Thought bubbles above heads could be used here.. Perhaps Obama was questioning in his mind how to energize the once great American economy again to build things instead of just buy things, to create items instead of simply search for cheap plastic.. And maybe he was wondering how, in the future, America would be able to exist in a world where its manufacturing base has been outsourced to a nation that is still sketchy at best on human rights, puts bloggers in jail for speaking out against the government, and has long work days for people make next to nothing in factories that produce items the world is happily consuming.

Maybe he was thinking that.

But it’s a little too large for a thought bubble.
