When our fearless leader Barack Obama first announced his candidacy, I was all for it. Heck, I sent the guy twenty-five bucks to add to his campaign chest. A black president, how cool would that be, I thought. Turns out it's not so cool. In fact, for a smart guy Obama seems pretty dull much of the time, not all the way to stupid but on the way.
Take this photo, which is currently making the rounds on the Internet as proof of his stupidity. You do have to wonder just what the heck he's doing here. But at least he seems to really like his wife, which these days--the list of philandering politicians is far too long to post here-- is saying something.
It appears he was trying to get the umbrella thru the opening without turning it on its side, maybe trying to lift it over the top. She probably realized that the two of them were already standing in the drip line anyway and was getting out of the way.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo-journalism, don't you think? How they have the best intentions (not getting wet) but nonetheless getting wet.
Unfortunately, the press wait for the right picture to take to plaster everywhere, which are usually taken "out of context (you don't see what was happening before" and "at an angle" that would prove their thoughts (though I don't think much of today's media have intelligent thoughts). I am sure if we monitored every person, we would find plenty of pictures that would be unflattering about each and every one of us. If you don't like a person, don't follow them and get a life or don't vote for them.
ReplyDeleteI don't worry about these types of things. So minor in the scheme of life.
