if she walked past me i'd probably look too...
The difference between looking and staring is certainly an important distinction. Which is he doing in this photo? How can you tell?Looking at a person's eyes or hair is not the same as staring at her behind or breasts like a salvating dog, I think that is an important distiction,....
A woman on a diet will still look at somebody else's dessert.... Besides your GF is looking at what is on the menu, clearly a 16 year old girl is not.
Again -- just because a discussion revolves around a political figure doesn't make the discussion political.

Can you imagine the brouhaha if he had looked at a guy?Wow, now they're complaining that Obama actually looked at a girl.

Dreweling? Many men have wandering eyes, few men wonder enough.
Obama may appear lecherous in the still image, in the video it's a non-event.
Looking at a person's eyes or hair is not the same as staring at her behind or breasts like a salvating dog, I think that is an important distiction,...... hence the thread. Besides your GF is looking at what is on the menu, clearly a 16 year old girl is not.
Um, when the conversation "revolves around" the "example" set by, the leadership qualities of, standards adhered to in public by, and how the political figure is "representing" the country, uh... If that's not "political", what is?
Like I said: Open-and-shut.
Again -- just because a discussion revolves around a political figure doesn't make the discussion political.
Again -- I disagree with the premise.
But I agree that those in positions of power have additional responsibilities -- including the Governor of South Carolina.
She had a number of kids too...Decorum is for the queen of England.
Well he is French. They're supposed to do that. In fact I think it is a law.Actual I think the photo should be in the "Post a caption thread" and France's President Nicolas Sarkozy is taking a good look as well.
(But my sneaking suspicion is that only select political damsels in distress are afforded such protection)
Except this thread and the OP do not just revolve around a political figure, the subject of the thread is mean to about how such a figure should act.
Just a few posts ago you too made the connection that the OP intended. That was to discuss the political role and responsibilities of a president and furthermore to define what actions are non-presidential.
Exactly. The OP didn't bring up his NCAA Tournament picks. Or his choice in shoes. Or his freaking golf swing. He brought up things like the kind of "example" he should set, the "standards" he should adhere to, and how he is "representing" the country to other nations. It doesn't take much in the way of intellectual honesty to see and admit the clear-as-day difference there.
And speaking of "doth protest too much", trying to paint this whole thing as anything other than political in nature just serves to confirm the fact that it is.
Exhibit A for why SZ should be avoided at all costs. Or canned.
I don't understand what you are pointing to. If anything post #1 is the reason that some people were not able to survive in a section of the board that required you to be able to reason above the HS level. So instead some people post political posts in the HT section in order to avoid the proper criticism that their subject matter would warrant. Then they scream how awful the SZ is. This will illicit a few people who have never been in the SZ to also chime in with how awful the SZ is, even though they have no first hand experience but rely on what they heard form the people who could not hack in the SZ. This was a recently banned member of PoA main way of trying to score political points.Exhibit A for why SZ should be avoided at all costs. Or canned.

But as President, he has more responsibility for his public actions, no matter his party.
Which IS a political discussion that should be in the SZ.Oh, puh-leeeeze.
I've been consistent -- I disapree with the premise of the OP ("The president is leering and that's a bad example").
He's not leering.
But as President, he has more responsibility for his public actions, no matter his party.

Not quite as lecherous-looking as the snapshot.

Have I mentioned that this is about the most laughably ridiculous and absolutely pathetic attempt at (purely political) scandal-mongering I've seen in quite some time?
I mean, actually evaluating the information before passing it on seems like a lot of work...
Unlike his French counterpart, who leans back to maintain his view!You mean because he keeps looking at the same spot even after the alleged young lady has moved on?
So...when are you going to become a PoA moderator, Scott?Which IS a political discussion that should be in the SZ.
There's nothing wrong with catching an eyeful of attractive body part.
Nothing.
Nothing.
