I’m no fan of O-bum-a however this “butt-ogling” story is a load of contrived nonsence.

Having said that the cry-babies on the left have no business complaining too heavily about the right trying to nail some inaccurate bullshit on him. After the concerted effort they made to stick outright lies on Sarah Palin (e.g. convincing each other that she said “I can see Russia from my house”, book-burnings, etc) then they should be able to take some of their own medicine.

How does the saying go? Whats good for the goose……..

So even though it’s complete nonsence then officially I’m absolutely convinced by the photo that Obuma is a dirty old man who wants himself some young Brazilian ass.

If I thought looking at some booty would turn Obama into Clinton, I’d personally arrange the booty parade. Bill Clinton understood the economy and cared about employment…other than his own. I sure hope ObamaGirl did not see that picture…what will she do to win his attention back?

Jul 14, 2009 - 3:56 am 4. kywrite:

That picture of Obama was the first one I ever liked of him — it proves he’s human! and the look on Sarkozy’s face, like a couple of frat boys checking out a hot chick. Just beautiful.

Jul 14, 2009 - 3:58 am 5. David Thomson:

Barack Obama is probably innocent of the charge of booty checking. Sarkozy is the leering pervert. Obama was only making sure of his steps on the stairs. Our rapidly marginalized president deserves a lot of criticism—but not this time.

Tony R,

Had a dose of vindictiveness this morning? Straying away from the true conservative tenet, huh? To heck with integrity and fortitude, right? The more we are trying to get away from this whole tabloid pop politics so we can focus on the real issues, it seems like some people, not only subconsciously admitting to their moral bankruptcy, now they are even consciously touting to such flaw in character. Shady characters like our pseudo comedian Fleming are killing the conservative movement.

I’m with @1 Tony, Not a fan in any way, shape, or form, of our current chief executive, but this issue is a complete non-issue and I frankly think it makes conservatives that traffic in it look bad. Why are we trying to make up something when every day there is a new assault on our freedoms, liberty’s, and check books? It makes us look petty. Please drop it.

This article is meant to be tongue-in-cheek? Isn’t it?

The photo was hilarious–just shows how careful you have to be when in the public eye.

This is turning into a disturbing pattern for the young, untested president. If he can be so easily led astray by a few posterior aspects of foreign teens, what will happen when he is allowed to mingle with girl scouts and young feminists of America?

The president is a role model. Is Mr. Obama sending the message that the economy is beyond repair, so we may as well all revert to our animal core behaviors? Did anyone else notice BO sniffing as the young women passed by?

Perhaps the stress of his ongoing string of policy failures is beginning to cause him to be distracted easily. Is the situation so bad that it affects his ability to govern? I hardly see how he could be worse, but it is possible.

Photographers: keep your lenses aimed at BO.

Jul 14, 2009 - 6:27 am 13. Fast Eddie:

So wait…

…the MSM is rushing to prove that Chairman O. is not a real man for checking out what appears to be a truly fine bottom by spending a pot of money and as many hours to analyze the video feed frame-by-frame. Yet they can’t be bothered to notice he has spent over $2,000,000 dollars to hide a $15 birth certificate?

I’m just sayin…

#18 Ernie,

It’s the only thing I remembered from English 1-A at UCLA. That and “Southern Plural”. You know, 1st person plural is “y’all” and 3rd person plural is “all y’all”.

Jul 14, 2009 - 6:57 am 20. Harvey:

For those confused by Frank’s style, it’s best described as “a right-wing satire of a left-wing parody of a right-wing pundit”.

And the point of this piece is not that he thinks Obama is a butt-ogler (although even ABC admitted that the video was inconclusive), it’s a veiled mockery of the gleeful-yet-substanceless left-wing media pitbulling of Sarah Palin.

Off-topic – Evon, I find your use of the word “we” a little odd, since your sneeringly derisive use of the phrase “the true conservative tenet” tells me that you’re not a conservative.

