When In Rome…? Actually, not so much

pardon me!

Crap. Another date night, at our expense.

men are men the world over. Fantastic photo.

LOL! The rollover reads “obama_busted.”

Another Date night? How about a date week? LOL It is a nice pic though.

The Ranger (Michelle) is not gonna like that Yogi (Barack).

He’s only looking at her shoes?! Is she wearing slippers?

LOL, President Obama. Men will always be men.

Too funny…and I love the look on the French Presidents face. “Wee Wee it’s nice”

He is married but not blind!!!

Gee, how much will Meechelle’s new purse, gym shoes or earrings cost to make up for this little indiscretion? I am sure she is racking up a credit card bill as we speak.

He might not be checking her out. Video would tell the real story. A still shot can look like a lot of things.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand? What’s the story suppose to be. I know pictures are suppose to be worth a thousand words, but then too how much can be gain from simply a picture? What’s the story or punch line behind this?

Well, at least he’s not a dry drunk who gets choked on pretzels!

Jake, are you bored or something?

Two observant young presidents fixated on the sights of the G8. Wonder whether the host elegante Silvio had anything to do with arranging this so that he does not look like the only one from the G8 club with an eye for the forbidden. Obama sure gives the press something to report. Either he is bowing too much to shake hands with the Saudi King or starring just enough for the cameras to catch sights at G8. Well at least he was not pulling a McCain during the campaign while introducing his running mate. Perks of the presidency.

President Obama–leader of the free world
Nichols Sarkosay–French President
Politicians checking the sights–PRICELESS!

Wow..most of these comments say , he is a man, he is human after all..etc.
Oh..yeah…what happened to Spitzer and the gangs.
Yes, they are all only human.

I think the Pres is getting his stimulus right about now.

Her booty aint THAT big for me to notice. But Pres. Obama and Pres. Sarkozy think so.

I dare Tapper to provide a video. I think that this is just a cheap shot at trying to make Obama look “bad”. If he is a ladies man, I would like to know more about it. You would have thougt that an old girlfriend would have popped up by now claiming to have once dated the now President Obama.

His eyes are trained directly on the booty. Lol.
It is what it is…

Obama is standing right next to her on the same step. HOWEVER in the final picture with the teens, the girl with the blue skirt is standing next to him. So he was trying to find his spot for the picture, it could be 100% innocent. That’s what I would tell Michelle anyway. lol

This is what the once glorious right-wing propaganda machine has been reduced to? Sifting through snapshots in an effort to find one they can spin into an attack? Sad, sad, sad.

Even if he was looking at her booty, wish I don’t believe, but It’s a man thing. Go President Obama!

I would think this is one of Berlusconi’ “veline”
What a funny picture. He’ll be in trouble tonight!!

Obama is a MAN! What MAN does not like to look at booty. At least he looks at good looking booty. Go, Obama, Go! He can look all he wants as long as he doesn’t touch. I am a Republican and even I don’t see any problem.

The fact that its a French guy and an American checking out a fine lady is funny and human. Obama rocks.

I’d be more worried about any actual man who wasn’t looking.

This picture is funny. When I saw it, I asked myself if it was what I thought it was. It appears he is looking at this woman’s behind. but come on now, she ain’t got nothing on Michelle! I am sure if he was looking at her, it was not in a lustful way. He’s a man and he is human. Give him a break.

Michelle is going to punch him in his dam* eye when he gets home.
Lol.

This is just the beginning, he is a Toad!!!

And you thought it was just a stereotype….ha-ha

Yes, I noticed the grin on President Sarkozy’s face. You think it was a set up?

favorite comment on here so far, by janet. yeah, he’s not lusting. he’s a guy.
i imagine the whole thing was “innocent” but it looks damning. and that’s funny.

GET REAL!! We all know that the bad comments come from Republican!! Stop Veing Haters!! He was probably looking at her shoes!! But a dirty mind will always think dirty!!

Mr President?

Well now, I guess we can be sure about his preference!!

Has anyone thought that there could be another possibility. The young lady is stepping up onto the platform and judging from Obama’s left leg, it looks like he is going to step down from the platform right behind the young lady. Could he possibly be looking at her feet so as to not trip over them?

=== Could he possibly be looking at her feet so as to not trip over them?

Well sure, but where’s the comedy in that?

EXTREMELY disrespectful and misleading Tapper — posting a Drudge shot, which you must know by now he culls to find ones that misrepresent/insinuate things, makes you no better than a tabloid. But if you took five seconds to watch the footage of this event you’d see they’re being arranged, people are milling around and collecting positioning papers off the floor, and noone’s gaze lingers inappropriately anywhere.
And worst of all, why does Tapper’s sewage end up on the front page of ABCNews.com?

Obama certainly fits the Democratic Presidential mold — the blue dress is next!!!!

Jake, this is personal slander. You are deliberately being drudge-like and misleading. And the fact that this is on ABCNews homepage is PITIFUL.
you are a disgusting piece of sleaze, hardly a journalist.

===Jake, this is personal slander. ===
LOL. Maybe Obama can hire Palin’s attorney to write a letter to Jake.
People need to lighten up. It’s funny.

You people are completely in denial if you think he is looking at her feet.

Stop it, I think the Pres is GREAT and this is too funny!! What a man!!

It is funny! Here are a couple of the most powerful men in the world and they show that Boys will always be boys! I love it!

I think I can see her Gstring…YUMIE

The guy behind Obama is checking the same thing! LOL!!!

So what if he got caught looking. Or it could be a poorly timed snapshot. I bet Michele will straighten him out.

I think the girl is going up to the president of brazil if I am not mistaken. the pres. has to be more careful when the cameras are around .
is he going to hear it from Michelle

We are all human. Obama nation!

It must have been a REALLY slow news day.

Ah, circumstantial, freeze-frame evidence of a ‘thought crime’. Good luck finding your integrity (journalistic or otherwise) again, Jake.

This pic will probably break joke email records around the world.
Excuses excuses…..sneezing, dropped something, just happened to turn….whatever. Look at Sarkozy. You know EXACTLY what he’s looking at, even if for a 1/4 of a second. That’s all the cameras need.
And I’m married, just like he is. Michelle’s gonna wear him out, no matter what the circumstances were. End of story.

Men are always men. just like dogs are always dogs. they don’t change. women just get use to them.

And what abuot Berlusconi?!? Married and having an affair with an 18 year old!!
Posted by: Flabbergasted
Yes, Obama is a better man than Berlusconi. . . and Clinton … Hillary Clinton.

He was probably checking out her shoes. And really, do we ever stop looking – no matter who we are???

This is news? You guys are pathetic!!! What a joke!

Traffic Cop Timmy:”And wow – Greta calls it a lie on Fox. How will Ryan_C handle this? ”
Since I’m here, I’ll do a quick stand in for an Obama partisan and say I’m not surprised Greta is defending Obama on this matter. I bet she’s also willing to defend him against charges that he didn’t scoop after walking his dog. It’s not hard to defend someone against a trivial and meaningless ‘charge.’ This is just a funny snapshot, similar in nature to carefully selected still frames ‘showing’ George Bush giving the middle finger at various times. Other than a chuckle, no one really cares about it.

This is ridiculous.
1. This isn’t news
2. You can’t see where his eyes are looking, just where his head is turned.
Get a life ABC…

There is plenty to call Obama on regardless of this picture…Either way, Looks like Sarkozy said something to Obama that caused him to look…

Hot mama!

I bet the wife and kids are really proud of him. He is the President he should know better that every move in public is being recorded.

Nice to see a Democrat back in the white house…

Oooo la la; haa haa. Look but don’t touch.

I agree. It kind of looks like he isn’t even looking at her. Look at where she is standing, looks like she is a little behind him, and Obama is clearly looking to his right side and forward a little bit.
Of course this reminds me of “back…and to the left, back…..and to the left.” JFK movie

I think it’s a funny picture. In fact, I think I’ll print it out and hang it on my bulletin board.
If nothing else, for all the differences the Americans and French have, it shows that both of our leaders are on the same page when they see something worth looking at!
I also hope the girl in the photo gets a copy of the still from whomever took the video. Imagine showing something like that to your grandkids when you tell them, “I was considered quite a looker in my day.”

I cant help to notice that Nicolas had paid attention to that too!!! God made us this way… its not our fault, its not a sin… its beautiful

Man Law!!

Michelle has almost had a worse week than Barack. Barack forgets where he and Michelle met, gets caught serial ogling with Sarkozy, (scopes out this Brazilian girl and later leering at a young woman minutes later)and finally Michelle makes news carrying an alligator purse. Finally it is disclosed that Michelle’s staff budget is breaking records for a first lady in the midst of a severe recession. Last but not least her garden has been tested for unsafe amounts of lead which causes brain damage in small kids.

Trab, eye-candy is eye-candy. And as long as men only look, there is nothing shameful about it. So who cares about her chronological age? She obviously has the body of a woman.
Look at the dress the she is wearing. You don’t think she wanted people to be appreciative? Look at her gorgeous hair, spilling down her back to right above her butt. While I envy her locks, I’ve had hair down to my butt too and I’ll tell you that wearing it tied back is a lot easier than down and loose like that. You don’t think she wanted people to notice and appreciate it?
I agree that, from looking at the photo a bit closer, it does look like she’s actually behind President Obama. So it’s really just a funny photograph that appears to be something it’s not. But even if Obama and Sarkozy were looking, it’s totally harmless.
I always figure if men stop looking, it either means they’re gay or dead.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people are working for Obama’s “cyber defense”.
Do you people actually get paid for this fawning approval of every ridiculous thing this man does? If so, at least you’ve got jobs!

Yeah, it’s another picture where you should believe Obama and his Internet acolytes, and not your lying eyes!
You know, just like when he didn’t bow?

Check out Greta Van Susteren’s blog from today entitled “Yes, a picture can lie.”
She writes: “…the President is not looking at the woman in red. We decided to investigate the picture and discovered that the video shows the picture lied!”
Why did Jake and ABCnews run with this story without checking the facts?
What a sickening lack of standards.

Good lord BigVaska!! I hadn’t seen that anywhere, googled it after noting your post…I am utterly blown away. This IS news, I wonder if it will show up anywhere in the MSM? And they jumped all over Palin for a measly (by comparison to MO) 100K that she didn’t even spend herself? Where this is TAX DOLLARS for Michelle…yikes!
The figures are in. As required by Congress since 1995, salaries paid to staffers employed in the West Wing of the White House must be publicly reported. Most of you won’t be pleased to learn that your tax dollars are paying $1,448,500 annually to provide the First Lady, Michelle Obama, with the staff she feels she needs to execute her duties as FLOTUS. …

It wasn’t as if she flashed him her thong in George S’s office.
This President can comport himself much better than Clinton could.

Concerned in OH, you’re one of the ones I think we need to be worried about.

Come on folks, yes, it looks like she’s a little behind him – AND his upper body and head is turned keeping her right within his field of vision. Or at least a part of her.

Jaylah posts:
Look at the dress the she is wearing. You don’t think she wanted people to be appreciative? …..it’s totally harmless…..I always figure if men stop looking, it either means they’re gay or dead.

You’ve got to be kidding? Isn’t this the old classic “look how she was dressed, your honor, she was askin for it” excuse? Are you REALLY saying that if you happen to be well built, your only options are get slobbered on or dress like a troll and chop your hair off (and likely still get slobbered on)?
Yes, of course in this case its likely harmless — its just crass. I’ll give him one just as I would anyone. It shows he’s human, but lets see if over time he’s a serial oogler or not (and hopefully not worse as some of his predecessors were).
As to the “gay or dead” comment – add to the end of the line: Or has some class and discretion.

Very callipygous indeed!

What’s this about???

It’s hard to see what else he’d be looking at so purposely. From the look on Sarkozy’s face, it’s a gimmie. Not a biggie though. He has more to worry about from the bulldog (MichelleBelle) than any of us. She looks like one to get upset over stuff like that, glad I don’t have to live with that one.

Is that Chelsea Clinton?

They say that in general, women becomes meaner and more angry than men as they get older. I think that Mrs. Obama consider this cheating. She’s already a very strong, angry woman even in her youth.

maybe she dropped her glasses?!

“Just what you expect from a power-drunk Marxist dictator, isn’t it?”
Not a dictator, an elected President of one of the world’s great democracies. Cheap shot, name calling in an attempt to smear. Hate spamming.

This is non-news. One glance in the direction of a young woman. So what, who gives a hoot. Could have meant anything. And the republicans are the LAST people in the world who should be hooting about this.

