Pictures of the Week: Jan. 26 - Feb. 1

I decided to include the photograph of Hillary Clinton shaking hands with Sen. Edward Kennedy prior to the delivery of the State of the Union by president Bush because of the discussion that the moment sparked.



Did Barack Obama "snub" Hillary Rodham Clinton or was he merely turning away to talk to Sen. Claire McCaskill instead? Would this have mattered had Sen. Kennedy not endorsed Barack Obama earlier in the day? Outside of this controversy, I'm not sure that I would have chosen this image. It is the controversy that makes it a "Picture of the Week." In fact, had the controversy not erupted, I would have included a far different image from the State of the Union speech.



President Bush winks to a member of the audience prior to delivering his State of the Union address, Monday, Jan. 28, 2008, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Take a look at all of this week's Pictures of the Week gallery-worthy moments and vote for the one you think is most compelling.
