U.S. President George W. Bush (R) reaches out and pulls Chinese President Hu Jintao back by his suit jacket as the President of China prepared to walk down the wrong set of steps to leave the stage during the official South Lawn Arrival Ceremonies at the White House in Washington, April 20, 2006.

I understand he was trying to direct the Chinese President to the correct egress and maybe he knows the fellow a lot better than most. But would an "Excuse me, Mr President, this is the correct way..." been too much trouble to say?

That wasn't it at all. I was there and shot this photo. They just completed the ceremonial inspecting of the troops and Bush was leading the Chinese President to the VIP rope line where Chinese Embassy staffers were located before going back on stage to deliver remarks.