Obama can not walk on water like all you breeding hearts think. I am so sick of hearing how great he is and everything he does is so wonderful. He was checking out some awess and got caught. Leave the GOP out of this. This is a picture for the comedians fodder.
Nothing more.

Jake, ABC, COME ON! He’s looking at his footing as he’s stepping down – that’s why he’s not looking towards his feet at all, why he’s looking to the right side of his body (WAY to the right) when its his left foot stepping forward. I’m not buying this one.

Obama! You are sneaky, but you got caught! You old dirty man … you!!

This is quite incredible,every time Obama does something that could lead to criticism or laughter, ABC and NBC are quick to comment and essentially make the situation for Obama.
We shall see more of this as everyone realizes that 900 billion dollars of taxpayers money has been mostly wasted. Nearly a trillion dollars of cash to ‘curve’ unemployement. What a waste!

It will take more than a joker and a celebrity to lift Americas standing. America started a pointless war in which a country was basically destroyed and wasted billions in the process. America was the home to one of the biggest financial crisis ever. America is one of the biggest polluters and pollutes nearly as much as china for a population of 306 mill. I think you have to do a lot more to lift your standing in the world.

Oh and for those who think I am being critical of Obama, I am not. Who could blame him? Not me.

Very presidential.
It might make a more effective billboard than “Where’s the birth certificate?”

She might enjoy some community service.

Like I told my wife, when I stop looking, bury me. I’d look too. Very nice. Who can blame him? Shows he’s human. And I don’t like Obama.

hees so smart. Give the man a smoke.

This clip is taken out of context, if you watch the whole clip on the news the President is looking down to help another young lady up the step and he follows through by offering a hand.

He’s probably thinking about how he’d like to terrorize something.
Nice spin attempt ABC. Keep ‘em coming.

Finally, a President that will lift Americas standing in the world. A man we can trust to protect our wives and daughters. A man with high and nobel ideas.No longer will America be embarassed by its leader. Thank God he will not tap into the the terrorist phone line. A man who really deserves a spy satelite that can see through walls.
He feels sorry for her and wants to give her some Money- looks like this one could use a million or two.

He should try offering her some health care. or tell her how smart he is and that he knowes how to talk.. offer her a smoke. tell her he was a community organizer 5 years ago.

Mr Obama is a man like you and i , thank God he is not Bill Clinton who doesnt just look ,but you know what …

Thanks ABC for changing this story to show Obama in a better light. We certainly know that ABC will do everything it can to keep him in a positive light….if this was Palin’s hubby or President Bush, etc…you would of kept the story as is and “not clarify”

perimogi….check out CNN…it is not cropped and shows him stepping down and looking at papers…I frankly don’t care if he isn’t—he’s a healthy man.

He should promise her he will nominate a Brazilian to the Supreme court, offer her a smoke, then tell her he will bail her out and give her health care. And then if all else fails give her money.

impeach obama

Oh, please. Come on Jake even the One, the Democrat Messiah is just a man.
I was looking at the next step, yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket…. Have you met my wife Morgan Fairchild.

Jake Tapper is like that guy on Saturday Live — “Yeah, that’t the ticket..”. Of course it is human for a man to look at an attractive woman. It is the lies of the media to protect their cub (Obama) at any cost and the White House media gestapo destroying anyone who dare question their leader.
Grow up, Jake. The woman’s feet were no where near Obama’s. He looked, got caught, and you lied.

Maybe she won’t pay her taxes and become a cabinet member.

All Obama Channel ABC Any questions?

Well, well, well, the media has graduated from burgers to flank steak. Our fourth estate has become a TGIF.

Please, Jake is most fair person in the WH press corp and it is clear that Obama was looking down for the step and reaching his arm back for the hand of the woman in the floral dress to assist her in stepping down.
No matter how feel about Obama and his policies, he wasn’t even glanceing here, didn’t change line of sight at all. He was looking down before she even walked by and again, he did not moves his eyes when she did actually walk past.

And he was looking at his shoes when he bowed to the Saudi King. Got it.

At least he isn’t writing her love emails and calling her his soulmate LOL. The hypocracy never ends.

Ahhh what a liar.

Obama can do no wrong, therefore the narrative must fit this new truth. The sheep must have the correct scenario fed to them so that their minds do not get the wrong idea. Reality is what they tell you it is, not what common sense and facts indicate.

The real issue here is not what Obama was looking at. The real issue here is the fact that the press feels obligated to “clear up” any misconception. If it had been Bush we would have had much different coverage from the supposed professional journalists.

our president is NO DIFFERENT than any other president . . . boys will be boys!!! let’s not forget ‘billy clinton’, ye ‘ole democrats!!!!

Oh, come on! It’s funny. What’s the big deal if he was checking her out….men, and women, do that occasionally. I’m no fan of BO, but this is no big deal.

Hot dog! I don’t blame him.
Make sure the lamps in the WH are nailed down, Barry.

that might be all there is to it, but this is not the only ogling incident caught on photo, see this Italian paper
explain this one for him Jake

Hello? The muzzy fuzzball is gay. Non-story. New dog story. Ice cream with Sushi and Malaria story. “Look at the wookie’s new purse!” story. File under “fluff piece.”

lmao! look at ABC trying to cover up for Prez! just like his folks say he didn’t BOW to the saudi king! guess what people. when it comes to our prez we are not to believe our own eyes! understand? good… carry on…

Um, yeah everyone looks to their right to ensure safe footing as the step down a staircase…

The video made it worse! He was looking at the booty for quite a while!

Bill in NC- Apparently MikieSC has not retired his leather rebel hat.But as you know this latest issue or non issue happened well within the 6 month rule.Yea, 6 month rule.It’s a strong Repub trend lately to run away,deny,set their hair on fire if a question or issue is discussed that may have originated before January.

I watched the video and I’m going to believe MY OWN EYES and not the ABC spin. . .he WAS checking out her booty.

BTW… I’ll be one of the first to complain about media spin, but Jack Tapper is a straight-shooter!

nah nothing to see here, it’s ok everyone! Obama’s a democrat so this is allowed.

Probably was looking for something new to TAX

Sure…he didn’t look…
and he didn’t BOW before the king of Saudi Arabia either

Oooops! That’s Jake Tapper, not Jack Tapper. Sorry.

obama has made the US the “butt” of jokes world wide.

Wow, ABC defending Obama? They wouldn’t want to get kicked off of the biased media pedestal they’ve been placed on.

What is this sickness with the traitors who call themself Republicans ?
Watch the video he obvioiusly CONTINUES to look in exactly in the same spot as helps the other young lady down the steps.
As for the French President — it is OBVIOUS he is oggling her. And so what.
He did not sleep, touch or speak to her.
He looked. Not a crime.
Obama is innocent of this … and what do you call someone trying to take down a US President with a smear. Hmmm a traitor I think would be the word.
No surprise this is the lead story at Drudge.

Jake, how was the private 4th of July party the White House threw for you media clowns? Don’t you ever wonder why ABC credibility is zero?

That’s disgusting! – Obama’s no better than Clinton.

You are great Jake, one of the few people who will ask tough questions….BUT
Can anyone imagine the media scrambling this fast to defend Bush?

His feet must be about 4 feet long if he is looking where he is going to step. It’s funny his whole G-8 meeting coverage is wiped out by the Messiah looking a a pretty bum. Take that Axelrod. Ha!

Ha ha, this is what conservatives are reduced to now.
After the Ensign and Sanford affairs, after Saint Sarah cashes in, after they lose the presidency and thus their ability to torture and slaughter brown people, they’re left with indignation that Obama might have briefly glanced at a woman’s behind.
Too funny. And pathetic.

This coming from ABC, not surprised. If I were in Obama’s pocket I would defend him too.

OMG! He’s just smoother than your average jerk-off but the video proves he’s checking her “equipment” out. Just watch his eyebrows, they are a better determination of where his eyes are at! Also, he’s watching the wrong foot as he transfers weight!! He’s just smooth enough to follow through so as to not crane his neck once she passes by. This video is more damning than the picture is!!!!!

Even if ABC pulled there lips off the Presidents backside for a full week, I still wouldn’t believe they were anything more than a government propaganda engine. You people (ABC News) have no absolutely no more credibilty as a journalistic institution.

ABC is a shameless apologist. Let the man enjoy the view without a tortured explanation from an overprotective media

I was wondering how long it would take for the All-Barack-Channel to jump in and cover for him.
How pathetic…for the network, the newsmen, Obama, and the U.S.

If he is trying to look at the steps below him, why then does he look down and to the right? His feet are directly in front of him. Watch out Lady, Michelle is one large woman…best not make her mad!

AND she is only 16…

BTW… I’ll be one of the first to complain about media spin, but Jack Tapper is a straight-shooter!
Posted by: J. Jordan | Jul 10, 2009 9:17:04 AM
But what about this Jake Tapper guy?
Sorry Jake, hold on to your credibility and don’t try to sell us this bill of goods. Obama is a man, and a sweet young thing can catch a mans eye. Won’t hold that against him. It’s not like he reached out and groped her.
But don’t try to tell us an apple is an orange…

Hey, who are ya gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?

Come on ABC, do you really think Michelle is going to buy that one…
The man is the leader of the free world, let him make up his own stories..

Yea, right!! He is a saint!! Come on people, when are you going to see this guy for what he is? He’s no different than Clinton…not for a minute..

BULL. ABC is Obama’s PR Wing. I guess he didn’t bow to the Saudi king either? ABC has NO credibility in journalism. Keep telling us what we don’t see with our own eyes. ABC should be ashamed.

Of course he is checking her out. As is his pal Pepe Le Pew. Big deal; America needs to lighten up. Clinton told us this was OK. At least that guy had some intellectual heft.
ABC News…. you’re in the tank.

Who are you going to believe?
Me or your lying eyes?

Wow, one would have figured MSNBC would’ve come up running to O’Holy One’s defense first. Guess the All Barack Channel beat em. Wonder which of the “reporters” got to rub the Savior’s feet and give him a sponge bath. Pathetic.

No surprise from you lap dogs in the Obama press core. You are a joke. And Bill Clinton didn’t inhale.

Ha Ha Ha Ha!! He already stepped down! Grosssss. 16. Nice try.

So, the President is human. What is pathetic are all the ridiculous attempts by his knee jerk apologists to explain it away as something else.

Know what they say about roaming eyes…..

Seriously, He looked at her butt and you are trying to defend that? Goverment Media has no shame… none… nice try ABC “News” I am sure you are just jealous cause he never looks at you that way.

“so he looked down to assure his footing as the woman was walking up the stairs.”
Mmmmm not buying that. Why would you need to look to the side to check your footing? If he was really checking his footing he’d look straight down, not down and to the side.
Not that any of this is a big deal anyway.

Why is Sarkozy laughing at Obama then? He was totally caught and you communists are merely trying to say “pay no attention to the perv behind the curtain”.

Nice try covering this up. I’d like to see the comments if it was Bush in the same situation. Pelosi would probably call for an investigation and the rest of the left would be in an uproar. Now obama does it and ABC tries to cover up and other people, most likely obama supporters blow it off as nothing.

I think people are trying to make this out to be something it’s not. It looks to me like he’s looking for the hand of the woman behind him.

Michelle’s got arms but “Baby got back” and Barack got caught.

I honestly can’t blame him. I’m partial to Brazilian women myself. After all, Michelle Obama has an enormous butt! In fact, in some southern states it would be considered a veranda and subject to property tax.

What a gaffe, of course he checked her out! We love to denigrate our leaders, to make ourselves feel better. The media gets the air time, positive or negative. The importance is does this enhance anyone’s life, NO IT DOES NOT! We are listening to fluff issues when the world economy is strapped, the US is driving itself into backruptcy and sevitude, and we are trying to destroy the US economy with cap and trade, to limit carbon emissions that no one else is abiding by! Keep your eye on the ball not the a**!

Our President is a disgrace to his “Ivy League” education. Somehow he is able to get away with this. At his press conference he pronounces “sacrosanct” as sancrosanct and he says that before “he and his mother was killed” talkiing about a young African man. Bush would have been ridiculed for this–please don’t tell me BO gets away with this because he is Black! I see now why he needs a monitor for every speech he gives. He has a nice smile but he is not brilliant.
Don’t be to hard on my spelling as I went to a state school!

ABC News bowing to Obama again.
You sound like Clark Griswold which the appropriate response is still, “Sounds great Dad. Think Mom will buy it?”

I don’t think he was checking her out. And if you’ve even been with a wife or a girlfriend, got the elbow or kick under the table for no reason, you know what I mean. — Besides, to me Obama has always seemed to display more gay mannerisms than “hound dog” . . . the way he purses his lips, cocks his head, etc.

