Summer of silliness: Obama and the ogling freeze frame

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 10, 2009 12:06 PM

When President Obama bowed and scraped before the Saudi king, I gave it to him.

And he deserved it.

But the tizzy over the “ogling” photo is unfair.

I just watched the video and it’s clear to me he wasn’t even paying attention to the young girl in the wine-colored dress. Obama was helping another young woman down the stairs and glancing down to grab her hand. You can see him talking to the young woman (black sweater, printed skirt) while the supposed temptress made her way up in the other direction.

I don’t even think he saw the young girl he’s accused of checking out.

Sarkozy is another story.

Now, can we get back to Obama ogling and molesting our wallets?

I know, I know. There’s another shot of him supposedly checking out another woman’s backside. Guess what? I think it’s out of context, too.

    Having looked at the video, I would say he probably DID look at the girl’s bee-hind. Ogle-gate continues.

    Hmm he seemed to luck out when the other female reached for his hand. He was looking.

    Maybe it was an unfair snapshot, but who could blame Obama. I mean, Michelle must be as tyrannical as Hillary to have to wake up to every day. Almost makes me feel for Barack. Almost. Obama’s still a minister of evil in my book.

    Reports state that world leaders are glad Odumbo is at the G-8 summit rather than George Bush. Well why not–He makes them look so damn good. Besides, most of them are socialists and pacifists–birds of a feather. Oh–and he represents Catholics more than the Pope. Guess it’s going to be Odumbo on a rope now. God save us all.

    Unfortunately he represents the office of the presidency. I prefer President Bush’s dignity and never wavering from protecting the integrity of the office of the presidency. Noticing is one thing, gawking is another. Anyway, I despise the SOB for EVERYTHING he does.

    Haha! That’s what my father told my bride-to-be the day before we got married–that just because I was getting merried didn’t mean I was dead. I have to admit that occassionally an attractive woman does cross thru my field of vision and it’s not my fault if I see her–and that’s as much as I’ll ever admit!!! =)

    The cring in that situation is the sign of a good man (IMEO)…too many grown men today don’t care about a girl’s age (emphasis on the word girl).

    He was looking down at her butt before he took that woman’s hand. I’m sure MO has already wacked him one for it.

    Sarkozy is French–he is definitely going to notice a good looking lady going by.
    ***
    President Obama (PBUH) seemed more intent on not falling on the steps–or in keeping the lady he was helping from falling. Those were pretty high steps.
    ***
    And as far as any man not noticing a good looking woman passing by–if you don’t notice it may be your first clue that you have just died!
    ***
    If the lady didn’t want to get noticed she could always put on a burka.

    He did look at her. I usually pretend as if I’m doing something else while stealing a look. That’s exactly what he did.

    OMG! Grow up, everyone. Watching the video makes it clear he was talking to the black woman next to him and turned to help her down the steps and waited to offer her his hand. I’m no Obamabot but the video is extraordinarily clear about this.

    Sarkozy was definitely looking though! He even had to bend around Obama to get a better look! That’s too funny!

    Whether it be the male president of the United States of America, or a CEO at GM, or a surgeon, or a carpenter, or a truck driver, or teacher, or gardner, or whatever, there is NOTHING wrong with looking, or noticing, a beautiful, or attractive woman.

    For cryin’ out loud!

    Are men supposed to act like homosexuals every time they see an attractive woman?

    “Oooo! Yuuuccckkk! That is a female’s shapely rear end! That makes me sick. I can’t look! Yuuuucckkk!”

    Come on!

    Men, even married men, notice a pretty woman, and attractive shapeliness of a woman. It is normal.

    A glance is not a crime.

    If they don’t stand there and stare, or start stalking the woman like a regular perv, what’s the harm?

    Move on!

    Next!