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:10 am 21. RA:

You know he has an eye out for the ladies with that Jabba The Hutt he’s married to. I wonder how much free time he gets on these trips and is the oval office off limits to Michelle? lol

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:17 am 22. Mike W.:

Such baloney. Don’t even begin to compare President Obama to Ensign or Sanford.

Even Fake News’ own Greta Van Susteren says that Obama wasn’t looking.

Sanford fled his state, abandoning his repsonsiblities to his constituetns and his family, ignoring 15 calles from his Chief of Staff, so he could cheat on his wife.

Ensign nailed his best friends wife after promising in writing that he wouldn’t. Then he got his parents to pay the Hamptons hush money.

I think the really pathetic thing here is that instead of trying to clean up their own filthy house, the GOP is grasping for anything it can to just point fingers back at the Dems and say “See, they’re sleazy too!!”

But this was the best they could some up with … a photo that may or may not show the president looking at a female. What a joke the GOP has become.

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:25 am 23. Erik of Dale:

It occurs to me that this is actually a non issue that is being set up as a distraction to the real issue on hand this week which is the nomination of the racist sotomajor to the supreme court. She is already lying her ass off with her statements about how she will strictly interpret the constitution when her actions, words and deeds for the past decade are the opposite. She is getting high praise from democrats and criticism from republicans but will still get her place on the supreme court much to the dismay of Americans who still believe that justice should be blind. Well anyway that young lady sure does seem to have a fine body.

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:26 am 24. Meryl:

21 Erik of Dale….and there’s probably not much chance that Col. obama will be ogling Sotomayor any time soon!

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:31 am 25. JKB:

It’s obvious we have the keep him away from those European boys. They are just to fast and a bad influence.

I read where the young woman was self-conscious and never wore dresses. Well, this should get her out of her dress. Oh, wait, that didn’t come out right.

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:41 am 26. Frank:

It’s clear from the comments that satire goes over some peoples heads. He writes for IMAO for pete’s sake.

RE: Sarkozy

….with French President Nicolas Sarkozy staring at a girl’s backside…. — Frank J.

I think that Sarkozy is REALLY looking at Obama leering at the girl. His head is not oriented towards the girls derriere. It’s oriented at Obama.

And WHO is that Black woman immediately behind Obama? Is that Michelle, looking down at the deep step she’s going to have to take? If it is, she missed the ’scene’….until it showed up on Drudge.

Nah. The GOP is just having a little fun. Some comic relief. Conservatives need it with all the stuff that’s been going on. I do think this is “tabloid stuff” that shouldn’t have been on Fox News but I’m not going to fret about it. BTW. Democrats are told to drink the Kool-Aid in order to “clean up their own filthy house”. Democrats never seem to understand that the religious right is only one part of a very multi-faceted GOP.

To the commenters like Evon, Bill Menge, etc.:
Please turn on brain function when reading articles on this site. Any time Frank J. is the author, it is all humor and satire, and the more numbnuts that can’t tell the difference between satire and the real thing, the better job he’s probably doing as a writer. Just the fact that Harvey had to comment in his defense is itself a sad commentary…
Go visit Frank’s site to get the idea of what’s going on if you find yourself puzzled. Really, we don’t mind you educating yourself and catching up a bit before gushing in the comments. I’m not being cruel, I’m simply pro-education! I think conservatives should be supportive of liberals raising their intellect above that of the lower and middle primate classes, in addition to the standard, feel-good method of punching their dumb monkey faces.

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:05 am 35. Paul from Hamburg:

First, in order to keep this discussion sophisticated, we need to learn a new word: “callipygian”.
Second, we need to conduct an empirical test to determine Obama’s tendencies. I am going to send an e-mail to the president with the subject line “Oprah in a thong”. If I get a read receipt, we’ll know the photo was no accident.

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:07 am 36. Saltherring:

Frank @ 26: Yes indeed, if Mike W (#22) powered up that massive mind of his, I’ll bet he could damn near light a refrigerator bulb.

kywrite @ 4: Agreed. Leering at a nice butt is the first sign I’ve seen that this metrosexual president somewhat resembles American manhood.

and finally LeighB @ 3: the only employment Bill Clinton understood and cared about was his own.

