House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and House Speaker John Boehner (Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP)
Click! This photo speaks louder than words.
The snap of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., seemed to say it all, about the emotions surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Obama's health care law--even though the photo was taken the day before and had nothing to do with the health care news.
The quirky picture was first surfaced by the Atlantic's Molly Ball, who tweeted it on Thursday afternoon, the day after it was snapped.
The photo quickly caught the attention of the Web. The Washington Post even held a caption contest.
The image, taken on Wednesday by a sharp-eyed Associated Press photographer at an event honoring members of the Montford Point Marines, seemed to express the partisan mood of the country.
Pelosi looks joyful; Boehner looks like a child who has had his toys taken away from him. Or maybe just a man sentenced to eating a lot of broccoli.
Comments like these on the photo were typical. Wrote @comancheblood: "… boehner about to cry." @SovernNation added, "Way more than 1000 words! Sums up #SCOTUS reax perfectly."
Indeed Pelosi was thrilled by the decision, tweeting, "Victory for the American people!" Boehner, for his part, vowed to repeal the law.

A Picture is worth 1,000 Words
Mr. Boehner, House Speaker, displays a face of total dissatisfaction and total discontent over "something", but what seems to fit this picture is the disposition of the entire republican party over President Obama's huge win over the health care ruling by the supreme court the next day.
However, Boehner happen to be at the celebrating of the Montford Point Marines, the first black marine company of Marines.
Yet, the picture seems to reflect Boehner's disposition over both instances, the fact that he is being forced to celebrate anything black associated, and the fact that a black president won a huge victory over the entire republican party's machine of doom and gloom.
Nancy Pelosi, a democrats democrat, seems to be enjoying herself, which also reflects the feelings of "most" democrats in the nation, and I say most because there still exists a fraction of the democrats who do not like Obama, and would rather have Romney as President, just to get Obama out.... can you say WV Democrats.
A Picture is worth a 1,000 words, and Boehner's picture is a representation go the disposition of the entire republican party since President Obama entered office, and in my opinion, it's this disposition that is Anti American.
What makes a human being work so hard against the country that he swears that he loves with his entire being?
The Entire Republican Party support every action by former President Bush, which brought this country to its knees, and rather than backing any President other than Bush, in a effort to get this country back in good standings, the entire republican party has done everything possible to undermine President Obama and this country and Boehner's facial expression meets the disposition of the entire Republican Party, a disposition that has done nothing but harm this country for the past 3.5 years.
TREASON can describe some of the republican's actions over the past 3.5 years.
There is a reason why only 24% of all Americans are claiming to be Republicans, and those numbers will be less than 20% in 2016, which will continue that path of diminishing numbers based on the countries demographical growth.
Once the largest group of Americans, is now the smallest group and shrinking.
