Possibly - she could have been ticked at him (pictures indicated she was) because of his lack of demeanor rather than his looking somewhat flirtatious. Though IF he is really Bathhouse Barry (as reported) and IF she is having an affair w a SS dude, it gives them more time together as well as Obummer w Reggie baby.

BTW - Spoiler Alert re CNN State of the Union:

Candy Crowley: If I’m Unemployed or on Minimum Wage, ‘Why Would I Become Republican?’

On CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, host Candy Crowley asked a question of Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisc.) that should offend people on both sides of the aisle.

“If I am an unemployed American…or if I am a minimum wage worker… why would I become a Republican?” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

(video link)

CANDY CROWLEY: If I am an unemployed American and I hear from Republicans that, “Yeah, you know, we should go ahead and do that provided we do the following three things,” and it’s a caveat approval of extending those [unemployment] benefits, or if I am a minimum wage worker and I find, I see Republicans who say, “You know what? It’s artificial, it messes with the marketplace, it might mean some teens can’t get into the job market,” why would I become a Republican? How do you message that in any way to reach out to those who are disinclined to sign up for the Republican Party?

Doesn’t Crowley know that she indicted the Democratic Party as one that is basically buying votes?

So someone that’s currently unemployed or on minimum wage must support politicians that promote policies that hurt the very job creation that might lead to them having better lives?

And if Republicans aren’t willing to support such failed policies, it behooves such an individual to be a Democrat thereby potentially condemning him or herself to mediocrity and possibly lifetime government dependence?

Clearly, Crowley has forgotten that in 1980, a great deal of unemployed and minimum wage workers voted for Ronald Reagan because they realized Democratic policies weren’t helping them.

We ain’t getting the unemployed vote anyway so why try? Stand up for those who are paying the freight and get their votes.

Pray America is Waking

This concept is doctrine for democrats. A caller to cspan this morning said the same thing, at length: Why would the poor in red states vote "against their own interest" as they elect Republicans.

So - taking more money from taxpayers, aka government, is the primary reason for the 'poor' to vote.

The idea that voting for persons who will bring more jobs to their locality (or stop the outflow of jobs) is never even mentioned.

I assume you saw ALL the pics of nobama’s encounter. Many lamestream outlets left off the last picture which showed that nobama and the Wookie had traded seats and the blond was then looking the other way.

What a riot. How embarrassing for America!

I think your first paragraph nailed it pretty well.