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:21 am 37. Veeshir:

Now I’m all confused, I thought this was satire, but it might be parody but Harvey up there claims it’s satire of a parody.

Oh, and there is one egregious misspelling I have to correct, you misspelled ‘Frnak’.

There’s a video of the event, which some conspiracy theorists are claiming is doctored, but their explanation for the differences in the positions of the people at the event doesn’t take into account the difference in the angle of the photo as compared to the video. Anyway, watch for yourself, decide for yourself. Either he was oogling or he was assisting the lady behind him. Your call.

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:45 am 42. Rose Ann:

Shouldn’t someone as smart as Obama be able to do both simultaneously?

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:56 am 44. AThinkingPerson:

Wonder if the “booty” in the picture that Obama was oogling has found the trap door under the desk in the oval office yet? Sure didn’t take Monica long to find it. Funny how only the Democratic presidents have a key to it. Kennedy? Clinton?

Jul 14, 2009 - 10:08 am 45. Noga:

Do you remember the Seinfeld episode “The Shoes” in which George is caught leering in the direction of a young woman’s appealing cleavage? It nearly costs him and Jerry the chance of a pilot, since the leeree was none other than the producer’s teenage daughter.

George gets a chance to explain to offended dad:

“GEORGE: Oh…uh, because if it had anything at all to do with what you perceived as me leering at your daughter, I really have to take issue with that. I did not leer. Did I leer?

JERRY: No leer.

GEORGE: Because, if I’m looking straight ahead, and something enters my field of vision, that’s merely a happenstance.”

Larry David had a special Curb Your Enthusiam episode on the issue of ogling women’s derrieres. You should all look it up, to see how it could happen, quite innocently.

#43 Paul from Hamburg: He can only multitask like that if his teleprompter is there to tell him: “reach behind you to assist the woman on the next step up while simultaneously directing your gaze towards the gauzy material shrouded derrier.” Then he could do both.

Between the two photos of Obama and Sarkozy, you would think SNL could come up with a “Wild and Crazy Guys!” skit.

Jul 14, 2009 - 10:45 am 48. white helmet:

a thinking person at 44: You’re just jealous: it would have done Nixon wonders to have had an affair; the only people mad at him would be people who always worry that someone might be having a good time somewhere. What harm would it have done? Ditto Bush 1 and Bush 2. So all Obama does is maybe look and you’re all aflutter over the past human behavior of Clinton and JFK. Democrats are just more manly.

Jul 14, 2009 - 11:22 am 49. Ms. Attitude:

48. white helmet: Democrats aren’t more manly. If cheating is manly then there are plenty of manly men on both sides of the aisle.

It is fascinating what the wingnuts will stoop to. Does it matter that it was a lie- nope, not with the wingnuts. All this nonsense is furhte revidence why they will remain a tiny minority along with those who believe in aliens and that the CIA was behind the Kennedy assasination etc. I am struck also by the similarity in their thinking with the thinking of the terrorists. The US is behind the demonstrations in Iran. Interesting bedfellows!

Re #48 white helmet: I’m just jealous of philandering democratic Presidents? That has to be the most juvenile pronouncement I’ve ever heard.

As for democrats being “more manly”. George W. Obama has to be the most metro-sexual TOTUS we’ve ever had. If JCrew carried man-purses I’m sure he’d lug his teleprompter around in one.

Ms Attitude at 49: Yes there are, aren’t there?! But republicans robustly condemn it, then do it, but hide it (or as in the scase of Sanford, can’t shut up about it–like it was his first time), but none of them are as robuts as JFK or clinton. All of them seem to be emotional cripples–er-disabled people. So as I said, dems are more manly.

Salthering at 50: I don’t mind the gays having their fun, but you should ask your “Senator in a stall,” from Utah, the master of stall to stall communications. The dems (JFK/Clinton/Spitzer)seem to confine their scandals pretty much to women (Barney Frank being the exception)=Democrats are more manly.

