I don’t think so, personally….first off, I’ve seen lots better and that one wouldn’t have made me turn my head.
What I do find rather amusing is the way the American MSM is trying so hard to defend Obama on this – as if it really matters. But they are determined to protect their man – even from the rather common male act of being distracted by an attractive female form. Now, as for me, I routinely assure my wife when we’re walking through a casino that the “stacked” waitress in the skimpy outfit did not distract my full attention from my devotion to my wife…for which statement I’m likely going to have to spend some time in Purgatory.
UPDATE, by Matt Margolis: When Obama’s not staring at a minor’s rear, he’s bashing and apologizing for the United States again…

If he did look at this woman, it just proves that he is just another human male and his sexuality is normal. It’s the lingering gaze that’s potential trouble for a married man. This does not make him another Bill Cliton.
Play the video. He was checking his own footing before helping another young woman. Even Van Susteren on Fox LAST NIGHT agreed the Freepers and others went overboard at the photo.
Nothing about 96 000 USD that John Ensign’s dad paid his adulterous lover? Pish posh!
marklookelou
your comments read as if they aren’t really about the msm defense of obama
seemed to be a terrestrial smoke screen for his “visual behavior”
you didn’t like it
but do it yourself
cosmically confused again….?????
Cool it with the USD crap, OK? You are not a Brit, and this phony Euro-posturing is tiresome. Bloody bloody hell old sod.
And just how does anything about anyone else in the UNIVERSE have anythng to do with this thread?
It does look like Barry is checking out the chick, and it’s a funny photo, but as Mark and faattotheright said, who cares if he IS? At least he would be checking out a girl.
I’ve been a happily married man for 34 years, and I still “checkout” attractive women. I’m not dead and it certainly hasn’t caused me to stray. It’s called being normal.
would bush have gotten the same defense from ABC?
for the record, i don’t think he even saw the young women, but even if he did glance at her so what? but the picture looks like he is checking her out big time. shows you how a still photograph can be taken out of context. just remember that libs…
He was checking his footing by looking at a 16 year old girl’s ass? Oh puhleeze! European newspapers are having a field day with this. They are laughing at Obama. Again. And none of you guys that blog here are the President. If perving some teenage girl is normal, you guys need help and a real man card.
Anyone remember when Bush gave Merckel that 5 second shoulder massage? The MSM went ballistic calling Bush everything from a woman abuser to a court jesster. But they give OBUMa a pass.
Obama proves you can take a thug out of trashy Chicago, but you can’t take the trash out of thug.
Obama proves you can take a thug out of trashy Chicago, but you can’t take the trash out of thug…uffy
——————————————————-
Sounds as if you are channeling fmrmarine, uffy.
What’s the big deal? The President checked out an attractive female, so what? Bush put his hands on Merckel; there is a difference.
Interesting to watch the actual footage that this still frame is taken from. The still frame is taken at just the right point in Obama’s turning to offer his arm to the woman on his left and one step above him. If you watch the video he doesn’t even NOTICE the woman the still makes him appear to ogle.
The Euro papers interested in this seem to be ones like the UK’s Mirror and Sun – owned by Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, and somewhat infamous in the UK for being less than reputable with the photos they use.
CO, you were not too nutsy til you got to the end. So you find no difference whatsoever between a mid-40’s married man ogling a teenage girl and mid-50’s married man engaging in non-sexual physical contact with a woman his own age?
Obama may or may not have been ogling a teenage girl—and it doesn’t matter to me. What does get my attention is that YOU, and your fellow trolls, are trying to use this to smear Bush, and to claim that an obviously innocent nonsexual act was somehow worse than being a dirty old man.
BTW, how do you feel about the Michelle massage of the Queen? You know, the little verboten backrub-hug unsolicited and against all protocol?
CONSPIRACY ALERT!! CONSPIRACY ALERT! Foxy has found yet another vast right-wing conspiracy.
Get a life.
@Amazona: Rupert Murdoch isn’t even American (he’s Australian) – he’s got his own agenda, right now it happens to agree with the Republicans in the US. Several times in the UK he’s changed his mind about whether he approves of Labour or the Conservatives. Each time there’s a noticeable change of reporting in Mirror Group Newspapers.
But really, when it comes to this picture – it’s another non-story on a day when there are plenty more important stories about Republicans in trouble, such as the revelation that Sarah Palin was ordered to use the “pals around with terrorists” line and then hung out to dry for it when there was a popularity backlash.
But hey, let’s not let facts get too deeply reported in this blog…
Nothing about the very cordial meeting between Obama and Benedict XVI, either. Hmmm.
amazona,
This time I agree with you. First cares whether he checked out the girls butt. Second, what does that have to do with Bush.
Both incidents are being blown way out of proportion.
CO: I don’t channel anyone. Unlike you, I am my own person. No one owns me and that includes the govt. Don’t ever ASSume anything about me again.
Merkel is a woman, Bush didn’t check out her ass. Obama perved a 16yo teenage girl. BIG difference!
