Barack Obama looking at a...successful G-8 summit?

Obama-italy_l Ever since Drudge posted this snap of President Obama and French president Nicolas Sarkozy at the G-8 summit seemingly caught in the midst of checking out a girl's behind, the photo's been burning up the Internets. Good Morning America even turned to the video this morning and broke it down so carefully you'd have thought it was the Zapruder film. Their conclusion: Obama was likely looking down and reaching back to help another woman down the steep stairs. Hmm, maybe. But what's Sarkozy's excuse? Cochon!

Funny photo, though, right?

    I know Obama’s OUR president and he’s closer, but to me Sarkozy is the star of the photo.
    Apparently he’d been checking out that backside so long, that he needed the aid of his arms and legs for his “Things that make you go, Hmmmm” expression. (Actually, it’s more like “Things that make you go, oooohhh”.)
    I’m surprised “GMA” didn’t track down this girl and do a satellite interview segment with her.

    I love the video. Sarkozy’s definitely gonna hear about it from his wife.

  • So what?

    Even if Obama did check out her butt, who cares? He may be POTUS and married, but he’s not dead!!! And that young lady has a lot worth looking at. Sarkozy knows the French could care less about something so stupid, so he did what came naturally to him. No wonder the whole world laughs at us.

    Obama may be our president – but he was a man first. The only person he should have to answer to on this is his wife.
    Clinton would’ve gotten the digits though.

    This photo is very deceiving. lol If you go to tmz and watch the actual footage he is just looking back to help the other woman down the steps. But this is pretty funny.

    American media is disgusting. Why defend Obama and convict Sarkozy? President Obama did look at her even though fleetingly. This is apparent no matter how many times you watch the video. Pls media stop the spin.

    Here’s the full video of the encounter that (sort of) gets Obama off the hook:

    He is only human, it’s the natural thing to do.
