Caption contest: First Ogler; Update: New pic

All right, all right … you folks just won’t let this wait for it to be the Quote of the Day, so let’s get this party started now. I’d call this an Obamateurism, but (a) Hot Air readers wouldn’t let it sit overnight, and (b) what married man hasn’t done this once or twice himself? Unfortunately, Obama let himself get caught ogling the young woman, and perhaps by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. In fact, he seems more amused than Hot Air readers.
So add your caption and have a blast! I’ll probably skip doing a poll, since I won’t be able to read the thousand-plus comments and boil the entries to a representative few. Just kick back and enjoy…
Update: Some report that this was a 16-year-old attendee of the J-8 Conference, an auxiliary event for teens around the world to the G-8 conference arranged by the UN. I’m sure Obama would not have known her age or her membership in the group; I doubt he even knew of the J-8 gathering. The object of the joke here is Obama, not the young woman, but let’s try to keep this in mind.
In fact, let’s just take that pic down and use this one instead:
I think this works just as well for all of the existing captions suggested in the comments, and eliminates the ick factor somewhat. Notice, too, that Sarkozy is giving almost exactly the same kind of reaction in this shot. This really amuses him, n’est-ce pas? (via William Amos)

Someone is going to get their arms ripped out of their sockets tonight, an it ain’t going to be Meechelle.
Remember Rev Wright’s comment; “riding dirty”.

When Michelle gets through with him, Barack may want to call these guys.

Damn fine- Michelle’s booty is so biiiiiiiiiiig I get lost in it.
ndulik on July 9, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Since the girl who’s rear 0bama is admiring is only 16, does that make him a closet pedophile?
Either way, the President of the United States has no business acting like that. Imagine if a Republican President had done that? The loony left would be calling for impeachment.

There seems to be a consensus that the outrageously beautiful, gorgeous, trend setting, most stylish first lady EVAH, Michelle Obama has a huuuuuuuuuuge rear end. MSM thinks the public is blind as well as stupid!
ndulik on July 9, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Why has this not moved to top picks?
Oh well, I’ll repeat my caption:

Barry likes big butts and he loves to lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy
After these two incidents and the “we met in class” comment about Michelle, I reckon old Barry O wont be getting any more “Date nights” for a while.
Dreadnought223 on July 9, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Typical liberal,
Trying to act morally superior but to stupid to see their own stereotypical bigotry in their own comment.
Shouldn’t you be joking about the beating an raping of Sara Palin or making fun of mentally challenged people like the rest of your liberal friends.

It’s the wee hours of the morning in Italy. Wonder if the hotel switchboard has received a frantic “Emergenza! Dammi il numero di 911!!!” from the Presidential suite yet?
Followed by a muffled, “E si può inviare una borsa di ghiaccio?”
coldwarrior on July 9, 2009 at 10:36 PM
He’s actually looking at something on the floor in this one (probably the same thing the young lady is trying to pick up off the ground.
Not so in the other pic. That was an appreciative glance. It’s gotta be hard to be on the record like this all the time. I’m amazed more Presidents haven’t been caught picking their nose.

Kinda looks like Sarah Palin in the 2nd photo. What a P-I-G The Won is… so blatant in his oogling while he is supposed to be representing America! So happy to see that our tax dollars are funding this fool’s good times in Italy – not!

Italy’s PM looks like he is making sure his zipper is up (for a change) and the Russian looks like a dummy frozen in place without Putin’s hand up his backside.

Are you suggesting that the photo was taken from this video and not from a photographer with a camera?
Considering the video panned away while she was still squatting, it is entirely possible, and even likely that the Ogler in Chief did checkout her @ss.

I know the idea is “hey, we’re better than that” and don’t play in the dirt like the left does. Because of that attitude we got John McCain as a candidate and our country being destroyed by power hungry thugs. When its something as important as saving my country and hopefully a better future for my kids. I’ll check my conscience at the door.

Wolfish Liberals = virile, normal, sexually healthy men who are to be admired and are after all, quite ‘hip’.
Wolfish Conservatives = dirty old men, perverts of the highest order…such behavior is insulting to their wives, and besides these moralistic Bible thumpers are hypocrites.

And this guy’s been advertised as smart? Barry is dumber than a rabid gopher stuck in a bucket. He just keeps jumping at the sides in desperation. Lunging to and fro, blooding his chin while banging his face against the bucket. I was sure he would destroy the country if he were lucky enough to win a second term. I’ve revised my thinking to the country will br finished, completely unrecoverable by the summer of 2010. At the next G8 he’ll be pleading for aid… for Ohio, California, Illinois and another 13 or 14 states.

I agree in this one, it is more difficult to tell what he is looking at, and i knew the girl was picking up the name place mats, but in the other photo, I think it is quite obvious what Obama is looking at.
sarainitaly on July 10, 2009 at 5:49 AM
It’s morning,and at military bases, a flag ceremony is about to start. But with Obama as President, the soldiers feel no pride and the commander tells them to sleep in, get that extra sack time.

A chance for Wanda Sykes to practice her alleged comedy against the president this time:
“You are lucky this time, Mister Bottom Watcher”,
a line she said in the movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend to her subordinate Luke Wilson after Anna Farris declined to get Wilson in trouble for staring at her rear.

The leader of the free world publicly gets caught leering at a teenagers butt. This kind of behavior seems to be a Democrat genetic defect.
Jeff from WI on July 10, 2009 at 10:10 AM
I doubt Obama did not know of the J-8 gathering, having brought along his own kids to tour he’d have heard.

Leering, gaping Obama does America no favors internationally within diplomatic circles.
That lack of decorum is not a Hillary flaw.

Sheesh.
A Axe on July 10, 2009 at 10:21 AM
Frankly, I watched the video HOPING he wasn’t eyeing her booty.
Sorry, you can’t tell. I miss our former president.
No matter what he was eyeing, he does not have the business of the USA and preserving it foremost in his thoughts.
There’s my caption.

And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
maverick muse on July 10, 2009 at 10:25 AM
Considering what Obama has to wake up to every morning, who can blame him when he sees a woman WITHOUT a school bus following her around masquerading as her ass?
Even better, compare wives: Michelle is on the cover of Time, angry as usual, and Sarkozy’s wife, Carla Bruni, is on the cover of Vogue.
Who would YOU rather wake up to?
bradley11 on July 10, 2009 at 10:28 AM
