The way the men are walking make them look strong and confident. The American flag gives us a happy feeling and the men with binoculars make us feel safe. 
This picture definitely gives us a more confidence in the president's ability to lead because he is doing something and looks in control of the situation and the caption depicts him this way.
I wonder what exactly they are doing.  I doubt the topic during this picture is the oil spill. They probably cracked some joke about smiling for the camera. It looks a little staged.

Reaction
This photo gives us a feel of concern because of the look on his face and the corresponding caption. 
Compared to the other photo I have less confidence in the president's ability to lead when looking at this photo.  Obama is human and looks distraught.  He is is sitting in his office thinking instead of taking action.
Somewhat similar to the other photo, I wonder if the oil spill was actually the topic of discussion when this picture was taken. He looks like he was reading at his desk and is irritated because a photographer snapped his picture.
