Ooookay, guys, I’ll admit it was a dumb idea to just drop by the ambassador’s residence here in Paris without calling first, but who knew he’d be out on a weeknight?
Y’know, he told me to come by if I was ever in France, but I guess folks always say that.
I even got him a bottle of duty-free Sambuca at the airport, too. Let’s give him five more minutes - I bet he just went up to the corner for some gum.
These concrete steps are really uncomfortable. Herb, go jiggle that doorknob and see if he left it unlocked. Maybe we can find some leftovers in the kitchen.
I’ll tell you one thing, this is the LAST time I go overseas without planning some stuff in advance!
You guys wanna go see some more damned paintings? Yeah, me neither…

Looks like a manifestation of his overall cavalier attitude towards, well, towards everything.
- Posted by Ricardo“My apologies Mr. President. I’m afraid I left your reflector in my other pants.”
- Posted by Bandagewhat’s with the dude with the untucked shirt and running shoes? and just to point out, the picture was taken on a Sunday, the ambassador could have easily been at church… or a local discotheque, same difference to the frenchies.
- Posted by minnowDude!I could sure go for a cold beer! Man, I’m tired of all these French wines. Anybody know if this guy has a Wii? Wait - isn’t that the French word for YES?!!
- Posted by DeeNice one, Dee, and welcome back.
- Posted by Robert BaslerVery funny!
- Posted by Mad KaneWhy thank you, Mad!
- Posted by Robert BaslerIt that a built up heel that I see on the shoe?
- Posted by timYes, I believe so. President Obama is really only 5′4″ - barely the size of Phil Spector - but it isn’t written about much.
- Posted by Robert BaslerPresident Obama looks comfortable being in charge, very American, looks modern, sexy, casually elegant - in a very “George Clooney-esque” manner. If you’re jealous of this great guy, eat your hearts out!
- Posted by Pattilou ManningPresident Obama is a) not cavalier about everything and b) 6 foot tall, not 5′4″.