Please…he looked, he didn’t, why not try really reporting his actual agenda instead of jumping to his defense in meaning less trivia. If you did your job and actually reported the facts he would be in enough trouble let alone the pittly stuff that Michele will I’m sure take care of.

Rrrrrrrrright.

Thanks for clearing all this up. We wouldn’t want anything that even hints of negativity to come out about O-BUMa.
ABC – the new government propaganda machine!

Are we all surprised that the MSM would come up with an alibi for Obama?

LOL, the video makes it worse – not to mention adding some blatant spin attempt. He not only glanced at her butt, he stared at it until the other chick blocks the view. Who ever the nimrod doing the voiceover is pretty funny though, “I hope I don’t fall down these stairs”, lol – if you’re worried about your footing (this is for Tapper too) you don’t look to your side – you look to your own feet!

LOL. ABC has become a pathetic joke.
Journalism is dead.

To be honest, it could go either way. What is most shocking to me is the way ABC “news” feels it NEEDS to defend the president. Is that their job? Why not let the White House do it? Unless ABC has become an extension of the White House.

He may or may not have been looking at the young lady’s rear end, but what amazes me is the speed at which a major news outlet moved to cover Obama’s rear. Can anyone even imagine ABC doing this story about GWB? We all know it would have a completely different slant were that the case. It would be more on the “you watch and decide for yourself” kind of idea. In this case, the reporter in the video, the son of a prominent former democratic governor of a democrat strong hold, categorically denies that Obama was looking at her butt. How could we be so absurd to think anything else? And then he proceeds to dump it all on the right leaning presidernt of France. His guilt is more obvious. Evil right wingers are always guilty and lefties get a pass. Nothing to see here. Move along.

ABC – you are a hopeless joke.
Whether the President was or wasn’t scoping oout that girl’s (I’d say yes) it certainly looks that way.
If ABC wan’t the All Barack Channel it would just play clip, giggle and tell veiwers to judge for themselves. But instead ABC comes up with a lame defense/denial that just is another piece to show that the media is in the tank for Obama.

I’m not a fan of obabma but I don’t think that’s what he was doing. Sarkozy on the other hand wants to tap that ass

sure ABC!! now i guess what happens in Rome Stays in Rome..too.
First Letterman comments about to statutory rape of a 14 year old Now Obama looks to do it to a 16 year old. Is this Liberalism? ABC just gave Obama and all Liberals that they will cover for them anytime they feel the urge to commit an illegal or indecent act! disgrace!!

Gee when I go down steps I look forward and down to make sure I don’t mis-step. Only Obummer can look sideways and we are to believe he is looking down to make sure he doesn’t trip. Look at Nicolas Sarkozy and you know what the two of them were doing.

By the way, did ABC come riding in to the rescue over that photo that had GWB looking like his hand was *on* the olympic volleyball players’ butt? I don’t remember, Jake – can you link us to your post where you applied this level of investigative journalism to point out that he wasn’t, in fact, fondling her? I don’t remember it, so maybe you could provide a link?

Of course if this was a Republican he would be charged with lewd conduct.

YeP! YeP! I do the same think. Been smacked a couple of time by the wife for doing that!

No doubt the MSM is trying to cover for Obama AGAIN. When going down a step you look straight down to see where you are going. He OBVIOUSLY broke his neck check out that girl. Even Sarkosy (sp?) is laughing about it.

How quickly you protect the Golden boy ABC!! By the way, your bias is showing!

OMG, there isn’t a man alive who wouldn’t have given her a look, even PHilton would have looked and he’s liberal minded. Everyone that has posted thus far, has at one time, checked out the opposite or even the same sex. Weather is was sexual (yes I said the sex word) or not. Get off your dam pedistal’s, it’s human nature.

ABC grovels like a presstitute?
The real story would have been NOT denying the obvious. Obama’s behavior was natural. The Denial Story is just sad.

He didn’t bow to the Saudi Royal either, I suppose.

And on first glance it appeared the President bowed to the Saudi King. Since when is it the media’s job to cover for the President? Can’t you find it in yourselves to treat democrat politicians with the same (usually appropriate) disdain with which you treat republicans?

I remember how ABC fell all over themselves to inform everyone that Dan Quayle had in fact read a misspelled cue card in the notorious “potatoe” gaffe.
Oh wait… that happened in the Bizarro universe. My bad.

Then how do we or ABC explain the French president’s reaction…….he obviously is smiling with bemused detachment…..seems like a ” guy Moment ” between Obama and the French president.

The Obama Network to the rescue.Very funny.The pic of him bowing to King Abdullah was misleading too.We know.We know. Actually the photo is less embarrassing than when he speaks at these international conferences

It’s VERY obvious he’s checking her out, not looking where he is stepping. If that was so he’d be looking straight ahead and down not at her butt!

This WAS a non-story. But, now, with ABC’s ridiculous coverup, the real story’s become just another example of the media in the tank.
“He could have done this, he could have done that. Well, let’s go with what he most clearly did, and that’s check out this gal’s rear.
Seriously, do these people really think he’s some kind of superhuman, incapable of moral and intellectual error?

I’ve done the same thing as the president has and then abc news says it was not what it looked like. Ya right
come on be a news channel not the white house puppet….

Did anyone actually track his eyeballs ?

Big Deal.
How about doing a story on the lack of a birth certificate and the lack of access to his college financial records?

see what happens when he doesn’t have his teleprompter?
ABC. Doing what it does best. Defending the low class scumbags in government. Before AND after they help get them elected.

abc…. get real..

Nice “coverage” ABC! In your eyes, Obama can DO NO WRONG, can he? Unbelievable, the lengths you folks will go to stand up for this guy. It’s pretty clear he was quite taken with this young lady, as was Sarkozy. As am I.

ABC. Are you serious?! Yeah. That’s why Sarkozy is standing there hiding his grin at our inept freaking president, right?
You’re prejudice is showing. You have made it official. The people do not believe you anymore.

Who cares? He check out her ###, big deal. He didn’t grab it, he just looked. Lay off of the man!

Everyone of us whom looks at this picture looks at this girls behind, so whats wwrong if Obama does. Oh thats right……He is Jesus

Another reason why the nation is quickly forming the opinion that ABC News is nothing more than a really poor joke. First, this is hardly a news item. Second, Murrow would freak if he could see the state of our news media. Another continued attempt to deny any wrong doing on Mr. Obama’s part, and deflect the attention towards someone else.

Look folks, he is just a man and men are visual creatures. When I first saw the picture, I figured he was in trouble later that evening when Michelle got a hold of him.

Why would this be a surpise? His entire platform is based on coveting his neighbor’s everything.

I love the repubs claiming Obama is acting like a pimp when the right is plagued with sex scandels (both gay and straight).
I wouldn’t care if he looked at her butt, personally. However, it’s clear he’s looking at the steps. Get over it.

Who cares if Obama was checking her out? 99% of guys would. What is truly pathetic is the ABC spin on it. That’s the real embarrassment.

I think Obama is getting caught up in his celebrity status and believes he can do whatever he wants because he knows the media will spin it in his favor. He is forgetting that he is the President of the United States. I HOPE things CHANGE…

I am a conservative who is adamantly opposed to the Obama agenda, but let’s try and be objective about this. After watching this video a number of times here’s what it seems to me: Obama knows that the black young lady that is behind him will be needing to come down to stand next to him for the photo op. (In subsequent pictures she is standing next to him.) The young lady who he supposedly ogles has to go past has to clear her path before she descends. Immediately after she ascends the step, Obama reaches out his hand to assist the young black lady down. (Even while she is stepping down she bumps into the other girl.) Obama is looking in that direction because he is waiting for the step to be clear. As much glee as this is causing, if it had to be tried in a court of law, I think some reasonable doubt could be entered here as to his innocence.

Come on, Jake. The step was down to the right and not directly in front of him? What do you think we are? Obama supporters? Do you think we’re that gullible?

If you watch the video, he looks Down and to the right, (slow motion) Down and to the right. I call it the Magic eye theory. Matthews and Olberman will be leading with this tonight.

LOL… state-run media dutifylly covering for their king…

You know, I despise socialism, and I think Obama will go down in history as the absolute worst US president ever…but she is hot! Just wait until she is 18 – THEN look.

Again with the apologetics by the media for Obama? He wasn’t bowing to the Saudi king either, was he? The picture itself and the accusations that went with it weren’t that bad. What is reprehensible is that ABC News is covering for the man. And I thought ABC News was the fairest of the Big 3 networks. Looks like they are as enamored of the man as the rest of the mainstream bunch, to the point of letting it cloud their JOURNALISM.

Chris Rock – “A man is only as faithful as his options.”
His wife is right behind him and he didn’t get caught, now thats funny. He is only doing whats natural

Yeah right, this is another case of “are you gonna believe your own eyes or what we tell you to believe?” This is reminiscent of how you claimed he didn’t bow to the King, which he in fact did. The time has long come and gone for you bots at ABC to stop defending this jackass with all your “maybe it was this or maybe it was that” crapola and start holding “your one” accountable for his actions.

Just for quick bonafides, I voted for George W. Bush twice, and think Obama is doing some fairly stupid things as President.
However, watching this video makes it fairly clear that he’s not checking her out, but helping the other lady down the steps.
If you’re attempting to make the arguement that he’s being a bit of a pedophile or even reaching Clinton-esque levels of lewd behavior, get your head out of your a**. There is so much more fodder for criticism than this non-story.
But no chance ABC would have come to the defense of a conservative politician that quickly. No chance.

ABC – Why do you bother? This story is FUNNY, not something that either side is going to condemn as Obama doing something wrong. Yes I am a Conservative Christian Republican (oh noes!!!) and my only problem with this story how this “news” outlet does the thinking for us, instead of just reporting.

How’s that hope and change goin’ greenie?
LB

Angry repubs. Video surely shows the President being courteous to the lady he was helping down the stairs and making sure the other was out of the way. I’m sure the republicans would love this to be more than it really is since their leaders are falling off the sexual infidelity wagon faster than Micheal Steele can count.

What a great President we have. Even passed down a chance to sneak a peel when most men would have made fools of themselves. He is truly a great President and role model.

Oh, c’mon, state-run media types! Of course he’s checking her out. The vid makes it quite clear. But I’m sure he and Michelle have more important things to discuss. There’s an economy to destroy.

Hey ABC, (aka: Anything But Credible,)
There is nothing wrong with “just lookin for some tush”, but please stop your pathetic pandering defense of your messiah. In the Chrysler/GM bankruptcies, when he forced secured lenders to take a back seat to unsecured lenders, just to pay back his supporters, like any third world, banana republic thug, there is nothing more I need to know. He is a socialist, arguably a fascist, that is bent on destroying this country. Stop drinking the kool-aid you chumps!

I can’t stand Obama, but who cares if he was checking out some booty? Any normal straight man would of done the same thing.

uh no dice on the explanation, Obama is definitely look at the girls rear end. Either that or he was bowing to her. He seems to do that a lot.

Machelle and the teleprompter are going to beat him till he is black and blue (or at least just add some blue).

Are you kidding me? After a weeks worth of adoration for a pedophile, this is the news? The video proves the picture, the blatant GOVMEDIACOMPLEX and shows that most of the US is to stupid to change the channel.

For you Cameron…the comment posted at 9:34 am. You’re a moron! That’s why you and your kind are sick puds! Can you please get over the drug-thing with Limbaugh. He said he had a problem…he got help…and you STILL call him a drug user. I won’t even comment on the Palin jab, but just know your messiah (Obama) has had plenty of missteps that you are too blind and partisan to notice. One of the new ones he demonstrates is his lack of ability to keep his eyes off of underager girls…Obama! Keep your eyes on the stairs or you’re liable to trip! Man…wonder how ABC would make an excuse for that story!!

If he didn’t see that beautiful bottom, there’s something wrong with him. How could he miss her? Damn, gorgeous dress, nice bum, I’m sure she smelled good too!

I am growing very tired of everything that Obama does that is questionable is denied, explained away, or HIDDEN. The press goes OUT of their way working for HIM.

yes he didn’t bow to the Saudi king either.
Pravda, errr I mean ABC will stoop to any level to cover for their boss won’t they. Just go ahead and change your name to ObamaTV already

Why is everyone so concerned with PBO looking at some teenage tail? (After all, she is old enough to go to the store.) Just one of the many perks of high office plus it’s not a bad looking butt!

First, Pres. Obama was clearly admiring this girl’s behind. That is the first policy maneuver he has made that makes any sense! Second, the real farce here is ABC trying to cover for Obama. Does your network have any shame or an ounce of intellectual honesty left at all?

