterans’ Day, let’s take a minute to show our gratitude for all of the brave men and women who have fought and are fighting for our country.

War is very much used as a talking point by politicians and talking heads these days. And while we, as Americans, do have to find a way to resolve two wars that we are currently trapped in, I’d like to put those issues aside today to offer thanks to those who offer their lives in the name of OUR freedom.

Remember those who gave their lives so that we may be free.

Let’s hope that President Obama uses today to reflect on making the correct choice in dealing with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He didn’t get us into them, but let’s hope he can find the best way of getting us out of them.

ALSO: In case you were wondering, the American war I find most interesting is the Revolutionary War. It got this country started, afterall.
