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)

If you watch the whole film clip – this is not at all what was happening.
The picture should be captioned – “the biggest smear”.
If they did it to someone on our side of the aisle you guys would be appalled.

April, I bet you think guys that hold the door for you are being chivalrous. Obama knows how it works. He’s a playa.

No I wouldn’t and I watched the video and i’s clear what he’s doing.
I really don’t see this as that big a deal though.
The real wonder is why did AP ever publish this photo to begin with?

“Umm ABC already showed that Obama was not staring at either of the two asses.”
Umm, I saw the video that ABC tried to throw up in O’s defense and it looked very much like he was checking out the chick’s ass.
But like I’ve said before, it’s the least objectionable thing the commie coxucker has done since the inauguration. I’d rather see him check out asses than spending all of his time reducing America to ashes.

Sarkosy looking at Obama is priceless.
Sarkosy scores again. We want Sarkozy. The French can have Barry.
Geochelone on July 10, 2009 at 11:11 AM
I used to wonder about this too. Then it dawned on me, they don’t dress for men – they dress for other women. It’s an in-your-face thing in the struggle for alpha (female dog) status.
Men should be respectfully lowering their gaze and genuflecting when a member of the superior gender passes by – NOT ogling her bod.

Sarko’s amused because he’s doing the same damn thing. The two guys may even be discussing the young woman’s, ahem, attire. Perhaps they noticed/discussed her as she first started up the stairs.
So the Presidents of France and the United States haven’t been castrated. Um….OK.
Hey, if women don’t want men looking at them, I suggest the Burqua. My preference as a woman? I’ll stick with slacks and shirts, and men still check me out. But I never wore slinky, shiny, curve-hugging clothing….Dave Barry had a great column several years ago telling women that they didn’t have to dress like whores to let men know that they were naked underneath their clothing.
I wish more young (and middle-aged) women would listen to him.

For the first time in US history, a sitting President is taken into protective custody by the Secret Service, until the First Lady could be subdued.
Maquis on July 10, 2009 at 11:35 AM
It was a good try by ABC. But if you watch the video, it’s even more clear that he’s checking out her booty.
Again, nice try ABC.

Obama: (thinking) Why would she write ‘kiss me’ on her butt?
Sarkozy: (thinking) Ah the Chinese, so clever
Obama: (thinking) did that imperialist fool Sarkozy trick me with the butt writing?
Sarkozy: (thinking) Must have been Putin. I shall have some vodka with heem later
Obama: How do I get out of this? Drop my pen on the floor? Wait there’s a fly on her butt!
Sarkozy: (burst of speed thinking) There is a God! Mon Dieu! (hands Obama a rolled newspaper) Quickly my friend, before it bites!

Yeah, ABC — Obama wasn’t ogling her, he was looking at his footing just like when Obama wasn’t bowing to the Saudi King he was picking up trash from the floor.
It is insulting that they even try to lie about/cover up with this sh!t.

bill30097 on July 10, 2009 at 1:01 PM
You cannot be serious – the video has been analyzed on every station, but like we all said many times about those who suffered from BDS, they saw only what they wanted to see and told everyone who tried to reason with them – to STFU.
Ahhh that idealogoy, it is more addicting than any vice this side of hell….
AprilOrit on July 10, 2009 at 1:04 PM
that vid on ABC doesn’t prove or disprove anything, unless you are already looking for conclusive evidence one way or the other, which you apparently are.

Cody Baker on July 10, 2009 at 1:25 PM
I clicked on the photo to watch the stills and noticed that Ms Merkel was standing a far from the Bamster as she could (it must be true he tried to squeeze he booty when in Germany, to get her to smile for the cameras). Also, I see the guy from Fantasy Island is traveling with the Bamster (right hand end of still photos).

There is a reason Merkel dislikes Obama. She grew up in East Germany and recognizes the type of leader he is and wants no part of such.

Hope on July 10, 2009 at 2:14 PM
They can analyze it till their blue in the face but it isn’t going to change where his eyes are looking.
It makes absolutely no sense to say he was looking down to watch his step and it’s perfectly clear he ain’t looking where he’s stepping. Instead of forward he’s tuned to the back where there is only one thing, a girl’s butt. He isn’t stepping backward.
This has nothing to do with any hate or syndromes. It’s about a middle aged guy recognizing an all too familiar move. Obama’s problem is he’s either lousy at it or too egotistical to care who sees.

Who knows . . . at some point we may see more accessories like that cute little $1,500 VBH ‘gator clutch she was flashing just outside of Moscow during the recent joint walk in the woods (photo at the link).
The designer — of bags and jewlery — “VBH“ is Vernon Bruce Hoeksema, a former fashion model who goes by “Bruce” — he treats the “V.” as just an initial.
VBH maintains an air of mystery — this is his website, but his stuff drives the fashion conscious wild, apparently including the FLOTUS.
It’s all part of the plan for stimulating the economy.
