What Are They Staring At? Nominations For Most Awkward G-8 Photo

While we of course do not claim to know anyone's thoughts, we nominate these two photos top candidates for most awkward picture of the G-8 meeting.

Suspiciously, Sarkozy appears in both photos. Ah, the French. They're a terrible influence. Those are some big smiles boys. Just sayin!

Sarkosy is looking at the girl, Obama is looking at the papers on the ground. Come on..........

A photo represents a fraction of a second - pick the right fraction and you can claim whatever you want.

Anyone can crop photos to make the appear how they want;

Actually, if you check the trajectory of the President's gaze, it's toward the papers that are still on teh ground, not the woman's behind.

But acknowleding that would spoil all the fun... it's much more fun to whang on about "boys being boys". lol

[Pupadup4oBama]

Sarkozy, possibly to definitely yes - Obama - definitely not - as you say - the trajectory of his gaze is towards the ground

[kitsinu]

Intersecting that sexy woman's butt on the way by mere happenstance. That is just the way more subtle guys do it.

[phazeroftruth]

comparing the relative merits of women from around the world is part of diplomacy. I aint judgin'

[Poorsarah]

These guys are human beings...their not God. I looked, also.

Nicholas Graham wins the "Journalism is Dead" award for 7-9-09.

[StephBr]

yep

[malodorousgit]

Can't expect guys not to look, that's just not fair. I'd be happy if Obama was ogling me. Sarkozy and Berlusconi, not so much.

[Pupadup4oBama]

and Obama is not even oogling - the other two - well, they just can't help themselves.
This might sound childish - but "ooooggggie!" I wouldn't want to be oogled by them.

[malodorousgit]

I've hit the age where I think it would be nice to be ogled again.

[samandally]

Pup, he is looking, get over it!

[dancucich]

It could have been a telephoto lens which compresses
distance and depth of field.

But, let's assume they were actually guilty of ogling.

And then lets speculate what Ensign or Sanford would have done...
would a mere look have been sufficient for those GOP paragons?

[gs425]

You're darn tootin Ensign and Sanford would have looked. Edwards and Spitzer would have been all over that as well. You might even get Frank to look.....well maybe not Frank, he'd would check out Sarkosy.

This is not between America and Obama. He did not go to Argintina. He did not have some show girl in the White House. He did not have a intern in the Oval Office. As a Republican and a Husband I can say this one is between him and his wife. If she says no problem then no problem. If there are women voters that get upset about it then that is the price he pays for a bad picture.

[Pupadup4oBama]

Actually, you can tell that Obama is NOT looking at the woman....Sarkoszy - DEFINITELY

[samandally]

Actually you can tell that he IS looking!HAHA.

[Sensiblebg]

Obama to Sarkozy: "I know... I know.. Shes got a f atty"

[Jaximus Prime]

America is truly a progressive country. We elected a fetal alcohol syndrome baby for president not once but twice. What other country can say they had a mentally handicapped person in charge? GO USA!

[amorvincitomnia]

Us ladies do it too. We're just better at doing it discreetly.

[CardboardBox]

Ha. No, you're not as discreet as you think you are. Some of us men know when we're being checked out, and it's usually from the side as you smile and let us get distracted. One quick glance from eyes to shoes and you know if you want or don't. So sly.

[Adam11]

so what?....i thought it was look but dont touch or is that illegal too now?...lol

[PSM42]

Let's guess - Sarko and Berlusconi ... hmm, that's a tough one ... I have it -
