Every Obama picture seems so staged, and you must be kidding yourself if you think he doesn't have a social media team making sure his public image is always on point.
I don't even know what teleprompter statement your talking about, as I haven't been paying that much attention to this Charlottesville situation. I'm just talking about his tweets in general, which are embarrassingly unthought-out. For better or worse, we all know what's really going on in his mind. He's not going to pose for a cute picture the same day he's ordering another drone strike.
Personally, I don't need emotional statements, but I see how people do. Like I said, I don't care for either. It's just an interesting dichotomy.

It's not hard to get a photo of babies at a daycare, nor is it hard to find one with more than one race in it, given that area is diverse. Nor would it be hard to find at least one photo of children of different races together after 8 years. Obama's photographer Pete Souza is very good at his job at capturing moments of Obama interacting with people at a large variety of locations, a lot of it shot documentary street photography style. Obama wanted to tweet a message of unity, the same message Dr King gave in his I Have a Dream Speech, and the best way to do that, to get that point across, is with photos of children. I don't know that Obama has an image team, maybe he does, but he seems to be intelligent enough over his long career, to have curated his own image, well before he became the President. He is very self aware. But one thing is for certain: Trump not only needs a social media team, he needs the self awareness to listen to them.
