It was one of those nonstop days: President Barack Obama was flying back to Washington from Los Angeles to meet President Mahmoud Abbas, then he was scheduled to tape an interview for "The Colbert Report" and sit down for his regular briefing with advisers.

Obama also confessed recently that one of his biggest pet peeves is what he calls “the shine police” — aides and makeup artists who powder his face before he does television. “You notice that even before this interview, they constantly want to powder my nose and forehead and it's never enough — that I find quite irritating,” Obama told The Associated Press.

How many compacts does one guy need?

[Steely Tom]

He can no longer make small-town America stop yelling at him by wiggling his ears?

[Texas Eagle]

"Did he just say 'wee-wee'd up'"?

[kenth]

I imagine FNC is up there on his list. If it weren’t for his groomers and financiers, he’d be just another DUer.

[JillValentine]

Obama’s top pet peeve: That pesky little piece of paper called the Constitution.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

If they bother you so much, why don’t you prosecute the makeup artists for torture, like you do with other people who are doing their job?

[FlingWingFlyer]

CAPTION: “Barry! You look fabulous!”

[thecodont]

I'm trying to figure out if that's MAC or Joe Blasco cosmetics he's using.

Is BO irritated with the idea of having to wear make-up on TV? Look BO, the idea of powder is to take off the shine and make you more visible on camera, not have the lights bounce off of that oily nose of yours.

TOTUS does not have to wear makeup. He wears makeup because he wants to.

Even more than he dislikes drama, though, Obama “hates being late,” one senior aide said. (Lately, more times than not, he arrives ahead of schedule.) “His biggest thing is he hates inconveniencing people,” the aide said.

LOL That's why so many of his appearances start late.

He’s destroying my country...WTF do I care about his pet peeves?

[keepitreal]

He’s just mad because the makeup men haven’t figured out how to make his lips look less purple.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I am looking at the make up guy’s hand...and there is a foundation powder (one compact); a deep base for shadowing (compact number two); what is the ‘other’ highlighter? Blush? Usually ‘men’ just get ‘dusted’ to loose shine (not enhance cheekbones, etc.).

[mylife]

How did that pic leak out? L0L

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I still think his lip shade is from smoking...

[mylife]

He sure does look “powdery fresh”

[mojitojoe]

LOL!!! I’m sure he loved seeing that picture all over the internet! HHAHA

[mylife]

I think it is from planting his lips on blue butt.

[mojitojoe]

The olive green eye shadow needs to go. He’s beginning to look like a drag queen.

[mylife]

I hope it chaps him real good!

[mojitojoe]

LOL! He is never going to live that one down. We have a 1st grader as President. I guess when he has to go to the restroom he says “ I have to go poopy or I have to go tinkle”. What a joke he is.

[SERKIT]

Shine police? That will cost someone a beer at the White Crib.

[mojitojoe]

You have to catch them quick because they are often there, then scrubbed or removed, like this one was. Here is a good site to get them, check it often. Also you can sometimes find them in photobucket or other photo hosting sites. That’s where you find ones taken by people that aren’t pre-screened and touched up by the WH photographers.

Jiminy Crickets, no wonder the damn Russians are patrolling our shores.

We have a weak and pathetic homosexual running the Republic!!

Does Odinga get his marching orders from Soros with that hidden earpiece?

What a worthless, sad little POS.

[mylife]

Bookmarked for giggles

[keepitreal]

That’s from one of the debates. Maybe the makeup man had a compact for both candidates?

[chadwimc]

Did the half black guy really say “shine”? Hee hee. “Shine”. That describes obama to a tee. “Shine”...

[mojitojoe]

I know he is and I don’t care either. He hates to be made fun of and to be caught looking stupid, so I thought I would rub it in a little. Use it pet peeves to your advantage. :P

[Aria]

yes, I guess you’re right. the power of ridicule.. :-)

[freekitty]

HDTV is here. LOL

[ApplegateRanch]

With that, White House staffers quickly learned one of their boss’s pet peeves: Never put something on the calendar that interferes with his duties as First Dad.

Screw the country and the world and my job! My kid comes first!

Maybe the school should have checked the WH schedule, to make sure they were not conflicting with the Great One's priorities.

,” Obama told a gaggle of photographers snapping his every move before a golf game in Hawaii last December. “How many shots do you need?”

Just one well aimed one. The other 470 are just to ensure the right one got snapped. After all, how many times do you need to swing at the little ball, before you're finally satisfied you hit it right, and can finally quit playing with your balls in public?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

There ya go... being all reasonable and all...

LOL...yes. That COULD be...but I will keep my illusion of shading and depth (because I am shallow like that...)

;)PM

[PennsylvaniaMom]

HDTV is a dermatologist’s dream. Plastic surgeon’s do the ‘heavy lifting’ (pun intended)...but the skin docs gotta come in and do ‘clean up.’

Invest in skin laser centers; and makers of retinoids. Growth industries!!!

[Liz]

"Mmmm, just a touch more blush. What candidate
can compete with this face....and magnificent hair?"

[freekitty]

I hear ya.