Give him a break, Obama was just amazed that God made female butts that weren’t 3 axe handles wide, like his “fashion queen” wife…

Right! Leave a cover story to ABC(AllBarakChannel). Keep it up and The Messiah will be without a channel! Jerks!

So you make a concerted effort to post a ‘news’ article saying the picture was taken out of context. Let me get this straight…it’s ok to pick and choose what you post from the other side of the aisle but you go to extreme efforts to defend this obvious gaffe. Pathetic. Still in bed with Obama…

Imagine that, if Messiah Nobama is having sex with an intern and someone took the picture. ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC will be out there defending their mighty messiah…. it’s a laughable.

Jake Tapper provided some hope for string journalistic coverage of this administration. That hope is now gone. This is a pleading that reminds me of Michael Jackson’s explanation of the sleepovers.

The All Barack Channel must have gotten its marching orders from the White House.
Hey ABC: WE DON’T TAKE YOU SERIOUS AS A NEWS ORGANIZATION!

Haha…Greggo!! Funny!!

Wow, I love the fact that ABC can also read Obama’s mind and come up with such in-depth analysis of how he was merely trying to avoid a misstep which totally inadvertently ended up appearing like he was saying ‘I gotta get me summa dat!’

He was looking at her butt you idiot. “Watching his step, looking at the steps . . . ” Right. You people are amazing. You will contort and twist every way you can to defend this man. You are embarrassing.

Absolultely looking at her rear. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I was just wondering who put ABC in charge of covering Obama’s butt.

If he were watching his footing, he’d be looking down at his feet, right?
C’mon it’s human nature. Surely ABC doesn’t need to tank dive this one.

Wow, ABC still carrying the water for Obam? ABC still making excuses for this man? Stop telling us what “what he really is doing” when we can clearly see with our own eyes, ABC. You’re a pathetic, pathetic, news network.

ABC is a government media outlet . . . lap dogs for the White House.

If this would have been Bush, this would be a major news story for days…

It is amazing the media refuses to point out a iota of negativity on Obama.
Steps or no steps, the man got caught.
Own up to it!.
OO, you mean personal responsibility? Forget it. The world owes me a living.

We’ll know tomorrow whether Michelle buys this pathetic excuse…

Are you kidding me? To check your footing you look straight down at your feet, not to the right and behind you. ABC, Americans are quickly waking up. Look at the poll numbers. We are not stupid. You have only a short while to continue the coverup for this president.

Sorry ABC even the video shows he was checking out her rear.

What’s so bad about looking?

To the republicants out there, I’d like to say, “waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Everyone is out to get you. The media is so mean. Waaaaaaaaaah.” Get over it.

YOU GUYS ARE NUTS IF BUSH WASNT SO BAD AS PRES. oBAMA WOULDNT HAD A CHANCE AT BEING THE NEXT PRES. SO THINK ABOUT THAT

These are not the Droids you are looking for.

Well most of sadly expect ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc to make excuses after all have they not proven over-and-over that they are in the pocket of the WH.

ABC, NBC, CBS will not let this president fail. He is a humanitarian god in their eyes. When we become a socialist dictatorship and the mainstream media (which would be government owned) will still be bowing to their savior and messiah.

Obama has to get his mind back on the economy. He promised he would be a new type of Democrat. Socialista, Socialista.

I hate Obama. I hate our President. He was definately staring and NOT stepping down. I deny all reality. I hate America.

YOU folks ON THE RIGHT are PATHETIC!!!! I VOTED for BUSH in 2004 and although I wasn’t happy with everything he did ( i.e. Katrina response, lethargy regarding the economy in his last year, etc) I NEVER thought he was EVIL; YOU RIGHTFULLY COMPLAINED about the level of BUSH – BASHING on EVERY TOPIC!! AND LOOK AT YOU NOW, DOING THE SAME THING TO PREZ. OBAMA; YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE FOLKS YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT DURING THE BUSH II YEARS!!

I think Sarkozy’s look is hilarious. I know this sounds horrible, but he looks like every stereotype of French guys I’ve ever heard! Yeah, this appears to be a “guy moment” that could be anyone. Guess the prez needs to be more self-aware (if that’s possible…) when he’s out and about. And way to make it worse by covering it up, ABC. Bravo, bravo.

The story is not whether he was looking/not looking.
The story is how fast ABC comes to his defense. That’s the story.
Replace this with Palin/Bush/McCain and I can guarantee you that it would be on SNL and would not be defended by ABC.

Obama was looking. Michelle probably gave him hell. LOL

Checking the stairs? What? The video clears up nothing.
Looks to me like the President is checking out the young ladies derrière. Which – I could really care less about… he’s human.
The shameless part is listening to the US media defend and manufacture excuses for this harmless act.

Michelle ‘gon get hur a new Louis Voitton bag! Uh..huh….

Nah. He’s checking her out. Oh well, he’s still a red blooded male.

BS – he got caught, now ‘all barack channel’ rushes to his defense. Pathetic, both of ya.

I find it hilarious that ABC feels compelled to narrate what Obama was really doing. When will the MSM quit treating Obama like a toddler and let him go? He’s big boy MSM, time to cut the apron strings.

Who cares. Why is this even a new story, there are more important things to report on.

Oh he was lurking! Come on!!!! Can the media make any more excuses for this man!?

It’s a shame he wasn’t checking her out. I would have.

The president
of Italy
sees and
Laughs at Obama
LOOKING at her !!!
I WASN’T THERE BUT!
SO MUCH FOR CHANGE!!!

He looked, big deal. Granted the girl was 16 (Imagine the reaction if someone looked at his daughters that way, he wouldn’t buy that excuses)…
ABC is now defending Obama asking us to not believe our own eyes, on a story that doesn’t matter. Geeze.
ABC probably beleives that when the Pope meets Obama today, the Pope will bow to the annointed one.

OH COME ON !!
Ø wanted to see where he was stepping so he looked slightly “behind” and to his right instead of directly in front?
No one does that.
Did Gibbsy give you that excuse?
ABC, a better excuse would have been that he was looking at her bare feet.

“OMG what is it with you right wingers????”
We call him The One because you Obamabots make every excuse in the world for him. HE is above mere humans. HE has no human frailties. HE can make no errors. HE can do no wrong. When we point something like this out to you, we get “OMG! What is it with you right wingers????”

ABC and the rest of the media are unionionized Democrats. Most federal employees are Democrat union members also. That’s all you need to know to understand the motivation of today’s American media. Obama is a moron who can’t tell you the frakkin time of day without a teleprompter.

There’s nothing wrong with him checking her out…she’s hot. Why does ABC feel compelled to defend everything Obama does? Pathetic.

looks clear to me he was looking at her butt as she walked up. so what? the real story is ABC going out of its way to try to protect Baby Barack. Typical media.

It was all part of Obama’s stimulus package. Why is ABC denying that part of the stimulus package really had a chance of working? Maybe that’s why the Administration is talking about a second stimulus package.

You liberals are such pathetic hypocrites! You’ll do anything to cover up “the exulted O’s” missteps, failings, and indiscretions. Face it he’s man and he checked out the cute teen’s butt and got busted. If it would have been Bush you would have openly ridiculed him and called for his impeachment.
Independents have a brain – Ron Paul 2012

“GOP=Losers. Try again.”
We plan to. In 2010 and 2012. Checked President Dopes polls numbers recently?

Oops…it was Uncle Henry she made the droids comment. Sorry U.H.!
Yours was good too Karen…

I seriously doubt that the media would have worked so hard to “exonerate” a republican prez the way they’re trying cover for The Chosen One.
Even so, in all fairness; I don’t think Obama was scoping out the girl.
Sarkozy? Yeah, big time.

Let me see if I understand this: At ABC people look off to the side to go down steps that are straight in front of them. Cumo must have tried that and landed on his head which would account for his twisted logic.

LOL! Fail!

He was looking at the stairs, really… or something. Like here or
here. Darn stairs…

Oh, give us a break already; he is clearly stealing a glance at her rear end; he is just being more covert about it then Sarkozy (prolly because the wifey is right there with him).
Mind you, I don’t care, even though I didn’t vote for the guy. Fact is, that is a mighty fine looking rear… and being married doesn’t make a man blind!

What I don’t understand is why the video ABC shows “zoomed in”? It clears nothing up since it cropped the photo…ABC should be fair and show us the long view… but maybe that would tell a different story.

ABC is inviting you to watch the video and decide for yourself not prominently featuring a misleading photo along with a headline implying something nefarious (DRUDGE). If you watch the video he is looking back for the hand of the woman behind him to assist her stepping down.

He mislooked er um um er I mean what he “meant” to do was um er um um!

When I saw this pic yesterday I knew the main stream media would start spinnig this. It is obvious he is checking out her rear. Why try and save him over it when you can’t? My guess is his pole numbers will start to drop with the women now. This attempted cover up is why I will not watch the lame stream media.

Amazing – You people will stoop to any level to protect this man. WHY??? Face it…he was checking out the rear of a 16 year old girl. Perhaps his name is Barack Clinton!

Is there any length ABC will not go to in order to make this guy look better than he is?

Oh My God, i got to this link from the wonderful site called====THE DRUDGE REPORT. IIIIIIIII NEVER watch JUNK LIKE NBC==CBS==CNN=MSNBC
OH but did’nt NBC sleep with the President, i mean, made their bed and laid in it, AT THE WHITE HOUSE?? THEY follow the President arround and live with him, eat with, and sleep there!
STATE RUN MEDIA

I don’t necessarily support Obama’s policies, but who cares about this? By the way 16 year olds dress and how old they sometimes look nowadays, it is not a big deal. I’m 22 and just came out of that age group – believe me, I know. Me and my friend were actually talking about this fact the other day – that teens just ASKED to get checked out. In this case, she wasn’t showing too much skin, but she definitely looks older from the back.

Oh come on. He looked at a girls rear end. So what. Of course he looked. Of course he noticed. It is not a big deal. All of you blaming the “GOP” are full of yourselves and your own sense of illogical and ill gained self importance. Obama is a man, he saw a posterior, he looked. Please. It actually elevated my respect for him that he is actually human.

I’m not an O supporter but who cares. I was a glance. Michelle will chew him out latter. ABC is another story. Do they think we are all idiots. I haven’t watched MSM in years. ABC reporting tells you why.

Sure. And he didn’t bow either.

Hey ABC:
You can stop drinking the cool-aid now.

What is ABC talking about? President Obama wasn’t even looking at the woman he escorted. She had to put her hand in his, not the other way around!! He wasn’t even looking at the woman behind him. He was obviously distracted and clearly taking that opportunistic moment to make a passing glance at the woman’s behind. As for Sarkozy, at least he didn’t try to be slick about it. LOL!! Come on ABC! Your video definitely clears up what happened. OBAMA caught a peak of that young girl’s derrière! :)

I agree 100% with Steve, who stated:
The story is not whether he was looking/not looking.
The story is how fast ABC comes to his defense. That’s the story.
Replace this with Palin/Bush/McCain and I can guarantee you that it would be on SNL and would not be defended by ABC.

After reading the comments I went back and watched the video. I must say that day by day the same news oulets that sold me on supporting this man are changing my mind about him. I have been a loyal supporter of ABC news for many years. But your one sided coverage of him is not right. I will have to find a more reliable source for my news. This is wrong what he was doing and I must say that I expect better than that from my President.

That video doesn’t seem to show what you think it shows. If anything, it’s MORE incriminating than the photo alone.
But really, who cares? There are more important things coming out of the G8 meeting than this. ABC should be focusing on real news rather than rushing in to defend the exalted name of their bff.
I echo the comments above. The reason there is a Fox News, and the reason it is the runaway leader in audience despite it’s right-leaning bias, is that ABC et al have been derelict of their journalistic duties and everybody knows it. Fox may be biased, but at least they don’t pretend that nobody notices.

Come on fellas, they are both checking that young girl out.
Give us a break, we aren’t stupid.
And why is it a story anyway?

Well I am a Conservative and dont really see what the big deal is on this one. Why dont we focus on real issues. Like how this administration and federal goverenment has over stepped its Constitutional authority.

“Nice Dress”

HHHmmm And he didn’t bow to the Saudi kng either! LOL!

What a joke!

Jake Tapper is the sole person at ABC willing to criticize Obama. Give him some slack.

Obama was checking out that 16 year old girl’s butt. There is no question about that.

He is ogling her butt and doing a good job of pretending not to. It’s a ploy that men sometimes use, but the pres. is usually expected to be a little more mature than that.