A Thinking about Obama or Clinton Person at 52: I think you’ve a lot of pent up anger at the docile republicans. The Obama is younger, fitter, has great kids and guess what? He won the presidency! And from a republican field of one old guy, one guy with good hair and one Sanford in waiting who can’t shut up or stop weeping. (and you’re making fun of Obama?). Sarah Palin has more testoserone than all the other GOP candidates. Obama swept from behind and raised more money, spoke better, communicated better and won. He’s exercing control while the republicans try to find their feeble footing and can’t. =Dems are more manly.

Jul 14, 2009 - 12:09 pm 55. ramsis:

I think Sarkozy felt a little sorry for Barack, since Sarkozy has problaby the HOTTEST first lady on the planet and Obama has to go home to what looks like Shaq in a wig.

Isn’t a wingnut some kind of hardware fastener? I think it’s the piece that literally holds it all together. If not for that wingnut, the screw would pop right out and the object would just fall all apart.

It’s good to be a wingnut.

This particular wingnut, however, does not believe in aliens, or that Kennedy was offed by the CIA. Truly, he was killed by a gun, because everyone knows: people don’t kill people – GUNS kill people.

All that being said, even if Obama really was checking out some mighty fine under-age ass, big deal. At least it shows he’s human and not some pre-programmed Cylon. Besides, his gaze is really secondary to Sarkozy’s oogle. In this situation, Obama was completely upstaged.

Jul 14, 2009 - 1:08 pm 61. Pervy Grin:

Re #48 white helmet: When Jimmy Carter was running for president he got in trouble for admitting that he “lusted in my heart”. So SNL did a skit with Dan Ackroyd as Carter appealing to elect Democrats because they were “lusty, zesty men” who get things done. He went on about FDR, JFK, and LBJ’s affairs, and said that “not much is known about Harry Truman, but I’m sure his wife was one satisfied customer”. He finished by promising that if elected president, he looked forward to “deeply satisfying” all of us. Can someone find this on You Tube? I’m blocked at work.

It really doesn’t matter what I think, it’s what Michelle thinks, and boy, I would hate to be in Barry’s shoes if she doesn’t find any humor in this situation. She looks like she could really pack a punch!

Why liberals insist on talking about George W. Obama’s physical attributes (or lack thereof) and not his policies (or lack thereof) is quite telling. Ghetto swagger vs. 10% unemployment? Hmmmm ….. which one will MSNBC (and the liberal moonbats) talk about? Any guesses? Anyone? Anyone?

You’re right about one thing, Sarah Palin probably does have more testosterone than the entire democratic party! Of course seeing as how not one person in the democratic party seems to be packing a set, that’s not saying much now is it?

Ms Attitude at 58: I can’t very well get into a fight with you if you’re going to make me laugh; please be sure to respond without humor. Everyone seems to be in a good mood today: even Pelto is being relatively civil.

Pervy Grin @ classic! reminded me of the Bassomatic skit as well;

A Thinking Person @ 67: I bet if I put Spitzer, Edwards and even tubby old Ted Kennedy on one side there’d be more lechery and verve than on the prim side of Mitt (what self respecting man goes by “Mitt”?) Rommney and Weepy “Oh I did it and I’m so sorry but it was my soulmate” Sanford. The republicans would need Palin to even out that match.

As far as policies go, Obama’s just doing what Bush did–only more of it and faster. More debt mostly. Bt look on the nright side: Obama’s raising taxes to pay for things instead of borrowing.

Jul 14, 2009 - 3:18 pm 72. Deep Brain Diarist:

And what’s with all the “teleprompter” gags? Surely you realize that Bush used one, so did Clinton, so did Bush Sr., so did Reagan, so did Carter, so did Ford and so did Nixon.

Again — why is it necessary for our friends on the right to paint THEIR PRESIDENT in such a false and unfavorable light?

Did you read the Palin piece on Obama in WaPo? If this article makes you unhappy that one will make your head explode. Liz Cheney is considering a political run. Imaagine, Cheney’s daughter in political office. She worked in Homeland Security think what she could do in the CIA.

