    I agree with riooso's comment but since this picture is the only one of its type and we don't really know if he is looking at her or not and because all men have this problem I am willing to give him a pass. If a few more pictures show up without a doubt about what he is doing I don't think I could give him the same leeway, besides which, as "The Glen" points out it's hard not to admire a President who displays human qualities.

    IMHO -- let the man window shop. Our president needs "leeway" or "a pass" for checking out Brazilian girl's backside? Is it because she's 17 that the hubbub is made? If she was 18 would it have made a difference?

    He didn't offer her a cigar or anything....

    I don't think there is any real hubbub over this pic. I just found from a news site in among many other pictures of the president...this one stood out and I had to start a thread.

    Ok... my point was basically, if he wants to check out a girls ass, I say go for it. I would do the same thing. Of course I'm not president (this is a good thing).

    As a quick aside, as soon as I saw this picture, I got an email from a t-shirt company with all the latest jokes on them. The description of the shirt is:

    "You have to give him credit...no fear...checking the "assets" of a 16 year old with millions watching. Obama..."This buds for you". Can you blame him? "

    Cheers,

    Ogie

    There's no video on the supposed source link. I guess Mark this then is just your obsessive need to incessantly bash anything the President does. You saw something that could in some way be construed as negative and so, as you say, "had to start a thread." You seem to me to start these threads to either bolster your own opinions or to be an antagonist, perhaps both.

    Also, having photographed a number of weddings, I can tell you that this picture doesn't mean much anyway. Personally, I'm inclined to believe that he's doing what it looks like, but these sort of photos can be misleading. He could just as easily be moving his head to look at someone who called out to him at the bottom of the stairs, and the photographer grabbed this shot with a fast shutter speed at just the right moment. I've done it MANY times, sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident.

    You guys are so funny...

    but in the end, looks like Obama was quite the gentleman... and Sarko remains... you know, kind of... interested...

    Yahoo!

    I am always wondering why is it that so many people are so keen to comment and condemn behaviour shown in pictures, without the context (this is a general statement, I am in no case taking side here), when we know how easily we can be mistaken.