This ABC guy cropped the photo and then lied about it. They were on the same level! He wasn’t on a higher step (look at Drudge). This is amazing. I know ABC is in the tank for Obama, but now you are lying for him!!?!?!? ABC is ridiculous…no credibility whatsoever.

Wow, ABC has really gone off the deep end trying to defend this. You are no longer a news network. Maybe you up there with the tabloids available in the supermarket. Such a shame to see what used to be a real news outlet fall so low, so fast.

I agree with Mike. I cannot stand him, or anything he stands for, but I don’t think he was checking out a 16 year-old girl.

Obama was in that picture? Sorry, I was too busy checking out the hottie in the red dress to notice.
One’s body does not come with an age sticker. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating the female form of an adult-looking body.
If you watch the video, Sarkozy is DEFINITELY getting more than his fair share of a glance though. Props to the horn-dog.

Please! At least Sarokozy wasn’t afraid to look. Obama pulled, aka “Mr. Confident,” the standard ploy used by men who want to check out the babe but are afraid of their wives tactic of pretending to look elsewhere. Heck, Michelle looks angry enough when she is smiling… who could blame the Big “O” for playing it safe?

I quote another person who posted here and then provide my response: “ABC is inviting you to watch the video and decide for yourself not prominently featuring a misleading photo along with a headline implying something nefarious (DRUDGE). If you watch the video he is looking back for the hand of the woman behind him to assist her stepping down.”
My response: pffffffftt!!!!

clinton never had sex, obama never bowed, obama never leered. Can you imagine the media frenzy if Bush did something like this. Of course, Bush had infinitely more class than this bunch. Media, have you no shame? I guess not. You are looking more silly than ever now to try and white wash this one. Keep going, you are making yourselves out for the fools you are. you are fooling no one but yourselves.

“Stop embarassing yourselves.”
The Obama administration, starting at its head, is an embarassment to the United States. Those who voted for him, real or fictitious didn’t help. Sarkozy and the rest of the world laughs at the Commander of Disrespect, while American troops are dying in record numbers in the warzones.

The video analysis by ABC is poor, though. Even on the video, Obama’s gaze is not at his feet!

ITWBWWTMD
If-This-Were-Bush-What-Would-The-Media-Do?
I think they would let this picture circulate without correction and do the man damage. The media, afterall, didn’t like Bush. Now because this is Obama, the media’s chosen man, it’s circle the wagons time.
Call me a cynic…I’ve been conditioned to be skeptical of “journalism”. I see it as a profession of activists.

Nice try ABC.

Michelle, may want to have a talk with Hillary to see how she handled her problems in the WHITE HOUSE.

It’s sad how the state owned media is trying to make excuses for Obama.
You want him to be super human when he’s not. He’s obviously taking a look but it’s not a federal offense and it’s not a reason for the state owned media to try and tell people don’t believe your lying eyes.
I just think some people are delusional when it comes to politicians.

So if Obama comes out and apologizes for the incident, ABC news will report that he was mistaken and actually wasn’t looking at her? We expect the biased opinion, but stating it as a fact is a bit too blatant.

Haha…just like the “deep knee bend” genuflection to a Saudi King that ABC had to explain away — despite visual evidence contradictiong the lame explanation!!! How stupid do you really think the American people are?!? Yes! they voted for this Clown, Yes! they failed to pay attention to all of the warning sshowing that he was unqualified, less than intelligent, deceitful, and quite possibly the most incompetent leader of anything that the world has ever seen! (And, YES! you in the Big Media had a LOT to do with that!) But, Americans are waking up, and starting to think for themselves .. a little. Give it up Jake! Let the record stand — just as it is.

Shame on you ABC!!!! I watched the video alright and it’s even more clear that he was checking out her ###. Any idiot can see that. I don’t care so much about him, but I have a real problem with YOU telling us we are not seeing what we think we’re seeing.

HAHAHAHA!! Pleeeease! Obama’s eyes are drawn to exactly the same place mine would’ve been. So what? Who doesn’t like the color purple?
What’s more amazing is the way the press is trying to influence public perception on this matter. Amazing, not surprising.

Nice try Jake,
But the video actually confirms that he was checking her out, as opposed to dispelling any misconception…
I expected the usual arguments about his virility, it’s only looking, and prudish religious types needing to let their hair down; but I didn’t expect to be shown a video clip and be simultaneously told that I’m not really seeing what I’m certain is going on…
Really, you guys have to stop this kind of stuff…

Sounds like payback time for ABC’ all access presentation last month. ABC is in bed with Obama, who wants to be in bed with a 16 year old from Rio. How can anyone trust ABC’s judgement?

I don’t care if he was checking a girl out. If he was, it tells me that there actually is a human being somewhere in there. Rare for most politicians.
What I do care about is the fact that the media are analyzing the film like it was the Zapruder film to prove he didn’t do it.
If this were a potentially embarrassing, but misleading, picture of a Republican there would be no effort on their part to correct the mistaken impression that the photo leaves the average reader with upon a first glance.

I wonder what Michelle is going to do. With her ‘racial issues,’ The Chosen One may be in for a long, quiet plane ride home…

that is so funny that ABC is trying to cover up Obama looking at a 16 year old behind. have to laugh at the media!!!

Oh for god sake GMA! Whatever….GET REAL and stop making stupid excuses, this really didnt need a clarification did it?

You all are really reaching for something aren’t you.
Yes when you step down stairs you look ahead, unless you are helping the person behind you. Then it is a little difficult to look straight ahead.

You left-wing whack jobs will examine this like the Zapruder film. 100 times more than the examination you should have given Obama during the presidential campaign.

It’s sad how the state owned media is trying to make excuses for Obama.
You want him to be super human when he’s not. He’s obviously taking a look but it’s not a federal offense and it’s not a reason for the state owned media to try and tell people don’t believe your lying eyes.
I just think some people are delusional when it comes to politicians.

What I am being led to believe:
1) President Obama REALLY didn’t look at that girl.
2) President Clinton REALLY didn’t have sex with that woman, Miss. Lewinsky.
3) ABC News REALLY isn’t trying to cover for President Obama’s errors.
4) They are from the government, and they REALLY just want to help you.
5) The check from the State of Califiornia is REALLY in the mail.
6) After this administration is through doing to this country what they plan to do, they REALLY will respect us in the morning.
Yeah, right…..

Yeah… the video didn’t help his case much. It was a fleeting glance but a glance just the same. I really don’t like this guy but the pedophile comments are over the top. She wasn’t wearing a sign saying, “I’m under age”.

I was wondering why Michelle travels with BHO all the time. She can’t trust him with all the hugging, bowing, and ogling. And that is in public.

Truthfully, I don’t care if he was looking at her rear-end, although I consider it extremely low class. However, I do care that ABC is, once more, trying to excuse and skew what Obama’s true actions are.

So if Obama comes out and apologizes for the incident, ABC news will report that he was mistaken and actually wasn’t looking at her? We expect the biased opinion, but stating it as a fact is a bit too blatant.

Who… cares…?

I could care less about where Obama is looking. What is of great concern is the lengths the “free press” are willing to go to try and cover for this guy. This is just pathetic.

I wish I was French, so no one would bother me when I look.
Cause I like to look.

WOW! he sure “looked at the step” for a long time to make sure he could get his footing, huh? Who knew his motor skills were on par with a toddler?

Thanks for explaining that to us Jake. You are an insightful reporter doing very important work.
Some might say you are doing the work of the Lord.

HA HA. The video proves even more than the picture. He had clearly already stepped down. It would be a natural thing if the girl WASN’T a 16 year old.

I would be worried if he DIDN’T look!!

This is important because Republican websites like drudgereport.com are trying to make this look like something that it wasn’t.

oh okay we are supposed to believe abc when you can clearly see he is looking to his right not down. even the french guy knows what he is doing.
america, when are you going to stop picking sophomoric frat boys as your leaders.
barry is weak and narcisistic and will only further take government away from the people.

I don’t think he could tell whether it was a 17 year old butt or a 29 year old butt. So forget the pedophile comments. And even if knew her age would it matter? A beatiful woman or girl is something to be cherished and appreciated. But I think he was actually looking at a 2,000 year old step and making sure he didn’t fall on his own butt. But does it really matter in the broad scheme of things?

OK,,,, if he was stepping down,,, then it looks to me like,,,, HE WAS ALREADY down. Both feet are already on the ground. Why did he need to continue to look down,, if he was already down? How about that Jake “The Obama Protector”?

Looks like Obama is following down the same road as Bill Clinton.

He was looking. Period. Try as he may, he was looking. You can’t walk past such and not look. Obama is human people!

Just looks like a typical community organizer flapping his gums and out of place.

In the minds of ABC and the rest of the Obama state-run “HE’S LIKE A GOD” media (Newsweek Mag’s decaration) the picture has to be excused. God-on-earth Obama is too pure for lust, at least for anyone but himself.

As a man who’s ogled many a booty, I can spot a slick glance a mile away. That’s the trick, integrating your positioning seamlessly into whatever else you’re doing so you can steal a peek covertly – except when cameras are about!

I have no respect for the man’s capabilities, as often stated, but it appears to me he was clueless as to the young woman’s assets…as he is clueless as to what to do with his office.

Why the big deal even if he was checking her out… I’m not an Obama fan, but he’s a man… hell, I check out chicks all the time. I’d think less of him if he DIDN’T check her out.

ABC, GET REAL! He was obviously checking her out. He can barely grab the woman’s hand because he’s so preoccupied. Liberal losers. You’ll try to defend anything.

And he didn’t bow either

If you bother to look at the video footage, he was looking at the ground the whole time the woman walked past. He didn’t react at all to her admittedly bootyliciousness.

I am not an Obama fan, but I think the pic posted on Drudge is misleading. Not a big deal at all. Besides, I think Michelle could strangle any competitors with her bare hands.

I do not care what the President was looking at.
The fact ABC rushed to his defense is pathetic. Amusing, but pathetic!

In the still frame, you can clearly see Sarkozy smirking and watching Obama. Then after, Sarkozy starts scoping her to see what Obama was looking at. The excuse is exactly that, an excuse. Obama got caught with a wandering eye.

I cannot disagree with Obama more, but if you run the video he is looking at and reaching for the hand of the lady to his right and helping her step down.

their is the two way picture has been shown.and their is no doubt that obasma the our president is watching womans ass
and french president is smiling.
wake up amercian people.
poor mich… obasma …..
no love their hello
if if president is watching for himeslf then he should have kneel his head down for him self to wards forwards.

This is the same network that has a former Clinton operative hosting a Sunday morning show. When Barry refered to his Muslim faith, Georgey boy had to correct him. “You mean your Christian faith?”
Both are jokes, dangerous, but jokes.

“I love that the Right will spend hours of time analyzing this video…”
It’s actually not about the video, it’s about ABC’s need to spin for the President. I don’t care if he looks, I care if the press tries to decide for me whether he looked or not.
Those exclusives don’t come cheap.

Okay. I think you are correct. It doesn’t appear that he was looking.
A bigger question for me however, is….would you have gone to the same lengths to defend former President Bush in a similar situation?
Answer: I think not.

He’s a guy. That’s what guys do.
Sarkozy knew what what happening and he was probably more bemused at what he KNEW the European press would do with that moment in time.

ABC has lied so often they cannot tell the truth now if it hit them in the face! Planning on any more Obama infommercials soon?

If you slow down the video and go by frame-by-frame, you are able to see that Obama was looking at, and it wasn’t the step.

i use my peripheral vision all the time….

Guys? It’s a bottom. It’s a really *nice* bottom.
It doesn’t LOOK as tho he was actually having a long gander at it from the video…but I bet now he’s wishing he DID take a closer look. Good thing it’s now immortalized in photo format!

Apparently, their love fest with O is not over yet.

Amusing how people claiming that a video that obviously shows Obama helping a woman down the steps is “spinning.”

Yeah, the lefties are spinning Obama was checking out the masonary work on the steps.

ABC to the rescue

Who cares?

According to the “media” the guy can walk on water and change it into red ink, why would he need to look down at a step? ABC, NBC and CBS are in the tank for this guy and will slant anything!

Obama was just being helpful. . .and look, he has created 2 billion new jobs too.

This is a perfectly executed “Under the guise of…” look You see a beautiful woman coming and you want to check out the back half. So you make a turn to address your lady friend, or in this case, to “assist her on the stairs”. Or you can fake that you are turning around to look at something else. While doing so you steal the glance at the ol caboose. Oldest trick in the book and it works well unless there are 2000 cameras on you. The French media caught it. ABC is trying to shield it.

