You look at something like this, and after a while…
…you almost just have to shrug. This is who President Barack Obama is. He doesn’t know any better, and he doesn’t want to learn any better, and there’s nothing that we can really do about it before November of 2012 except work around him, somehow. Anyway: sorry, world. We don’t often go off the deep end in this country, but when we do I have to admit that the results are pretty spectacular, in an ‘epic disaster’ sort of way.

He is after all the most intelligent, capable, self confident, and important person in the room. He was nice enough to let those losers join him in the photo-op, so why shouldn’t he wave to his fans?

stevend Wednesday, September 21st at 1:40PM EST (link)Let’s be real here. This is probably one of many photos taken in preparation for a final photo. I can count 10 people who aren’t looking at the camera or ready for a photo. Please, let’s stick to the real issues.
Really
jeffstag Wednesday, September 21st at 2:00PM EST (link)Because its a photo op, there’s no single picture, but a series of them taken by many photographers. All you have to do is stand there and smile for a few minutes and keep your hands down. It’s pretty simple. There’s no single photographer, so you don’t need to be looking directly at any specific camera. That being said, the most interesting thing to me is that the link tankes you to MSNBC of all people making fun of the president. Again, MSNBC making fun of the Democratic President. He’s in serious trouble.
No, thanks.

nepanyrush Wednesday, September 21st at 10:58PM EST (link)I looked at the full picture and only counted Obama and the women looking at him that were not posing for a picture, and even Obama was focused on the camera and the women seemed as if thrown off by his idiocy. Yet you stated you count 10 people? Really? Really? Please identify which 10 people you could possibly be talking about.

I found this in a biography about James Monroe who was his ambassador to the UK and had to listen to the off color comments made about Jefferson’s appearance. I got a little laugh out of it.
Not that I am comparing Obama to Jefferson. No, comparison there, but Jefferson really did not care what others thought of him and I don’t think Obama does either.
