PBO towers over Putin who is maybe 5'9" or so. Because of that Putin tried to never be photographed next to Obama since he didn't want the Russians to see him so short compared to the American President. In most news photos Putin is always looking forward, not up, but CBS News caught him looking up temporarily. Great pic!