If the case is, as ABC wants us to believe, that Obama was looking for the step, then why is Sarkozy smirking/laughing?

as mentioned by another -
if this doesn’t make the rounds on every late night TV show in terms of joking about the president then every TV host should just resign.
If Letterman, etc can’t find humor in this pic then they simply FEAR the Zero.

People we american are alway finding a way comment on things that are not there. If you really observe. the President was look down at his step and make sure that the other young lady was not going to fall. Now the French President is a different story but that is his problem.

ABC proves again that it is merely one of many lap dogs for the White House. Truth is, who really cares if Obama “sneaks” a look or not. The sad part is he got caught doing it and ABC is helping him cover it up and put a “righteous” spin on it. To suggest on this website that the “Video Clears Up Obama Photo” is another case of “if we say it enough times and loud enough, it will become truth”. Shame on ABC! Get real! Are you a news or propaganda establishment? Whose access to the White House was threatened if you didn’t take part in this spin?

Supreme, great comeback! Touche!

ABC, doesn’t stand for the AllBamaCompany for nothing. I wonder how much Soros gives them to stay on their master?

Well duh, the explanation the All Barack Channel gave would be the same one a guy caught by his ###### off wife would give her. lol And she wouldn’t
believe it either!!!!!

Nilda, the logic of your explaination is weak. Read my response to fblaze

Given the rear end he goes home to every night, can you blame him for doing that mental exercise all healthy heterosexual engage in every day? This girl is about as fine as it gets, and fantasizing about the possibilities couldn’t be more normal. Viva le President.

O-bama…..O-baby!

I have to say this is amazing. When I saw the picture, I immediately concluded it was indisputable- I mean what else could he possibly be looking at? I thought to myself “who would possibly risk the embarrassment of even trying to suggest that Obama wasn’t looking at this chicks butt?” – I guess we have the answer to that- it’s the same people who claim Obama didn’t bow to the Saudi prince when the film shows he practically threw out his back in doing so…..not only is our leader an embarrassment, but our media coverage of his actions is making our country look like an episode of Saturday Night Live to the rest of the world….I’m so mortally embarrassed for us that I’m practically speechless….

Yeah, right and he didn’t bow to the king
either.

While I agree with the video analysis, it’s ABCObama to the rescue again. Would Bush had gotten such an objective review?

I just observed 17 people in my office walking down steps and not one of them glanced sideways and back when doing it..a more scientific approach than ANYTHING ABC has ever done as the trip over themselves in adoration of their chosen one…
What a joke.

It’s George Bush’s fault

Funny, when HE deplanes, he runs down the stairs and never looks down. Why would he need to look down to keep his balance in this case. Maybe if he had actually been looking at the steps that excuse would fly. Wish our president would get some class…..

And, yet another raging heterosexual in the White House.
The gay community will not be pleased…

Of course ABC is gonna try and float this explanation. They helped get Barry elected and they don’t want anyone to think ill of their guy. ABC thinks we’re all stupid.

cave man time

I hate Obama with a passion, but I gotta say, it really does not look like he was gazing at her rear. The amusing thing is that Sarkozy definitely seems to have been doing so and even cranes his neck to get a better looks as Obama steps down.
Obama is still leading this country down the wrong path, but I don’t think he can be nailed for this.

It is the eyes that went there. Eyes have the affinity of appreciating aesthetic surroundings…involuntarilly! Can’t avoid it. Don’t forget, he is human…a man…period!!!

I can’t even believe what I am reading. It is scary how much people slober over “the anointed one”. What’s next? I can just hear the defnse now, its just like what liberals said about Clinton for being “a guy” “human” “a real person”, etc. Pathetic!
But, given the current state of things, would it be more effective to concentrate on things that matter? Perhaps finding solutions for real problems like jobs and the economy?
Why don’t we talk about Michael Jackson for another week? I wish we could get people to care about things that matter other than our infatuation with pop culture.
Bottom line Barry is more pop icon than a presidennt. Open your eyes!

Obama is checking out that chicks butt, but look at the French president he also doing the same thing, look at the grin on his face.

Who wouldn’t notice her? She’s beautiful. Beauty is beauty and it has many forms. One should never pass an opportunity to experience it.

Look at the expression on Sarkozy’s face. Now you know the truth of the matter…no spin, just fact.

It’s so interesting how ABC “News” goes out of its way to defend Obama. If this was George Bush, ABC would snarkily be all over his rear-end (no pun intended). This is right up (?) there with Clinton’s remarks on the female mummy. The look on Sarkozy’s face tells it all.

I’m a conservative and do not like what Obama is doing to our nation. He’s a liar and an incompetent in many ways, but in this case, he’s not looking at the girl’s bum. The other photo, of the woman stooping down, possibly so. I’m more concerned with how he’s stripping our country of our freedoms.

I just checked out the ABC video. The GMA news crew sure did seem to get quite the chuckle from the prospect of a couple of middle aged men checking out the bum of a teenaged girl.

“On first glance, the snapshot appears to show President Obama caught in a moment of less than lofty analysis. But upon looking at the video, the moment might seem to appear quite innocent — one of those times when a picture can be misleading. The president was on a higher step and was stepping down — so he looked down to assure his footing as the woman was walking up the stairs.”
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..!!! Leave it to the Leftwing media to try and cover for Huessein.

I detest what Obama is doing to this country but strongly believe in discovering the truth. Look at his eyelids in the slo-mo replay. He’s looking at the step where he is about to assist the young lady. There’s plenty of policys and decisions to vehemently disagree with him on without making stuff up.

Sure Jake, whatever. Call it Tail to the Chief … or Obama Eyes a Second Stimulus Package … or Yes Nice Can.

MSNBC deletes the audio of Obama asking for Grey Poupon at the hamburger stand, and now ABC breathlessly rushes to Obama’s defense here. The Fourth Estate is dead.

You’re hilarious ABC!
Yeah right…Obama didn’t look at her bum, he didn’t bow to the Saudi king AND you’re ratings aren’t plummeting.
Now, repeat that 3 more times and I’m sure at least YOU will start believing that.
Unfortunately, no one else does you idiots.
Hey, here’s an idea. How about becoming REPORTERS again instead of the Obama’s PR Agency???

Alright, as much as I do not care for President Obama, I find this type of journalism crap! EVERY site I go to has this stupid shot. Surprisingly last night on Greta, she had the VIDEO showing what was going on. In the video, it is clear this isn’t what has happened. He doesn’t even notice the girl (maybe 15 or 16) walk by. The snap-shot stories like this should stay with the TABLOIDS!

you guys will do ANYTHING to protect your guy.
shameless. shameless. shameless.

He should have some decency…that young woman is not much older than Obama’s children…..

I completely agree with those who point out the fact that ABC news will do anything to protect this guy.

my first thought was ‘is this girl barefoot?’
if anything it might have made him wish he too could be barefoot on a beach.

Once again ABC running to defend Obama.

How was he to know the girl was 16?
He knew that she was a member of the junior G8 members. Look at her face. She is obviously underage.
All men like a nice butt but as a warm blooded adult male I have to make sure that I don’t visually undress every women that walks past me especially children.

Priceless….

Americans are so stupid they’ll probably buy this excuse. Somedays I wonder just how stupid the average american has become. Maybe we need a nationalized idiocy exam administered each year. There used to be a competency exam for voting!

Indiscretion? Not this time. ABC covering for Obama – not this time. Jake Tapper is an honest reporter, one of the few in the MSM. He’s clearing up the controversy. No foul this time guys.

DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER MEL REYNOLDS?
OBAMA THE NEW MEL

What the news media did was cut about 5 seconds from the beginning of the video. If he was looking “down” the stairs how did he see the girl approaching from his right and above him?
Obama lies and the news media swears to it!!!!!!

(A)OBC is such a lapdog Network for the Obama Administration. Can it really be taken seriously??

Proof that chivalry is dead: All the idiots are obsessed with the idea that he’s checking some woman out.
They ignore that, in reality, he’s just being a gentleman by helping another lady down the steps.

Maybe he was looking for weapons of mass destruction!

he is not checking out this gals ass, just like he didnt bow to the king of saudi arabia.
GIVE ME A FRIGGIN BREAK.

Another case of a radical leftist network trying to cover for their “guy”.
For you other lib crybabies, yes Republican and conservative men look at women too just as the perfect one did. TThe main difference is that you dont have 3 or 4 major networks falling all over each other to come up with a lame excuse for them.

When I walk down stairs, if I don’t have a shapely ass to stare at on my right side, I just stumble all over myself and fall headfirst! I know what your saying, JT. Keep up the great rationali…errr, journalism.

It is bad enough you put a pro Obama slant on the news on a daily basis, Jake. But do not tell us what we are seeing. That is an insult to America’s intelligence and reveals a lot more about you than it does about Obama’s wandering eye.
ABC news has become little more than a cheering section for Barack Obama.

Yeah, sure he wasn’t looking. Liberals will deny anything he does wrong, and the list is growing.
And if this was Pres. Bush? He’d be impeached. Liberals are hyprocrites.

Of course ABC will run a story to defend Obama! These sort of silly freeze frame things happened regularly to Bush, but ABC never ran a story saying “but wait look that was taken out of context.” Always Barack’s Cheerleaders!

It was a total check out. No question. He was just slick about it.

Come on ABC, are you really that despearte to defend Obama. It was just a goofy pic on the Drudge report. I like how you threw the French guy underneath the bus. Classy.

I am not a fan of Obama in any way but all he was doing was waiting to hold the hand of the lady above him. His gaze never changed always looking down. Lets go back to talking about real stuff like his screwing up of America.

she is Mucho Caliente!!! rrrrr….
Obama checked her fine peace of rump
and oh yeah…he liiiiiked it….
hahahahah :)

Quick Obama may have stared at some girl’s bum, get a team of video analysts over here right away, bring in the CIA and Homeland security to prove Obama was looking elsewhere.
Quick Bush needs to loose, bring in Dan Rather and company to create fake documents we can report as news and help turn a close election.

Stop The Presses! OMG there are still Heterosexual Males in the world who are actually attracted to females- Maybe The Same Scientist who created Global Warming Came Explain This Sudden Act of Nature. Maybe it is too much CO2 in the Air. All of this whoopla while a mad man in N. Korea Points Nukes at us not to mention our trading partners (if you can call them that) China. What buffoons have populated our media use to be you had to have an IQ above 50 to watch the news, now that seems to be the IQ it takes to report the news oh and a good head of hair.

Now that’s a nice ass!

Obviously he is looking, and clearly this video was cut so you can only see above the waistline to give the appearance and cast doubt that he may have been looking elsewhere.

Aaa, everyone’s too PC. Not like he knew how old she was, I woulda turned my head too. It will make its way to the late night circuit I’m sure. And why not? About time we get something to laugh about with the guy, give Biden a rest for a change.

ABC you make me sick with your biased “reporting”.

THATS HOW MEL REYNOLDS GOT STARTED.
THE X REP FROM ILL. THAT WAS CONVICTED

ABC you make me sick with you’re biased “reporting”

Why do you have to give him a pass If that was Bush you would be saying that he was cheating on his wife.Because it is your beloved leader you bow to him and give him a pass. Come on ABC this article stinks of we can help with this bad situatuion Mr.President we’ll tell the American public what they are seeing.He was eyeing that round booty.

I usually look down to check out the stairs, not sideways.

ABC is pathetic. How do you defend this crap with a straight face? What a joke of a news organization. This just shows how bias they really are, it is obvious what he was doing. Not that I care at all, but their blatant defense of the obvious is just horrible.

And if the same shot had been taken of Bush appearing to check out some shapely teenager’s rear end, ABC would have leapt just as swiftly to his defense, right?
Right?
. . . Right??

Yesterday Pew Research published polling results revealing that only 6% of scientists are Republicans.
After reading a few pages of illogical, unhinged right wing posts claiming conclusive evidence of an ogle without clear supporting evidence, Pew’s results aren’t at all surprising.
It’s also not surprising that someone like Sarah Palin could be so widely admired among the right wing, although she can hardly string a coherent sentence together.
But anyway, back to the original topic, Greta Van Susteren of FOX first defended Obama on this ogling issue, not Jake.

Even though B. Hussein will go down as the worst president in US history, and is destroying our country, I give him a break on this one. He’s a man and he’s not dead. I saw the pic and thought, “right on, Mr. Prez!

If he is watching his step, he should look where he is going to place his feet not at the behind of a 16 year old. Will this picture appear on any of the nightly news broadcasts? Of course not.

Wow! How nice of ABC to find a video and post in defence of our Glorious Leader. I hope ABC do the same for other political figures equally in the future…

If it is no big deal why is ABC defending it ?

