Picture of the day President Obama gets caught enjoying those famous Italian vistas just a little too much

  • whatever

    1. Looking ain't no crime.

    2. This is a snapshot still. It is impossible to tell whether Obama is sneaking a peek (as if anything were wrong with that) or just got photographed at an angle and instant in time during which a woman's butt intruded his field of vision.

  • are you sure?

    are you sure he's not just in mid-Michael Jackson Memorial Dance Move?

  • "G"8

    Look at all three images and you start to think that the G in G8 stands for Gluteus.

    To be fair, on the linked images, one would probably instinctively glance at anyone who dropped some papers right in front of them. The expressions? Well...

    Funny, in any case.

  • No worries, no harm done

    Like Republicans didn't look at Sarah Palin as masterbation material either.

  • appreciating the well-formed exterior of a nicely costumed human female will not be enough....

    we still have the endless charges that President Obama is not a native born U.S. citizen (there are some twits out there who are convinced that Hawaii and New Mexico are not, repeat NOT official U.S. states), the endless charges that President Obama is a Muslim and the twaddle that President Obama is (a) the reincarnation of Hitler, (b) the reincarnation of Stalin, (c) the AntiChrist, (d) any combination of the above.

  • when he starts

    "hiking the Appalachian Trail" (as I hear the kids now call it), then we can worry.

  • sandals

    A thoughtful man like President Obama is likely just checking out those stylish sandals to see if he should buy a pair for Michelle.

  • Grasping at straws

    Must be a slow news day. This is silly. Not offensive mind you, just plain dopey.

  • Tom...

    Well he may be a foreign-born, Muslim, terrorist-loving, facist, I mean communist, no I mean facist again, spawn of Malcolm X and Beezlebub ready to hurl this country into socialist totalitarian, one-world supplicating dark-age.

    But at least he isn't gay.

  • Can Anyone Blame Him?

    I mean really.... look at her.

  • I Agree JT

    Looks like he's checking out her footwear, some just can't avoid looking for titillation in everything I suppose.

  • Re: sandals

    Good one, JT! If Obama reads salon.com, he might just use that excuse.

    I didn't notice the sandals. I'll have to take a second look at the photo.

    "It is impossible to tell whether Obama is sneaking a peek (as if anything were wrong with that) or just got photographed at an angle and instant in time during which a woman's butt intruded his field of vision."

    You're kidding, right?

  • in berlesconi's neighborhood..

    opportunities abound. or temptations.

    i think king obama will get the most trouble from his daughters, who are probably much less tolerant than madame.

  • He's in trouble, make no mistake

    I'm sure he'll be straightened out, or de-straightened as required.

  • definitely ...

    ... those are just the kind of sandals that would appeal to Michelle. And heck, looking at Michelle, I gotta think he's a booty guy (haven't there even been some remarks to that effect?).

  • This is absolute proof

    This is absolute proof that Obama is worse than Ensign, Sanford, Craig, and Foley combined. IMPEACH NOW!

  • Ok, great.

    We now know he's male and not gay. I'm pretty sure Michelle could have told us that. When girl with an ass that pretty walks past me I look, too.

  • Time to repost McCain's grab-ass shot from the debates

    A true classic!

  • Hu-man?

    From the headline, I was certain this would be the video of him stumbling.

  • when in rome (or L'Aquila...)

    isn't it the accepted stereotype of italian men to howl and bray like beasts at the mere silhouette of a woman?

  • Is that Joan Walsh's ass he is contemplating?

    Bravo Joan! Bravo!

  • Demonstrating Good Taste

    Michelle is such an elegant fashion icon and consistantly shows good taste like her $6,000 clutch.

    Now Barack wants to show he has "good taste" as well - I wonder how far he undressed her?

    And he's doing his best to erase racial boundries: he's hoping, he's willing to change, and his motto is "Yes We Can".

    Watch out Barack, that pricey purse may raise a knot on your head that's so big it will take you two weeks to walk around it.

    Now if it were Sarah Palin who got caught looking at a good set of male glutes (or motorcycle boots JT) she would be castigated as a bad mother.

    As Drudge alludes, maybe that young lady is BO's idea of a second stimulus package - well, "all men are pigs" - right? So now we can call BO "Porky the POTUS"

    Good fun guys!

  • My dear Tom in Central Illinois,

    " the endless charges that President Obama is a Muslim and the twaddle that President Obama is (a) the reincarnation of Hitler, (b) the reincarnation of Stalin, (c) the AntiChrist, (d) any combination of the above."

    Nonsense! He is simply putting a Mussolini spin on the failed Bush administration.

    You are unfamiliar with the famous poster?

    Why do you think Fairey, chose that image. He is well known for expropriating fascist, communist, monetary and totalitarian imagery.

  • At least he didn't bow to it

    I would have.

  • shoot

    that one glimpse alone probably convinced Sarkozy that Obama is someone he can trust. Watch relations between the USA and France improve even MORE after this.

  • OMG how old are they?

    A pack of naughty school boys on a field trip. Especially little Mitya Medvedev, blushing like a virgin from the seminary.

  • LOLROF

    I love this photograph. Michele won't. Barack's a dead man. Busted! A worldwide APB.

    I've been married for 29 years. About twice a year my wife catches me checking out some young lovely. "Roll 'em back in, sweetheart," is what I usually get. I just tell her, "I am married. I am not dead."

  • Man, how could you not look?

    Given the proximity, the "field of vision" thing (see Seinfeld cleavage peek episode), that you're a non-homosexual male (and maybe even that wouldn't matter) . . . a nice ass is a nice ass.

  • The real question

    Why does President Obama's left leg seem to be rising? Hmmmm.

  • G8 = G 8n't that chick fine?!?

    To paraphrase Kenan Thompson. Zut Alors!

  • The Messiah Sins

    Sarkozy is witness to the fall of the Messiah.

    Oh, maybe I have judged too harshly - The Anointed One is simply enjoying the ass-thetic beauty of one of his creatures.

    We know how the Secretary of State walks with her arm in a cast, and we know how the Supreme Court nominee walks with a cast on her leg - but how will the leader of the free world walk with his ass in a sling?

    Remember, Michelle has experienced Chicago politics - Barry better learn the use of sunglasses.
