Locked In

President George W. Bush gave reporters something to write about after a joint press conference with Chinese President Hu Jintao on November 20 at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. After the press conference, Bush marched gallantly to the exit and and pulled the door, but the door wouldn`t open (photo 1). Bush gave a flustered expression to journalists (picture 2) and after a few seconds, one of his aides found an exit for him (picture 3). Bush then left the press room, waving at the press (picture 4).