Awesome idea to crop the video so it doesn’t appear that he’s checking out the 16 year old. Great work ABC!

Would ABC have clarified this photo had it been Mitt Romney, or not have bothered?

Big deal..A Republican would be poking that caboose and then asking forgivenss

Don’t believe your lying eyes. He was looking at the ground to “assure his footing” not looking at that kid’s butt….riiiiiiight.
Wwhy don’t you have a seat right over there…” — Chris Hansen

If you’re not sure about this, just check the hand he is supposedly using to help the other girl down the stairs with. Not a helpful support position at all, unless he’s trying to break her hand. Neither is he attentive to the girl he is “helping”.

If you have to defend something…..it just looks bad. They should have just let this go…too me he looked then went about his business….Sarkosy caught the Pres…quick glance, but seemed to look at what the Pres was looking ..at….those two..Yikes
Men in control or not so much!

BUSTED!!!!!

Nice try. How desperate the so-called media is to besmirch Obama in any way possible. Just look at the comments from the wingnuts who don’t know how to lose. We had to put up with single syllable George for 8 years. It’s so nice to have a President that speaks English and doesn’t go around rubbing the shoulders of German rulers or reading “My Pet Goat” which his buddy is destroying the WTC.

ABC tells us “Don’t believe your lying eyes” with a straight face, this is why no one trusts the media anymore nor should they.
This is just the latest example of their twisting the info to prop up the boy king.
Hey ABC read the commentary left here by most of the posters and you will learn why your ratings suck,…and they will get worse!

ABC is sooooo in the tank for Obama!

HA! Java – thats the best comment of them all!

Hmmm,
ABC says Mr. President was being carful with his footing.
CBS said this morning, that Mr. Obama was looking back to help the young lady behind him.
Haven’t heard what NBC is going to say…

What would you expect from All Barack Channel. Who looks back when trying to watch where they are walking so that stupid concept bites the dust. As far as helping that other girl he never even knew she was behind him until he stared at the young 16 year olds butt. He’s a slime just like all Democrats.

Yeah right.
In the same photo, Sarkozy is also watching the steps.
ABC news carries water for Obama.

LOL…SO WHAT?!
Yeah, he was lookin’ at her…but it was screamin’ at him! All ‘lat in a fitted hot pink dress for cryin’ out loud, lol.
More than was Obama lookin’ at this hottie’s ass, I wanna know why she wasn’t wearing any shoes? ;)

OK – so he may have looked, and he may have even enjoyed the look. A former Dem President lusted, and even another did much more than look. A Rep SC governor made a wrong turn while out nature walking and ended up in South America. And Barney’s boyfriend boasted a boy brothel from Barney’s basement. But I digress….
Both Dems and Reps are human and make mistakes. ABC will have news on another Republican misgiving at 10, again failing to cover real issues, continually spinning towards the left. When the media most needs to give us unbiased real news about the takeover in Washington, we get a puff piece about a cat finding it’s owners from 500 miles away, or a non-definitive picture of Lord Obama looking towards the (rather nice) backside of a young lass.
What bothers me most is when our elected representatives (BOTH SIDES of the aisle) look at our collective asses and then actually rape us over and over. We as loyal subjects smile and send more of our hard earned money to Washington so that the less fortunate ( read the lazy people) will continue to vote for having their representatives continue raping us. I don’t want that for my kids.

He was not checking that lady out. He clearly was looking at the ground. So what if he was…he’s only humasn and a man at that. Just because he’s the Pres. doesn’t mean he can’t be human. Whats the big deal????

Everyone pointing out that ABC would’ve ROASTED Bush if he were pictured checking out a 16 year old is correct. Problem is, conservatives need to realize that we don’t have the luxuries Liberals had during the Bush years. We need to focus on what this communist is doing to us and our country and not waste time with these trivial things.

Obama was right, during the campaign, when he asked, “Why are Republicans Proud of being Ignorant?”

Be fair. If you watch the video he clearly was not doing what this is alleging — he was looking back to help the lady behind him walk down the stairs. Be fair.

I can hear President Obama now… “I did not have eye contact with that young girl’s buttocks!” Ha!

Right, Like he wasn’t bowing to the the Saudi King either. Obama is more like Carter thatn I thought. Obvously he has lust in his heart for that hottie from Brazil.

I can’t help but think the words “Yes I can” went through his head at that point.
Honestly I don’t care about this. As I guy myself I know our eyes can wander off. Just happened to be bad timing for him. Good timing for the camera.

We ALL know if this were a Republican caught checking out a 16-yr old’s booty there would be stories about the growing number of pedophiles in this country. But when it’s a Democrat, it’s cool..no story..he was..uhm..looking where he was going. Yeah! That’s it! That’s the ticket. Whatever. Journalist = Liar. ’nuff said.

I have no problem with the President looking at a nice keister. The problem I have is that ABC seems it is their duty to clarify and protect him. THAT is the outrage. I am sure you would have done the same for a Republican President.

Obama has some testosterone!! He should use it more to standup to Pelosi!!

finally– i can defend this man– if he did look, so what– does being president mean your not human ??? now had it been a man’s butt, i would be worried–

What a greenhorn Obama is…I’m embarrassed.

“video clears Obama”
WOW ABC, you are are worthless, this is what passes for “objective reporting” now wonder the Messiah is at -8 approval today, the stupid sheeple have caught on to you /network news

The follow up explanations won’t matter. The memory of the original story, true or not, is what will remain in people’s minds. This is a classic drive by media assault.

Nice try Tapper. You can bet your behind that if this was a Republican president, you wouldn’t be providing such cover. Your bias reeks!

ABC is correct, President Obama is not “checking out” the young woman. But it is interesting to note that ABC does back flips to make sure that Obama is not unfairly judged. Not compare this to ABC’s Charlie Gibson interview of Sara Palin. ABC went overboard to make Palin look as bad as possible.

Hey wingnuts – showing the picture in context is not propoganda – its reporting. Look at the video and judge for yourself – don’t let Matt Drudge do the thinking for you.

A new ABC poll shows 97% of male Americans will look sideways to watch their step, especially when there’s a hot booty on the side.
A similar MSNBC poll shows 347% of Americans will do the same.

He was staring at her ass like it was a teleprompter. Ridiculous… why would he stare at a stair for so long.

While Obumster’s poll numbers are in free fall he needs something to cheer him up! and the physco Democrats are going to get thrown out of congress in 2010, just sit back and watch the show!

He was looking. So what? Sarkozy was leering. So what? Its a nice butt.

Much as I abhor Obama, I have to say it looks more like he was preparing to give a hand to the lady on his right as she descended than looking at the girls butt. As you watch, she move up one step but he doesn’t follow that movement as he’s paying attention to the lady on his right as she steps down. Besides the only thing really negative about this if it was true is the girl’s age and although I could tell she was young, I couldn’t have guessed her age from behind. I think we have more substantive criticisms of Mr. Obama than petty crap like this.

Gives new meaning to the term socialist

Yeah, sure. Excuses, excuses

Question: Did the WH have to call ABC to make up this CYA lie or did ABC do it on it’s own?

Whew, ABC got that cleared up quickly. I’m sure they would have done the same for George W…right? Right?

Interns in the Oval Office….YES I CAN!!

Funny how some people can only protect their idol by defaming someone else. Little minds do little things, I guess.

Barry could appoint someone from ABC as the Gander Tsar, and they could cut an infomercial on how to safely walk down a flight of stairs, being sure to check both left and right, and then maybe doing a little double-take while you’re looking right. Yep.

Barry should call Bill to find out if she is old enough to be an intern!

I’m not an Obama fan. But what the heck is all the fuss about? If he looked at her butt so what? It’s worth looking at. If I were there I’d have been doing the same thing Sarkosy did! Admiration comes in many forms.

Last time I looked at a step like that my wife smacked me.

Did they swap emails?

Couldn’t be more obvious he WAS NOT LOOKING.

Nice try ABC but you can’t worm your way out this time, he was looking at a 16 yr old bottom. If this were Bush you would want his resignation .

Notice how the video doesn’t show the French president smiling at P-BO while P-BO is looking at the South American chick’s behind — and who knows how much they clipped from the video — get real — ABC is definitely the All Barack Channel. It’s enough to make you want to switch the station. Click! One more note == someone making comments was talking about Republicans — Republicans are not conservatives — Bush was not a conservative — he was a moderate — BIG difference. But apparently there’s no difference for Democrats — all of them have wandering eyes. Who could be surprised?

He took his shot….if it were a Republican, you people would be all over it for the oogle!!! Give me a break, you are all such hypocrites. One of these days you are going to wake up and realize, this man is a fraud, liar, racist and perhaps the most divisive evil POTUS ever. He is destroying this country. Obviously, there are no journalist with integrity at ABC News.

Why do you always have to explain away Obama’s bad decisions? Get real with us and we may start watching regularly?

The community organizer is just expanding the organization of the community a little.

ABC reporting less than honest.

I agree because when I’m walking down stairs, I always turn my head to the side and watch where I’m NOT walking…oh brother…spin, spin, spin

Um – no, he wasn’t securing his footing, he was looking at her hind end!! Come on ABC, don’t be so blatant in your covering for him – he’s a guy… you know what he was looking at.

I like big butts and I cannot lie.

Suck up press tries to protect the Messiah – just don’t believe your lying eyes. Absurdity of argument inherent both in the fact that he is not looking down and ahead as one would were they worried about footing and fact that Sarkosy is looking at the same thing with a facial expression that says it all. It is amazing what suck ups these press apologists are.

yawn!!! after a week of mj and this i can’t wait for some real news. maybe this is why only 10 people watch you every .

I’ll have to remember that one next time my wife catches me looking. . . “C’mon Honey, I was looking that step. . .you know, like Obama.

Since when is looking at a woman wrong? Oh, I forgot, it’s Politically Incorrect. Well bite my butt! I still look at women and I KNOW women still WANT to have men look at them.
What the hell is wrong with us? When did people loose their minds?

I guess ABC stands for Apologists for Barack Channel.

Securing his step?. . .I think he was securing his stimulus package.

I would get bored too looking at a teleprompter all day.

I think it’s more obvious now what he was looking at. Your video didn’t help. Take it down!

What did they do? Photoshop the black woman further into the background? It is clearly the same scene, but the video does not even seem to include a frame to match the snap!

ABC:
After your B. Hussein Obama infomercial you have absolutely no credibility. So, really, who cares what you think and no one believes your contrived explanation.

I’m surprised no one has thought to ask the young lady about the incident!?
Personally I think she was either wearing a pretty skimpy thong or nothing at all in that awesome silky dress. Who wouldn’t bet she loved the idea that she caught the eye of such important men? After all, isn’t that what all healthy, attractive women want?! And you know Sarkozy has an eye for younger women,,,If women didn’t want to be checked out then they should wear less revealing clothing – how hard is that? But they do, and they don’t. IMHO.

ABC is in the tank for Obama, just Like CBS and NBC leads the way…So it is no suprize that they would take the low road and try to spin the obvious…Nice try Jake, but People are starting to see through you all!

Right…..watching his footing. Sure.

ABC cropped the video to make his leer look innocent. They protect Obama.

Obama certainly is the butt of a lot of jokes today. Baby Got Barack is my favorite!!!

Is there nothing ABC won’t cover up for this fraud?

Right… and “we’ve always been at war with Eastasia”. Nice how the press bends over backwards to defend Obama. He sure wasn’t looking where he was stepping and he wasn’t being the gentleman you where trying to portray. I also notice that you’ve sped up the video during that part and slowed it down after words to show the French President, making it appear that Obama’s glance was brief and the French President glared. Anyone who looks at the original video (all over the web) can see it unmodified and will see Obama’s stare is much longer than what you manipulated the video to make it appear.

He looked. What’s the big deal? There is no need to get worked up about it, since President Sarkozy did the same thing. There is also no need for ABC to try to make up some lame excuse. “He was watching his step..” PLEASE, at least you could have said something like “he thought he heard someone call his name, so he looked over in that direction.”

If anything, the video reinforces the impression I got from the still photo. You know Hillary saw the photo and said, Oh No, here we go again.

Whatever!

You can tell Obama is an experienced looker. . . .head not directly facing the booty, but eyes right one it. Great job, almost pulled it off. Sarkozy on the other hand. . .there’s just no hope for that guy.

THERE WAS A FLY ON HER ASS! He was just getting ready to swat it!

I am by no means a Obama apoligist, but it looks like he was looking over to help the other girl down the stairs. But a few observations…. It’s still a hilarious pic no matter what happened. ABC twists themself into a pretzil explaining though, checking his own footing? Are you kidding me, how many people look to the right when their feet are directly under them! Lastly if he did check her out, the only thing I would have a problem with is the fact that she is 16, I’m sorry I just don’t think checking a girl out is that offensive, as long as they are of age..

