Ok. This is disgusting. For a variety of reasons. Most notably because barry did it with the full intent of being photographed. He knew it would get published just like the one in PEOPLE where he was pictured topless - manboobs and all - coming out of the water...he wasn't quite parting the sea yet. He knew full well they were photographing him. He knew it would end up somewhere like it is now. He is not even commenting.
Perhaps the Japanese Ambassador could present him with a manssiere or a bullet-stopping miracle bra.
Caption: "Our new neighbor is hot."
Did he think twice about his daughters before he okayed this?
Or was he finding a way to thank Chris Matthews?
It comes down to one thing: decorum. He has none. Nor does Michelle. And neither think they need to acquire some. I wouldn't go so far as to say Elly May and Jethro, as the person did who shall remain nameless. But neither understands the gravity and dignity that must accompany the Office of the Presidency and position of First Lady.
Their lack was well on display during their coming out to the world, as well as throughout the last two years. Here are just a few.
Campaigning (too numerous to count):
Trashed the last Democratic President throughout. "Too busy" to call him. Still refuses to dispel the ridiculous notion that the former President and the former First Lady are racists. This a man who said he was going to transcend race in his politically expedient speech.
Allowed Rep Clyburn (on more than one occasion) to insinuate that former President of the United States is "crazy" and then completely disrespected Mr Clinton by telling him "to chill".
Allowed Rep Lewis to compare Former POW Senator John McCain - both heroes in different wars - to George Wallace.
Soundly criticized President Bush for "campaigning" while he was giving a speech in Israel. Even if he was - he wasn't (just like none of barry opponents were racist and no one yelled "Kill Him!") - Bush was the POTUS representing The American People on the world stage and what barry did was entirely uncouth.
And he has the nerve to whine about what Cheney is doing? How often did barry make fun of what a terrible job President Bush did?
What goes around comes around, especially in Washington.
First trip:
Releasing his Wailing Wall note to the press - before it was "stolen". Then not speaking up.
Taking questions from the French audience like he was a head of state and not merely a candidate, who hadn't even been nominated yet.
REPREHENSIBLE: Chose not to see out brave troop lying in a hospital on foreign soil and then blamed it on the Pentagon and Sen McCain.
Transition:
Ever respectful, barry joked about a genuinely graceful woman well-versed in etiquette: "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances." Maybe not, but Michelle should watch some of Mrs Reagan's footage as First Lady and learn a few things.
Rudely asked to move into Blair House and then were outraged when they were told no.
POTUS:
Awkwardly shook the Marine's hand who was standing guard by Marine One.
Waved instead of saluting the war veterans he had just awarded the Medal of Honor.
Dismissively and without explanation sent back Churchill's bust, which was given to President Bush as a sign of unity after 911.
Didn't properly welcome Prime Minister Gordon Brown to the White House with the official 2-flag photo op as per protocol. Brown was given a rushed meeting because barry was "tired". Two months in?
Presented the tackiest of gifts: DVD's and Michelle gave the children plastic toy Marine One helicopters.
Official First Lady photograph shows just the side of Mrs Brown's face.
Compares his bowling skills to the Special Olympics and never apologizes or is held accountable.
Second trip:
Refused to visit Normandy Cemetary.
Called the press "foreigners" when he was the foreigner.
Dodged their questions because he wasn't prepared.
Made fun of the female Indian reporter's pride in her Prime Minister.
Says nothing about North Korea's missile launch.
Who among you thinks barry could have reacted if that was headed at the US? How would he have reacted? Let me talk with Kim Jung-Il?
Third trip:
Shook hands and grinned like a stoner with a tyrant who called our previous president "The Devil".
Smiled and laughed during a 45 minute tirade against the country and the people he is representing - without voicing a single word of rebuttal. 100% inexcusable and has nothing to do with "diplomacy" his naive version or any other.
And through it all he defiantly insists he did nothing wrong and lets his press secretary lie for him. Not just deny - LIE.
Who couldn't see that was a full bow? Pix & Video
And it also demonstrates the media's ongoing pathological love affair. It is the creepiest thing I've ever witnessed and it still hasn't gone sour no matter the gaffes he continues to make. No matter how he panders and no matter how he disrespects our allies and/or The American People.
He is fond of saying "it's not about him".
These last two trips have proven it is all about him and his need for adoration.
==========================
Words from the appropriately named Washingtonian Editor - GARRETT GAFFE: via CNN.
But Garrett Gaffe, editor-at-large for the magazine, told CNN the picture is appropriate because, "our feeling was that this wasn't an ordinary presidency."
"The Obamas, through their involvement in Washington, are helping to showcase just how exciting it is to be in Washington right now" he said. "We use the word 'hot' tongue in cheek with the photo."
"He is a buff president that the paparazzi enjoy taking photos of," said Gaffe.
And he more than obliges them. How many photo shoots has he had in the last two years?
And, of course, when "contacted by CNN, the White House declined to comment on the magazine's cover".
By not commenting, they commented.
