Barack Obama joins Open Government Partnership for group photo Rich Shulman writes

I don't know much about diplomatic protocols, but I would guess that waving during the group photo is something to avoid.

Obama can’t be this crass? Tell me this is a Photoshop. God help us [sigh]

Yes it looks fake and think the camera has boldly caught the truth of Obama. Made easier, of course; because of the man himself. Look at the expression of the man next to him, and the woman to 'leftl a few rows back. They appear to be the only ones, to catch this.

. (And surely, this will not stand as 'official' but rather the one taken after... Notice too Obama's eyes. He looks like he still in some after-glow trance, post his own speech, no doubt )...

OTOH...you could be right. It just so fits his profile, however.

Well, Ø always has a funny face. Or were you talking about the wave?

[fwdude]

Excellent!

You get Post of the Day.

This has to be a breach in protocol.

I know I am preaching to the choir, but he is a walking embarrassment to this country.

[This I Wonder32460]

Total lack of self discipline. It’s all about him, not anyone or everyone else.

Check out the lady, second row down, second from the left. She’s not even looking at the camera. She’s got a look on her face like “I can’t believe he’s really doing that.” It’s priceless.

Saw it on FB. He is looney! What does he have for a brain?

I imagine that the photo session went like this:

**********

Photographer: Everybody smile! Ready, and...

Obama: Hi!

Photographer: Mr. President, please keep your hands down for the picture. Thank you. Okay, take #2. Ready, and...

Obama: Hi!

Photographer: Mr. President, please put your hand down for the shot. It interferes with the picture. Thank you. Take #3. Ready, and...

Obama: Hi!

Photographer: For the love of God, Mr. President! Just leave your hands at your sides long enough for me to snap the picture. Can you do that? Can you do that for me? Thank you. Ready, and...

Obama: Hi!

Photographer: WTF?? Are you retarded? Is that what your problem is? Are you f’n retarded? Tell me, do you see anyone else with their hand up when I take the picture? Do you? You know why? Because it’s a retarded thing to do. Even if this were a 2nd grade class photo it would be a retarded thing to do! Now, in the name of all that is holy, do you think you can keep your retarded hands down at your retarded sides long enough for me to press this little red button? Huh? Do you? Okay, then. Ready, and...

Obama: Hi!

Photographer: Son of a b*tch! Does anyone else here think this guy is the dumbest a-hole to walk the earth since the dinosaur age?

Obama: Hi!

If you think about it , this photo just goes with he affirmative action dialogue. He's uneducated in the protocols of being an executive of any major institution or government. By the time you're in charge of a corporation with millions of dollars in responsibility and thousands or at least hundreds of employees , you learn to conduct yourself in a certain manner.

That's why even leaders from tribal Africa or Mongolia that are in international meetings speak in measured ways and act in a certain manner. It shows a level of respect and seriousness to you and those you represent. Obama just walked in off the street after a night at a gay bath house and talking to street hustlers and is just out of his element. Bwhahahahahaha. It's pathetic.

He needs to watch the Princess Diaries. What a clown. As for the leadership, maybe a lemonade stand and see if he can make a profit before moving up to a paper route to learn cost and profit analysis. Then maybe a manager of a pizza place and on to Walmart. By then he'll understand cost structure, taxes on dividends/income and maybe meet a payroll where his performance will result in people losing or keeping their jobs.

He is the classic , and I mean classic figurehead dummy that just fell into a well oiled machine and is just pulling levers and pushing buttons that make stuff happen without clue 1 about what he is actually doing. Look at that stupid sh&t eating grin. Hahahahahahahaha. What a joke.

[Jim Noble]

It’s not even a good Photoshop job.

[tcrlaf]

Some needs to photoshop ERKEL in to that picture. It would be a CLASSIC!

[woofie]

Its called reality

see #32

[mojitojoe]

Because it’s NOT a photoshop job.

[mojitojoe]

Did Getty images photo shop it? If not then it’s authentic.

[tcrlaf]

Absolutely frikken HILARIOUS........

[The Brush]

I wonder how many times Barry had to give up his lunch money to some girl in his Kenyan class to keep from having the spit beaten out of him? He looks very ummm... homosexual!

[Jim Noble]

Nobody’s head sits on their shoulders like that.

Not even coked-up illegal alien gay Muslims.

It’s fake.
