Expressions of shock, disgust and even some “OMG’s” greeted the release of a photo appearing to show President Barack Obama staring at the posterior of a Brazilian teenager at the recently convened G8 conference.
The image shows Obama and French President Nicholas Sarkozy looking at the back-end of a young lady as she situates herself on the steps for a photo op Thursday.
“Very funny, laughed till I cried,” said one user about the image on a popular Internet forum. “I know a check out when I see one.”
Another user expressed empathy with the president.
“I would sure hate it if our president was human,” he said. “Even if he was checking out a butt, he is a man.”
Even though opinions are mixed on whether or not Sarkozy was looking at the teen, Obama was definitely watching his footing, as the video footage clearly shows.
From Thomas Jefferson to JFK to Clinton, it seems as if American presidents have had a hard time turning the other way when temptation called their names.
Obama’s ability to avert his gaze even in the face of temptation shows that he’s different.
Though Obama is arguably the most powerful man in the world, and he could probably have any woman he wants, it’s good to have a president who loves his family dearly.
It’s also good that like Job, Obama knows that all eyes are always on him, so he watches himself:
“I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?” (Job 31:1 World English Bible Translation)
It gives me a modicum of hope in this age of rampant infidelity and lies.
