Following the lead of Free Republic and the Drudge Report, media outlets highlighted a photo of President Obama from the G-8, in some cases with provocative, needling, or scolding commentary that is not supported by video of the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9y_vwNedQU

1. Fox noise is a pervert news channel. They have dirty minds.

[Buzz Clik]

2. Meh. Obama probably regrets missing the opportunity to check out a truly perfect trunk.

[MNDemNY]

10. He saw it.

[ecstatic]

16. LOL. If so then he's pretty good

at playing it off. The best I've seen.

[Buzz Clik]

17. Agreed. I'd be a lot more like Sarkozy: "Oh, my! There is a god."

22. badonkagate...

Edit to add that if glancing at lovely women was a crime, I would be locked up for life without parole... so clearly, I take badonkagate as an amusing diversion, and not an indictment of my President.

I just like the word. Say it with me:
badonkagate! :D badonkagate! :D badonkagate! :D

-app

2nd edit to add that Freepers are jealous that our guy doesn't require diapers, prostitutes, or under-age Congressional pages in order to get the blood quickening a bit.

3. The photo was posted here yesterday,

and I pointed out what depth of field can do, but was roundly booed for that observation, and then insulted, which ended up with me putting that neanderthal on ignore.

But, oh, yeah, it HAD to be a picture of Obama checking out a girl's ass. Along with Sarkozy. It HAD to be that.

Don't put it all on freepers and Drudge - we have our very own home-grown morans right here......................

4. As a straight man, I have to say I think he took a little glance.

No foul.

[Alameda]

7. so what if he did take a look. The whole package is beautiful....

[MNDemNY]

8. As I said, "No Foul".

[Patchuli]

23. As a straight woman, I'd say you are right on that!

He's just realy smooooooooooooooth....

LOL! :D

[liberal N proud]

5. He was clearly helping the other young woman behind him step down

They really dug that one out of the video to play it.

6. It doesn't matter where you get the appetite

as long as you're home for dinner.

As with Obama's smoking, this just makes him more human, and besides, the video vindicates him completely.

[MNDemNY]

9. +1

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

11. Even If Barak was looking, he know's he'll have to answer to Michelle...

At lease he didn't "pat" like Bush would have..

[Vinnie From Indy]

12. Just cause yer chained to the porch...

doesn't mean ya can't bark at the cars!

[graywarrior]

13. Jeeze, Fox is like a class of 5th graders.

[mr_liberal]

14. I thought at first he was looking at her feet

because it looked like she was barefoot and that would be... strange. I think he may have looked down at her but realized that he shouldn't so just stayed looking down. He caught himself and it was just a tiny glance. On the other hand, Sarkozy followed her all the way up into the crowd.

If anything it humanizes him and is worth a laugh no matter what he was doing. Its not a big deal.

Edit: having just seen the video again its obvious he's just looking at the ground preparing to take another womens hand to help her. The one frame photo is totally misleading.

[pepperbear]

15. These were the same people who fumed when they found out what "teabagging" meant.

[MarinCoUSA]

18. ShitHeadHannity flogged this on his radio show today.

According to him, he posted the video on his web sight and never mentioned that it refutes the drudge meme.

PIG!

[armyowalgreens]

19. Sarkozy is a fucking hound dog.

[Cha]

20. I want to know how they got the still

out of that video?!

[Cha]

21. fauxsn00ze needs to be held

accountable for this..the big clue is in President Obama's facial expression..doesn't bat an eye. Obama has more important things on his mind..like saving the world..he's a serious guy.

He was helping someone down the stairs and faux wants to excoriate him..freakin' assholes.