The original full photo is clear. Obama was clearly, unmistakably checking her out! He was not looking at the steps! But the photo used in this article by ABC has been cropped off at the bottom so that it is not totally clear as to what Obama is gauking at. If they had showed the full photo, which includes the steps he’s going down, you would see that he is not looking at the steps. Now, I don’t have a problem with Obama checking out the curves of a good looking girl. In fact, it is a rare moment of honesty for this president who is obsessed with controlling his fabricated image! What I have a problem with is the dishonesty of his aplologists in covering it up. Does ABC stand for the Apologists for Barach Club?

Yeah, sure, ABC. What a worthless excuse for a national leader. And I don’t mean Sarkozy.

Sarkozy was looking, and
Obama was looking!
Stop the media apologies, ABC!!!

Nobama the cravenly unctuous
Is ogling the something quite scrumptious
Which is why Ms. Michelle
Is now giving him hell
For acting so Europe-rambunctious.

Didn’t ABC show this yesterday in a different light?

If he was leading with his other leg I could concede the watching his step but who looks down to the right when stepping down with the left leg? If he actually looked back a the young lady he was helping down I could concede that he was helping her, but he never actually makes it back that far and fumbles at grasping her hand. Not what you expect from the leader of our country but I’m sure his wife will educate him on this, more scandalous is how ABC tries to cover for him.

Save it ABC, you and you news teams are worthless…..

Well, if I were walking down steps and watching where I was going, I would be looking straight down at my feet and not glancing upwards to the side… aimed at a young woman’s Gluteus Maximus. It seems the French President is amused at watching this whole scenario as he can see what is going on.

If ABC reports it, it must be true?! You people need to learn to trust ABC more then your own Eyes.

Isn’t ABC the official White House news agency,and even have shows that originate from the white House? So,when they defend Obama,just realize that they might be somewhat prejudiced………

Come on ABC…. unreal, “watching his step”? You could have covered better than that.

Thank goodness that ABC, the president’s press club, is there to save the world!
Who care’s???! Barry could use a bit of the ol’ Bill magic.

I didn’t care until ABC stepped in to defend him. Seriously pathetic.

I don’t think the liberals are the hypocrites here – the same conservatives who are acting like this is a blow to his integrity and ability to lead the country seem totally fine being represented by David Vitter, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Newt Gingrich, and a lot of other figures who did a lot more than ogle.
Ryan, when did any conservative ever say they were fine with what the aforementioned people have done? Every time they have resigned with conservatives saying that they should.

While its true that Drudge is demeaning their own reputation with this tabloid crap, ABC News has once again confirmed they are a pathetic shill for the administration and a third rate news organization, trotting subserviently behind the “alpha male” news breaker, hoping to live off the scraps. Pathetic!

Let’s see…Obama didn’t bow to the Saudi King, Brian Williams didn’t bow to Obama, Obama didn’t stare at the woman’s booty, Obama doesn’t want to run the auto companies, Obama doesn’t want to run healthcare, Obama doesn’t want to raise our taxes, Obama didn’t appoint tax cheats, Obama doesn’t want lobbyists in the administration…I hope the country gets tired of this sycophantic behavior of the media and many of their fellow citizens. We get it, he won, he wants to change our way of life…but we all don’t agree with it and wish to express such misgivings on where he’s taking our country in the arena of ideas with sound argument and debate…not ‘touchy, feely’ new age psychobabble.

I watched the video and yes he is looking at her butt. President Bush would have been skewered for something like that. If Zero took a dump at the podium, you lefties would say he was looking for his contact lens. You media lefties are such apes and so predictable. You all have chapped lips from kissing zero his so called fashion plate wife. Don’t leave out her $5000. alligator clutch bag. How much did they have to sacrifice for that? Did that mean she could only have one?

I’ll tell you this much. . .if I ever got caught looking at a step like that, my wife would smack me upside the head.

Leave it to ABC to immediately jump to Obama’s defense. If that had been Dubya, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN would have the president of NOW on camera 24/7 getting her take as to if he should resign from office.
Pathetic.

Tapper this is normal and innocent why do YOU have to lie.

I guess this proves he is human and not a “god” after all. I will now have to find someone else to “worship”. NOT!

Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?

give him a break, he may not know what he is doing to fix the economy, but boys will be boys.

This is the best thing the prez has accomplished in six months. Good “boty call” snap…

i think it was a miss judgement people!!! the media is always making things more than what they are I mean seriously!!! They were watching the stairs for they young Lady that OUR president was helping down!!! Lets get real preople Pictures capture the moment Video capture the truth!!!!

Here we go again, DrudgeReport sets up a link to ABC website. And all of these bigots Conservative comes over to make silly stupid racists comments. Hey Matt Drudge, tell your racists readers to leave their comments somewhere else like Fox News or Rush Limbaugh. It dooesn’t belong here on ABC.
What bigot and racist comments? As for the comments not belonging on ABC, who put you in charge, Dabear? I thought this webpost was for everybody. If you can go to a conservative website and bash President Bush and Republicans, then why can’t we do the same to President Obama over here?

Even if he did take a peek at least he didn’t gawk and disgrace himself and embarrass his wife.
My main beef with this video is ABC’s stepped up efforts to provide excuses. They never gave such passes to Bush. Way to go ABC… way to be fair!

I’m sure he wouldn’t have been “looking down” like that had it been Hillary or Nancy Pelosi passing by.

Stimulus Pack 2 (booty style)

Can’t blame the man for being human, but this booty is too young to be sneaking a peek. Reminds me of Lewinsky. But that’s another pervert and another story.

The president was on a higher step and was stepping down — Stepping into a big old pile of BS.
This isnt the first picture we have of Obama doing something like this and it wont be the last.

I doubt very much Obama was looking…he knows with the summit all eyes are on him…he doesn’t let his guard down too much…and lets be honest…if this is the worse thing he has done so far as president then the media is stretching a bit for a story…

When will you guys quit covering for Obama?

Umm, I’m a hardcore republican but I have to defend Obama as a man. Staring at a butt is what guys do. Big deal, lets talk about him destroying the economy…

Why did ABC edit the video. The source video showed Obama spent a lot of time looking at the butt, but this one has been sped up during that part. I guess we shouldn’t expect anything less from the All Barack Channel.

I’m an expert at looking at nice female butts, and I can tell you–so is Obama. Interesting that you refer to the 16 year old as a “woman” isn’t it? If she was 14, would she be a woman? If it was a Republican looking, would she have been a woman? The issue isn’t really whether or not it’s a big deal–the issue is the double standard.
If Clarence Thomas supposedly said there was a public hair on his Coke, it’s an unforgivable sin. If Bill Clinton engaged in exactly the kind of textbook sexual harassment he pontificated against by giving special favors to a young White House intern because he had a sexual relationship with her, it’s ‘nobody’s business” right?
And if George Bush was caught looking at a 16 year old girl’s butt?
Actually

Sort of like he didn’t bow to the Saudi king? C’mon ABC “news”, you can only spin (lie) so much.
He’s stepping with his left foot and looking back and to his right. He’s not looking at his foot, but her booty!
So what, he’s a man. Lots of men look at tushies. My tushy draws some stares, too. The glance was no big deal, what stinks is ABC trying to cover it up in some sudden show of phony morality.

Yea what a bunch of B.S. Look at the other person in the photo. I assume he was looking at Obama’s step too. ABC stop carrying Obama’s water. You have become a disgrace to honest journalism

Who ya gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?

wow ABC trying to cover for Obama in what is CLEAR he is doing. You can’t fool anyone ABC, it is CLEAR already

This issue with this article is not whether the Presidetn did anything “wrong,” he didn’t. silly maybe. The issue is the kneejerk reaction to defend him and say it didn’t happen.
Even if he didn’t do it, the fourth estate should in any good natured sense of opposition to power, at least give him a ribbing and not and immediate reaction to shield.

Watching his step? Really people….I mean whats next? Is the guy next to Barry watching “HIS” step too? She does have a nice asset, does she not? There is nothing wrong with his eye sight. Although she is only 17 by you can’t tell that from his angle now can you?

It is amazing the picture even got out with all the adoring media. It is totally amazing that he had time to look as he is telling the G8 countries that what they did was fine in the past, but they need CHANGE. And he will be their massiah. He is there to bring that change.

Okay ABC, notice the girl behind Obama who is about to step down the stairs. Now please tell us another lie

Either way, I found it interesting that a news agency would go this far to defend the President.For 8 years they slammed a President without giving any frame of reference or including the whole story on anything.Now, they are jumping at the chance to defend this President.Weird.

It doesn’t matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home.
On a more serious side, Obama should announce the formation of an independent, fully funded and fully empowered 9/11 investigation.
If he truly wants to stimulate the economy he needs to go back to March 10, 2000 when the NASDAQ peaked at 5040 and correct the criminal sabotage of fiber supported 1-160Gb/sec internet. Incentivize or announce government sponsored installation of fiber to every home and business and the economy would roar like it never has roared.

You’ve got to be kidding? Does ABC really have to cover this guy – it’s obvious what he’s doing. His feet aren’t to the right of him – really, stop playing his nanny. The guy is a disgrace to this country no matter what! Stop being his lapdog – you have little credibility anyway!

Of all the inconsequential things that are going on in the world, this has to rank No.1. I’m not even an Obama supporter
and I find it less than trivial. Can’t we
key in on more important things, how about Cap and Trade for a start.

Ok, he was looking at the step before he stept down. Come on. ha,ha,ha.

Well, she really does have a much nicer tush than Monica’s!
And Hillary sais to Bill, “Now that one I’d have understood.”
Jerry Lee Lewis sais, “She ain’t too young.”
ABC sais, “He was watching the steps..?”

It’s a sad day when you feel the need to defend a 47 year old letching at a 16 year old.

Oh, yes he did. Don’t even make an excuse that we wasn’t looking on the video. They both were!!! NO more excuses!!! he was looking at booty! Love the shot!

Back before the mainstream media in this country became liberal lap dogs your job was to report. Your leap to defend him is laughable.

One more barb. Being from Idaho, I can’t help but think that ABC is being coached on lame excuses by former Sen. Larry Craig. Now I know what he is doing these days.

You could have bet that conservative morons would take this photo completely out of context. You people are so transparent.

Let’s face it. We don’t have a news media in this country today.
ABC, CBS and NBC are just mouth pieces for Obama. I’m sure they coordinate the news with Rahm Emmanuel through Media Matters and John Podesta.
News is really corrupt. This media wants to protect the Obama agenda and they are shameless.

I do not like what Big O is doing politically but please if he was not looking I would be concerened.

Give me a break! – he’d clearly like to do to her what he’s doing to the country right now!

Obama gets caught checking out the merchandise and ABC gets busy doctoring video to get him off the hook.You must be worried over there that he won’t let Charlie Gibson fawn all over him anymore.Even funnier, is that his drooling zombies who post here blame it on Drudge.Just like the “vast right wing conspiracy” that got Clinton …ahem…involved with that Lewinsky woman.Too funny

Let’s face it. We don’t have a news media in this country today.
ABC, CBS and NBC are just mouth pieces for Obama. I’m sure they coordinate the news with Rahm Emmanuel through Media Matters and John Podesta.
News is really corrupt. This media wants to protect the Obama agenda and they are shameless.

Jake
The “Kool-Ade” has finally gotten to you along with all the other main stream media. Any fool can see that Obama is looking to the side and not down at his feet. Why not report “true” news and not something meet to defect criticism from the President? Lord knows you sure didn’t do that for President Bush. If this had been him you and your cronies would have been up in arms in critical reporting about it

why does abc have to lie about something so small. makes you wonder to what degree they lie on the bigger issues. he checked her out, get over it. the real news is how abc tries to cover it up by trying to suggest something else happened that is clearly not reality.

Obama has an ironclad threefold defense:
1) He is looking at the step
2) He has every right to look at her butt.
3) His looking is not the issue. It’s the Republicans that are the problem.
Feel free to notice these excuses in the posts below.

It is so obvious from the video that Obama is turning around to help the other girl down the stairs. The picture is totally unfair. I totally oppose Obama’s policies, but I very much appreciate his relationship with his wife and daughters. Unfair pictures like that are just trash.

Wow. ABC News feels a need to debunk this story? Journalism really is dead. Would they have gone to the trouble with anyone else, especially a Republican? Are these guys in charge of the reelection communications?

YOUNG “WOMAN”?
She’s 16. She’s a minor.
