      Hannity had the picture up and commented over and over how his marriage may have an problem.. Weak!
      Hey Yetta.. Why Post a "Lying" Picture? Just fun to Bash POTUS?
      I miss the point.. Perhaps due to my age.. Maturity changes things... try some!

      It is really Fox vs. Fox 'cause Van Susteren just slam dunked Kilmeade's earlier (ass)umption that Obama was looking at that young girls' backside. It's true that pictures aren't really worth a 1000 words. But, so what if he was looking? Oh, yeah Fox and Frenemies are just looking for excuses to smear Obama instead of looking in their own camp.

      Kudos to Greta for demonstrating some journalistic integrity. Don't hold your breath waiting for any corrections from the likes of hannity, foxnation, etc.

      As someone pointed out on the other thread, he does seem to be concerned about the high step, as we see him looking down at it repeatedly. Perhaps he was concerned that he would back up into it and fall, looking foolish on international TV. Maybe he was worried about those girls trying to step up there in high heels. Maybe he really was checking out the girl's tush.

      We'll probably never know. I do find it amusing that the Troglodytes would try to make something out of this when so many members of their own party are getting caught not just looking, but sticking their hands in the cookie jar.

        I have figured out how the Democrats can get along with the condervatives(Republicans).Talk about nothing but sex.Every thing they talk about they try to work in a sexual reference.There is a problem with that.Their preference seems to be for deviant and or illegal acts.However this can be used to identify the people corrently calling themselves conservatives.If they can take any subject and use deviant and or illegal sex acts to convey their thoughts,it is official conservative(republican)talk.

      I'm sure Greta will get her hand slapped by Ailes for showing up Hannity who had the only the still photo on his show. but kudos to Great none the less. Anyway, what's wrong with checking out a nice butt?

        The ironic thing is that if the prez was checking it out, that would be proof of his red-blooded American maleness, something the goons have denied from the beginning. Anyway, the guy on the right in the photo is the one doing the gazing. In their search for the bottom, um, I mean how low can they go, they are at about 2nd grade level with this. Sorry 2nd graders.

      It's obvious from the video - great work, Ms. Susteren! - that President Obama is turning to help the young lady down the high step.

      As for Sheer "Hot Air" inSannity and Brian "Mating with Other Species" K. - it is a fact of human nature that we see the world as we are ourselves. Their comments say nothing about President Obama - they speak volumes about the speakers...

      Seems that Greta used to be a real journalist, once upon a time. Maybe she's finally had enough of the bullsh*t from her fellow FOXers.

        Not to be too cynical, but I suspect that some of the Faux hosts just think that they aren't stooping as low as Sean, and want to convince themselves that they still are journalists...
        But they have bias that shows over and over in their broadcasts. They left Edward R. Murrow a long time ago.........

      I am disgusted with FAUX and Hannity. This is an old ploy. The style is determining desperation and eludes to dislike from these reporters. People should be advised and aware to how far these media persons will sink. I wonder if they feel all Americans approve or has there privelege and antics gone so far that they lead and lend into every aspect of their lives. These reporters remind me of government officials and senators who thought they could do anything without detection or correction and now can only master rendezvous and secrecy and not governing. This is the type of behavior that is complimentary to the morals of such people. Know what you are working with so that in the future you will know how to deal with it.

      Gods... it's obvious that Obama is simply looking downwards to ensure that the girl next to him steps down without obstruction. Anyone who reads anything sexual in that moment is the one with the problem.

      Obama must be doing pretty well in his job is this is the best scandal they can come up with: they are grasping at straws.

      Hannity is just a liar; not a journalist, no entertainment value; he's gotten low enough to rub a snakes' belly; was Bush ever disrespected in such a fashion; even tho' he had the mentality of "mumbles"?

      As I was driving home from work this afternoon, Hannity was still talking about how Obama was checking out this young woman. Hannity, just can't help himself.

      Further, how can somebody like Gretchen Carlson, who dresses like a secretary trying to (putting this delicately) get a rise out of her boss, even mention this.

      Hilarious - "the lying picture". Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?

      He was checking out her butt. And there's nothing wrong with that. If you watch the video, it just shows that he was incredibly smooth about it, unlike the shot of him checking out Carla Bruni's butt.

      He's an ass man. Big deal. Most of us, even those of us who hate Obama and everything he stands for, just think it's funny.

        She was being sarcastic. (Scaratches head) If you guys tried to stay in the middle instead of clinging to one party you might catch the news in an un-biased way. Of course Fox curves to the right. That's where they found their fan base. The other networks do a heavy curve to the left most of the time. They follow the numbers. If I hadn't have watched Fox News in 1999, I would have never known anything about Jesse Dirkhising: the kid who was sodomized and killed by two homosexuals. There is a youtube video about Jesse. The other stations surely didn't report it. I wonder why. I think we all know the answer to that one. That's why the web is the BEST place for news and not TV. BTW I would say 100% without a doubt the man was looking at the young girl's rear but so what? He's human.