The Italian newspapers, the Russian newspaper, the French newspapers, the Spanish newspapers all laughing at Obama. As I said, the European press are having a field day with Obama’s continued embarrassing Presidency. Not to mention Michelle’s hooker look fashion. This trashy couple needs to go back to Chicago for good and stay there.
uffy,
I’m just curious how glancing at someone with a nice body (male or female) is perverted? My wife checks out guys all the time. Personally, I’m much more interested in females. As for the age, 16 is old enough to get married in a lot of countries, so what is the big deal?
casper,
My wife doesn’t check out other guys…or, so she tells me, and who am I to dispute this?
AF,
You’ve apparently not been around guys very much if you can’t figure out the dodges we’ll use to take a glance when we’re not supposed to.
Lead,
I’ve called on Ensign to resign – you want me to do it, again? The Ensign issue is finished for me…if he hangs around, he’ll just make matters worse, if he leaves, he’ll back on his path towards doing the right thing. Its out of our hands.
“My wife doesn’t check out other guys…or, so she tells me, and who am I to dispute this?”
I’m guessing your wife lies (please don’t ban me for saying that). I’ve worked with a lot of women since I became a teacher. At one point, I was the only male teacher at an elementary school. Many of my best friends are women. I know from what I’ve heard and been told, that women check out men as much as men check out women. Personally, I don’t have a problem with people checking each other out, as long as it doesn’t lead to anything inappropriate.
I ran into a former student yesterday at lunch. I told her she has turned into a beautiful young lady (which she has). Was that wrong? My wife didn’t think so, and as far as I could tell neither did the young lady. We spend a lot of time trying to look good for the opposite sex. Is it wrong if someone of the opposite sex notices?
What don’t you understand about being PRESIDENTIAL? Next you will think it will be okay for Michelle to ask to see the Pope’s dick.
The whole point is that the water carrying media are so eager to jump to his defense.
I mean who cares if he looks. But the media is all to eager to protect this guy no matter what, but in typical fashion if the person does not have a (D) next to their name watch out!
I know this will generate the usual mindless “conspiracy” responses from the lemming libs, but the truth hurts.
tiredoflibbs,
That’s it – the MSM are protecting their guy.
Casper,
Did you have a humor-ectomy?
tiredoflibbs,
“The whole point is that the water carrying media are so eager to jump to his defense.”
Defense of what? What did he do that was wrong? If someone came up with a picture of Palin “checking out” some guys butt, would you expect the media to “cover it up”. There was nothing to cover up.
“What don’t you understand about being PRESIDENTIAL?”
If he would have spent 60 seconds staring at the girls butt, you might have a case. As it was, it was at best a glance. How is that not presidential? I’m betting that if I wanted to go through all of the video taken of Bush (or any other politician), I could find a similar shot.
“Next you will think it will be okay for Michelle to ask to see the Pope’s dick.”
First, Michelle isn’t president, so even if she did, it wouldn’t be unpresidential. Second, I don’t sede any way you can equate the two actions.
“Casper,
Did you have a humor-ectomy?”
After checking over my body and finding no new scars, I’m guessing no.
Mark,
You start out by saying, “I don’t think so, personally…” and then you sneak this in, “When Obama’s not staring at a minor’s rear, he’s bashing and apologizing for the United States again…” thereby implying that he spends time staring at a minor’s rear. For someone who has called for a higher level of truthfulness you are finding a way to say something which you yourself have found not to have happened. If anything looks like false testimony, I would say that is it.
cam,
That was an error – Matt did the update and forgot to put his name on it. I don’t know for certain his opinion on ass-gate.
casper,
Then start laughing at how entirely funny this is.
:o)
Mark,
That is understandable. But ass-gate does the same. No?
cam,
I considered not using it – but it rolls off the tongue so well, and its quite funny. Just remember that you first saw the phrase here, if it becomes general.
The whole point is that the water carrying media are so eager to jump to his defense.
That’s it tired. The media has a lot at stake here, including their entire reputation. That literally are largely responsible for his election.
That being said, this was one of the first “real” moments of Obama’s presidency, and I got a chuckle from it. Everything else has been nothing more than staged puppetry.
“casper,
Then start laughing at how entirely funny this is.
:o)”
Ok. HA, HA ,HA HA, HA.
Mark,
And so you would sell your sell your soul for a few shekels of fame? Remember it was you that made this clarion call. If you hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t have noticed. I wouldn’t say anything about an ass-gate rolling off your tongue, unless that is what you’re into. Just wanted to give you the heads up before you step in that one.
Oh dear, poor ol’ Sarkozy. He was really absorbing the situation in! LOL!
Too funny!
they minimized clintons behavior too…its something the donkeyrats doo..and the msm is solidly donkeyrat…
cam,
Geesh, lighten up, already.
To be fair, Obama’s not the only one with a fondness for the posterior.
Seriously, it’s pretty easy to find that kind of picture.
