News, but not the serious kind
That’s really subtle, dudes!
It’s time once again for an episode of our popular feature, Stuff Maybe We Should Have Mentioned in the Caption, But Didn’t.
Yesterday they shot the group photo of the world leaders who participated in a summit in L’Aquila, Italy.
Our actual caption on this photo here tells us that President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy “take their places with junior G8 delegates for a family photo…”
I guess it didn’t occur to us to mention that something far more interesting is going on here, and that Obama and Sarkozy aren’t giving their fullest attention to finding their places for the group photo.
I don’t believe that chick is the leader of a country, not even a little-bitty one, so she must be one of those “junior delegates.”
I couldn’t find her in the group photo of the real leaders, but maybe she was voted out of office just before they snapped the picture.

Well, I can’t say that I blame Obama or Sarko… what strikes me as suspicious, though, is Sarko’s little smirk while Obama is fully distracted by the young ladys’ … shoes, of course!
Is that the way French diplomacy is now working, by sending conspicuously dressed young women to distract world leaders into signing important documents? Clever! Very clever, mon chèr!
Well, this should make for some interesting ‘Michele’ time later on…
But aren’t we all just one big happy family?
Maybe they’re doing the hokey pokey!
It looks to me that Sarko is smirking at Obama for looking.
Wait — Where’s Berlusconi?
John, If we can get a Photosynth together from all the reporters footage and photos of this moment I am sure we can find him.
haha yes where is silvio fo real?!!
Hey, Obama’s a man, and not a hyprocrite like the Republicans who claim to be Puritans, but leave their wives for someone younger at the drop of hanky.
The rest of the world has laughed at the USA’s sexual hyprocrisy for years. Now they’re smiling with us!
I’m sure that Obama seen a penny on the ground and wanted some extra good luck…
I think the girl in question is only 16-years-old. Not that the President or anyone else could possibly tell that from her appearance.
Oh . . . and Henry Mu? You’re a moron.
Looks like reporting standards at Reuters are slipping!

The full video shows that obama was waiting to walk a young lady down the stairs, probably watching where they would step.
Oddly Enough.
