#1 And no one knows more about using photographs and images to deceive than does the MSM. See: Iraqi stringer fauxtography, Hezbollah / Lebanon fauxtography, Mohammed Al-Dura affair staged as an Israeli atrocity, Green helmet guy ghouls, etc.

#2 Oh for the love of ... I think the MSNBC news-critters are the most angry that the One being is poked fun at, by us feeelthy peasants. And isn't the picture all over the foreign press, as well?

One of the funniest and most vicious comments I saw was (and I am quoting from memory) was "Hey, at least it shows he is a red-blooded male ... and considering what he has to go home to...!"

#3 ...President Obama just went up a few notches in my eyes because checking that chick's butt out is the most HUMAN thing he's done since he took office. May be hope for him yet.

#5 "racist stereotype of an oversexed black man being a predator"

No, its a married guy checking out a nice ass in public, just like Sarkozy at the same time - Sarkozy was a bit better at it.

#6 I might be wondering if he didn't check it out.

My guess is that Obama and Sarkozy weren't the only ones checking it out.

#7 Sarkozy is French, of course he's better at it.

If the White House was smart, they'd just sigh, shrug their shoulders, and wink.

#9 16? Yikes. I've only seen the one photo from behind, and age is not apparent from that angle.

#10 Well, considering what he's got waiting for him at home, if Nicky was checking it out, that must've been one impressive ass.

#11 What MikeK said. For the first time I actually find myself in agreement with Obama. And the age is not obvious - nor even a problem as long as it's nothing more than an admiring look. Once again the media seems to have the problem - perhaps because they could not see any reason for the admiring look (hmmmm.)

#14 The girl is 16.

So? Sixteen year old girls these days are fully aware of what they are doing. Besides, no law against looking, and in France, it would not surprise me if the age of consent was 16.

I have no doubt that the young *lady* deliberately strolled by just to give the lads an opportunity.

The talking heads at MSNBC are unhinged. Their accusation reveals their inner thoughts. Liberals always reveal their inner beliefs by the manner in which they attack. To bad we don't take advantage of that.

#15 Sarkozy, and Obama are looking for the same reason I was admiring that, um, "angle".

We are men. Visual Animals. We're wired that way. (Well, most of us.)

As Mike K says, that's the most normal thing I've seen him do in office.

#16 My wife and I have a deal.
look all you want, touch and she'll break my hand. seems fair to me.

#17 So y'all wouldn't mind if it were your daughter being ogled by one of your colleagues from work?

And no, most sixteen year olds are not all that savvy about adult sexuality, no matter what the tv shows and movies may show, or the teens themselves may believe, in France as elsewhere. Just like you-all are not the ignorant, fat money-obsessed Ugly Americans so much of the world would like to think... again despite what films and television show.

#18 Several of us were on our way to lunch a few weeks ago when someone strolled across in front of the vehicle. Steve said, "That's someone's daughter." I felt a bit ashamed. Somebody grumbled.

Not Ed. He said, "She's not MY daughter!"

#19 tw, well...I don't have a daughter, but if I did, and some guy was checking out her butt....I wouldn't get that worked up over it.

Touching it, however, might earn the offender a visit to the ER.

Hey, most young girls will get similar attention if they aren't so scary they will chase off werewolves. That doesn't mean that the, um, admirer is gonna act on his, um, appreciation for God's handiwork....

I do think that some of the more rabid commentators at MSNBC would have preferred that President Obama was checking out a young male's posterior, however. I think it would have given certain ones there "hope". ;)

#20 it was no big deal....until:
1) the Obots/MSM said he wasn't looking when the pics and (IMHO) the vid clearly show it
2) They proclaimed Sarkozy was worse, when I think he was laughing at the O-shuffle's glance
3) We are all derided as ignorant racist losers for noting what was clearly demonstrated: he's a guy.

F*ck them and their lying agenda. It's become "a thing". I hope he caught a lamp upside the head from the Wookie when he got home

#21 Kelly: "...and having to deal with all those guys whistling at me and yelling at me 'Hey you cheap bimbo..."

Al: "sorry, pumpkin, we didn't know that was you..."

#22 I watched the video and it looked more like he was turning back to offer his hand to lady behind him, not to check out the chick in the dress. But hey maybe that was intent.
