I'd also love to hear you Caption that phone call - my caption is:
"Hey Mom! I'm scared and don't know what to do!"
It just looks bare to me, I'm sure next week the desk will be full of photos, papers and little statues ect, and with the non-empty desk be will not seem as puny as you put it. Also it is a pretty darn wide angle shot, which only makes it look even punyer.

"No really, there's a bowling alley in the basement!"
anyhoo, I actually saw a news spot where they showed Obama's office and McCain's office, and while McCain's was a veritable flea market, Obama's was almost without ornament. He apparently tends to go for having a cleaner, more professional looking space. Not really good or bad, it just seems to be his method.

as to the punyness, it's because he's so thin, and honestly, we haven't had a really thin president in a long time. Carter didn't weigh in all that much, but he was very broadly built. I think you'd have to go back to Lincoln to get the last time we had a really scrawny president

Caption:
"Excuse me, Ms. Jones, do I have to dial 9 to get an outside line?"
I wouldn't say he looks puny, but the picture just seems to be taken from far back. It seems like a wide angle lens was used (I'm no photographer so I don't really know) but it just appears that he's such a long way away.
Most of the pictures I remember seeing of Bush at that desk were closer up to him.
The picture seems to have a lot of wasted background.