President Obama’s reaction when things don’t go his way:

75 Donna V: JFK, Gary Hart, Clinton, Spitzer, now prim dims from the gop are all over Obama because he allegedly looked at a girl’s backside….Its as if the republicans have succumbed to all that preachy “men are oppressors” rhetoric from NOW. And BTW, what “manly men” do the republicans have except “sobbing sanford” and ….and….

Jul 14, 2009 - 4:14 pm 80. Deep Brain Diarist:

Yup! Love those “manly” Republicans like Larry Craig.

Michelle’s ass is the size of a mac truck. Who could blame him for looking at ass that is height-weight proportionate. Who cares anyway. I despise him but give me a break. She was a beautiful woman and we all look when faced with something pleasing to the eye. I hate to say it but cut him some slack. I really can’t believe I am defending him but come on we have bigger fish to fry with this jerk. I am more worried about him destroying our country.

Jul 14, 2009 - 5:18 pm 82. Matt:

Do your homework! There is video out there that CLEARLY shows he was not looking at her booty.

#81 Noreen has summed up the entire article avec comments quite nicely. Thanks Noreen for cutting through the BS and getting right to the heart of the matter. I vote we wrap up the jokes on this tawdry matter and wait for George W. Obama’s next gaffe.

re: “checking his steps”, after he’s already gone over them? hmmm… O.K.!

Jul 14, 2009 - 7:27 pm 87. Delia:

I really don’t want to know what the mental midget DohBama is ‘turned on’ by and if he checks out some fine, round bootay of a CHILD…hmmmm.

NEXT!

#77 Sebastian Shaw: LOLOL!! Shame on you. But since you offered, here’s another: Ostriches … you gotta admire the guy’s tenacity, though… he just keeps plugging away!

Chuck: Not that it really matters, but I really do think the freeze frame caught him looking down, not at the pretty girls hiney. Believe me – the last thing I would ever want to do is defend the TOTUS, but in this, I think he’s probably cleared of all charges. But as you said, Sarkozy’s reaction is priceless. That he actually leaned over behind Obama to check out the girl’s rump is hilarious. I have to wonder what she thinks of all this brou-ha-ha? If she even knows about it.

Again, not like it matters. It’s not as though any one of us in here doesn’t appreciate a nice looking booty now and then.

Jul 14, 2009 - 8:41 pm 89. Dohtimes:

Let’s face it, unless BHO got all Linda Blair with a head spin the only thing he was checking out was his ginormous ears.

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:10 pm 90. Jeff:

Got to tell you. I dislike Obama passionately. However, just because your on a diet doesn’t mean you can’t look at the menu. Let him leer. Okay with me. If I was in his shoes, I might leer a little too. Sarkozy was measuring her for pajamas.

Jul 14, 2009 - 9:27 pm 91. Pam:

Not a fan of Obama’s at all but if you watch the video, he actually is helping someone down the stairs behind him. It’s just a still shot that’s misleading.

REe #35/ Paul from Hamburg: [...] First, in order to keep this discussion sophisticated, we need to learn a new word: “callipygian”. [..]

caption for the photo… whats the age of consent here? anyone think michele looks like aunt Ester in Sanford and son. Big O broke a man rule. don’t gawk use peripheal vision. so buster

Jul 14, 2009 - 10:47 pm 95. john from cinncinatti:

just saw the video. yeah he did, busted. help the girl behind him,eyes up. take it back he didn’t gawk, and he did use peripheal vision. here let me spin it a little more he was making sure there was nothing the girl behind him might trip on, yeah thats it.he cleared the spot with his x-ray vision……

Jul 14, 2009 - 10:58 pm 96. Debt Consolidating:

it is a still shot that is misleading

Jul 15, 2009 - 7:07 am 97. I never said a bad word about Reagan:

Well now, if the comedians are not going to take the opportunity to point out the humor in this photo, you certainly should.
Can you imagine what the Media would have done to Clinton in a picture like this one?
This is hillarious Mr. Fleming, and I laughed out when you used the word horndog.

Jul 15, 2009 - 7:42 am 98. I never said a bad word about Reagan:

He has managed to confuse me once again, because I thought he likes his women big boned.

