VIDEO ANALYSIS

Obama Is Not a Horndog; Sarkozy, Well ...

By M. Morris| Posted Jul 10, 09 4:02 PM CDT|

(Newser) – A video of President Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy at yesterday's "Junior 8" G8 event has Matt Drudge and his buddies in a lather, but it's not quite as incriminating as a still photo makes it out to be, John Cook blogs for Gawker. "We undertook a Zapruder treatment" that exonerates Obama in the Case of the Surreptitious Check-Out, he writes.

Cook's painstaking breakdown reveals that:

The apparent object of his attention "was not in Obama's field of vision prior to the initiation of his head-turn," which means he wasn't "turning his head to get a better look."
To see "what it looks like when someone takes a gander of a lady's ass," the person to concentrate on is Sarkozy, not Obama.
The key conclusion: "The photograph appears to show Obama craning his neck to check out Woman B's ass, when in fact the moment is a chance alignment of ass and visual field that any man knows as a freebie."

This guy is so odd that the media comments. A surreptitious ass check is as normal as an itchy testicle. As usual, if you're gipping the left cliff or gipping the right, you never see what's going on in the plain.

I never got into American Idol mostly because of the idiots that were planted in the field of contestants. They were there just to be targets of ridicule making us "superior" people feel good about ourselves. Corona King has planted himself here in a similar way. ................ I don't understand why you people keep reading his messages. Why not just give him a "thumbs down" and move on to posters who might actually have something meaningful to say? The guy needs help, not more attention.

Shona- that is the best thing about commenting, ever. Unhappily, I admit that you are sooo right. I lazily comment on everything while I'm working. Thankfully I work for myself but even myself should be more focused.

To Queen Alli: Thank you. you are a true wonder and I am proud to even know you in this limited fashion. As to CK, he is a waste of space, as he proves each time his teen fingers type. CK quit reciting your Dads philosophy on life and go experience it so you have real knowledge on how things truly are. Obama is the first DECENT HUMAN to sit in behind that desk in 8 years. Get over it.

Tons of men AND women check out certain areas of the opposite sex as the stroll along, to be frank I honestly do NOT CARE, now if he were checking out a small boy with a lustful look? That would have bearing, besides, I saw the video footage and he wasn't doing a thing out of line. Now the other guy, yea...he did get carried away I think Reply

Yeah, he's French, The French thrive on sex like we thrive on knowing stuff. I remember when Kissinger was banging Jill St John and everybody was wondering what was up with that. He said, "Power is the greatest aphrodisiac." I think that works on wives as well as girlfriends. I think that Obama is a happy man indeed.

There is a pretty good chance he was checking out that young lady's (rather fine) ass. SO WHAT? Seriously, they guy has spent a day in a meeting about global economics... a sight like that on the way out is just a welcome treat. He's not hitting on here. He's not getting blown in the Oval. He's doing what 100% of men do the whole world over...... I get holding our 'leaders' to a higher standard, I do. But if we hold that bar too high, there is no chance anyone will achieve the goals we set them. Reply

Wow did no one even watch the video reflected in the picture? The President walked down the stairs turned in the same direction of the passing woman, and extended his arm out for the woman he knew was walking down the stairs on his right. Way to much drama in your life if you have to make it out to be more than it is. Reply
