Look closely at that picture. You should see Bill Clinton. He is in the background. See him? I do.

I was trying to figure out why he was there until I realized Gates had a decent looking wife.

 I don't think Clinton's paying attention to Bill right now...his mind is most likely elsewhere.

I've noticed a good number of photos in the paper looking purposefully ugly. The mouth wide open, them looking like they aren't paying attention, etc.

Well either way at the event where the picture was taken he donated 500 million yet they still made him come off like Hitler.

Hmm, yeah, weird that they had to choose this picture - I'm pretty sure that they had quite a few more.
It doesn't remind me of Hitler though but I understand why many would make this connection.

Walk out into any public space and make that hand gesture and you'll see how many people quickly make the connection.

I didn't have the heart to put the swastika in there. I also forgot to stick the flying cabbage in. Ah well.

It certainly didn't come out well, but in a sense, it reflects his casual manner.

I really don't like the pics from when Bill Gates was a model, but I do like how in the first pic you can see a Mac.

Cabbage, One Ring, Gollum Gates, and a narcissistic ... "wallpaper." What else could we add?

In spite of his fame and fortune, to me he's still a little man, with a huge ego, who has a lot of growing up to do. He's neither a good role model nor an honest man nor a visionary (see his past ludicrous quotes for that) or even one of the great programmers, as some misinformed people seem to think he is.
He's just a rich, nerdy businessman who knows how to exploit others and others' ideas to get himself ahead economically. And what he does now with his ill-gotten fortune doesn't change that, unless he really changes his whole ideology around, which there hasn't been any concrete sign of.
He's not a(s bad as a) Hitler, though he is definitely interested in another type of world domination.

Surprisingly, many "celebrities" get snapped in that position. I did a little montage earlier this year when Stephen Harper got elected as the Prime minister of Canada.
The guy on the left is John "Jean" Charest, who have been the leader of the Conservative party a few years ago, and who is now the Prime minister of Québec with the Liberal party. The two others are a little bit more known