Jul 15, 2009 - 8:14 am 99. Kevin:

Democrat men more manly?

Aside from the fact that the phrase “Democrat man” is an oxymoron, one should compare Obama’s pitiful attempts to pitch a baseball at last night’s All-Star game to Bush’s perfect fastball strike in the 2001 World Series.

Actually, dems ARE more manly . . . I mean, come on; would YOU get in the ring with Boxer, Pelosi, or Hillary??

Jul 15, 2009 - 10:04 am 101. DesertElephant:

Okay, two things:

1. Anyone that doesn’t understand that Frank is a humorist, out of the Pool. You’re making Conservatives look exceedingly retarded with your sub room temperature IQ’s and complete inability to grasp a point.

2. Anyone that thinks that we shouldn’t turn the left’s tactics back on them with a vicious, angry and righteous vengeance, out of the pool. You’re too pusillanimous, weak-kneed and also stupid to contribute anything meaningful to the cause. If you think that the last election was won on facts, or that Undecided voters aren’t the epitome of ignorance and willful stupidity, you naivete will just get the Movement tanked.

So, if you fit in groups number 1 or 2, get the hell out of my Conservative Pool. The gene pool too if you’d please. I’d rather you not breed and spread your contagious idiocy.

Jul 15, 2009 - 10:07 am 102. Brutus:

No Brain Diarist, I choose to be like the Code Pink whackos and every other moonbat I have to deal with up here in Massachusetts by using the same words THEY used for the last 8 years: “NOT MY PRESIDENT!”

Shadow, just because the media constantly harps on a meme doesn’t make it so. Shelly is NOT and attractive woman to the vast majority of men. As Sir Mix-A-Lot said, baby got back, and TOO much of it. And given her weenie husband, I’m pretty sure who is on top…

FWIW, I don’t much care if Obambi checks out a pretty girl. I always thought, again, given who he’s married to, he had no interest in girls!

Have to agree . . . when The First Obambi unveils Thunder & Lightning, I can’t help but wonder how many times she’s whooped The One upside his head with them . . . “Barry you better put that cigarette out right this minute WHAP BAM SMACK!”

Jul 15, 2009 - 1:19 pm 104. Charles R. Williams:

Put the worst possible interpretation on the photo. It’s no big deal. So a pretty, immodestly dressed girl turns the president’s head. Yawn. It’s a sign that the great Messiah is a normal man – something we all should have guessed.

You wouldn’t find Richard Nixon in a photo like that. But I don’t think that tells us anything good about Nixon.

Mrs. Obama, BTW, is a most attractive woman (physically that is). I would rather have Sarah Palin over for dinner though.

Jul 15, 2009 - 1:20 pm 105. Strawman:

Show of hands. All of you jumping up and down and screaming “he didn’t do it”. Did Sarah Palin try to ban books? Did she make rape victims buy their own test kits? Did she say she can see Russia from her house? Did she fake her pregnancy? Etc.?

C’mon. Be honest. You know you wannna. Let it all hang out.

I’ve helped a LOT of people down from deep ’steps’ in my military career. And I’ve not had to check out some child’s derriere in order to do that.

Obama is OBVIOUSLY looking at the 16-year old’s back-side. NOT the steps.

And Sarkozy is checking-out Obama’s checking out.

Cute article. Pure comedy, not satire (other than in a very broad sense, satirizing the way politicals all seize on any and all trivia and try to make it significant?) but fairly humerous naetheless.

For those taking this seriously… come on. Really?

I guarantee that my eye-line will cross someone’s butt dozens of times a day. Some of them will probably be children or men or small animals. That doesn’t indicate that I desire any of those categories, just that given that (like all normal humans) I look in every direction, all the time, at some point you could take “incriminating photos” of me “looking right at the marsupial’s pouch.”
Erm.

Give a freaking break! The men here behave like Desperate Housewives. A man is a man regardless if he is a factory worker, barista, President or religious minister. Looking at an attractive girl is a natural reaction. Pajamers sound like jealous high school girls. They apparently can handle guns, but they can’t handle women.
