And out of the Seoul sky, President Lee Myung-bak hands over to the American leader a tae kwan do outfit. And then Lee, who practices tae kwan do himself, presents Obama with a coveted black belt.

Oh just kiss my @$$.

Oh… my… God.
Please stick to hoops and bowling, you nerd.

Isn’t that fist about 90 degrees too low?
SouthernGent on November 19, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Not. He might show Obama a black-belt worthy kick though.
conservative pilgrim on November 19, 2009 at 8:39 PM
Now that is a peace prize…

Wax on. Wax off.

I thought the photo was going to be the one of Levi on playgirl.com. Either way, ICK!
txag92 on November 19, 2009 at 8:42 PM
Hmmm. A black belt but no karate skills.
Symbolic message for how much “evildoers” really fear our paper tiger?
cs89 on November 19, 2009 at 8:44 PM
With both a peace prize and a black belt, Obama is a one man good cop / bad cop routine.
Enemies of America, look out!
sandberg on November 19, 2009 at 8:46 PM
You ought to make a list of the awards Obama will get next.
The picture makes Obama look like he’s trying to coldcock Major Garrett.

will barry wear it as high up as michelle does?

This is the third or fourth pic that shows he’s fully a nerd.
SirGawain on November 19, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Beta male in action. He doesn’t even know how to position his fist.
BottomLine5 on November 19, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Mr. Me-yagi?
karlant on November 19, 2009 at 8:51 PM
As someone who attained rank in Kyuki-Do, Lee, you’re a dips**t. And Obama is only slightly less of a dips**t for accepting something he didn’t earn. But then, that’s been his lot in life.
MadisonConservative on November 19, 2009 at 8:51 PM
what a twag!
daesleeper on November 19, 2009 at 8:52 PM
At least he can’t win an Oscar. His performance at trying to pretend to be a president is too unbelievable for even the academy to buy into.
DrAllecon on November 19, 2009 at 8:52 PM
“Wonder twin powers, activate!”
Weight of Glory on November 19, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Gods, what a poseur we have in the White House.
Sekhmet on November 19, 2009 at 8:55 PM
The Academy gave George Clooney an Oscar. I’m pretty sure talentless hams are a fave of theirs.
mjk on November 19, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Tae kwan do? Ppppffttt! Obama should’ve put a BJJ choke hold on him and said “I got your tae kwan do right here, biotch!”
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Ugh, his stance is aweful, he looks like he’s a lefty (well, he IS!) I mean left-handed, trying to fight right-handed. Anybody know? He’s a lefty, right?
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 9:03 PM
He writes left-handed, but so do I and I still do a great many things right-handed. If we could pull up video of his jump shot it would help in this investigation Tony.

Left-handed on the jumper
thomasaur on November 19, 2009 at 9:09 PM
He writes left-handed … Left-handed on the jumper – Tom
Good job, Tommy. He looks like he punches like a girl … that’s what I would look like if I tried to box left-handed! Let’s give him the benfit of the doubt, he was standing opposite of how actually fights … but WHY?
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Lips out of sync with voice “You, you killed my brother!”
Caper29 on November 19, 2009 at 9:18 PM
He’s still the favorite for the Heisman, right?
trubble on November 19, 2009 at 9:22 PM
He only knows the moves from the art with one J after the B.
fronclynne on November 19, 2009 at 9:25 PM
Affirmative action, in action, just like Obama’s Nobel, he didn’t earn it.
RJL on November 19, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Because he’s a wimp and never been in a fight in his life?
thomasaur on November 19, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Two words:
“Jesus wept.”

This is why I love HotAir! You guys crack me up!
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I’m a lefty, but I throw and punch right-handed. Shoot pool lefty. Obama’s ambidextrousness is a product and sign of his higher being. Or something. Why destroy the country with one hand with you have two, non?
robblefarian on November 19, 2009 at 9:45 PM
I’ll spar with Obambi. It’s been awhile since I’ve trained and my back is bugging me so no need to worry about him getting hurt.
Then again, I might forget to teach him how to do a break fall properly.
oops
aikidoka on November 19, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Well, we don’t call him the zero for nothing.
4shoes on November 19, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Same talents as I. You must be a higher intelligence also.
thomasaur on November 19, 2009 at 9:51 PM
We totally need a secret handshake. Totally.

Nah, it just means he can’t do anything with EITHER hand!
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 9:56 PM
I believe that it is safe to say that he can jerk off with either hand.
thomasaur on November 19, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Now he’s ready to fight Putin one on one. Except that Putin actually is a martial arts expert.
BDavis on November 19, 2009 at 10:01 PM
From the comments in the article:
– Yermak
God forbid … God forFREAKINbid!
… he can jerk off with either hand. – Tom
Ha! That takes talent! I bet he needs BOTH hands to part the Red Sea.
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Now he’s ready to fight Putin one on one. – BD
Sadly, Putin is laughing his ass off at this picture. Obama would just wave his hand in front of Pooty and say “You don’t want to fight me.” (Jedi mind trick, for those of you who never saw … oh, wait, this is HotAir, never mind!)
Tony737 on November 19, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Now that Obama has a black belt, there’s no stopping him. You should see him in action (hint: He’s the black guy in the video
)
mizflame98 on November 19, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Eh its not that big of a deal, Tae Kwan Do, for the most part, is a children’s sport here in the US where you get belts for doing forms and not for actual skill so Obama should fit right in. He’s like Kramer in Karate.
I’d like to see him go to Renzo Gracie’s school here in NYC, he’d get his arm torn off and told to practice a bit if he expected a belt.
Rbastid on November 19, 2009 at 11:46 PM
#1 stocking stuffer this holiday season “Barry Soetoro: Inaction Figure”. Hey kids, he makes a great photo op! Mmmmm mmmm mmm!
BHO Jonestown on November 20, 2009 at 1:17 AM
Tae Kwan Do = Dance Class
No, this isn’t about my style is better than your style. Whatever style works for you is a style that works. Tae Kwan Do on the otherhand is, in fact, dance class.

I hear he is looking good for Canton, next year. Can’t wait to see his bronze bust next to Elway’s.
JCred on November 20, 2009 at 5:46 AM
Par for the course for Obama. Everything he’s got, he got without doing the requisite work.
MarkTheGreat on November 20, 2009 at 7:57 AM
Therein lies the problem. He even treats the presidency like a bestowed title, with all the perks and requiring no competence or effort.
