Photo of the Day (updated)

Barack Obama checks out the local scenery as a rather bemused French President Nicolas Sarkozy looks on.

It has been speculated that "the scenery" isn't even an adult.

UPDATE: Speculation confirmed:

Her name is Mayora Tavares, she is 16 and she comes from Brazil.

Mayora was at the G8 summit in Italy as part of the J8 – a group of 53 people aged between 14 and 17 who have been meeting in Rome since the start of the week.

They were discussing how the lives of young people around the world can be improved.

After they presented their results and ideas on Thursday to their senior counterparts, the delegates had a group photo with them when Obama (47) was snapped.

UPDATE2: And another picture.


I'll grant that guys check out chicks. That's the way it is. It's also not unexpected to see that from the President of France or the Prime Minister of Italy (a somewhat notorious womanizer; but who apparently fell asleep standing up in that picture, either that or he was smart enough to not get caught scopin' on camera). The President of the United States? Eh...

And at photo ops, with countless cameras clicking away, and with your wife sure to tear you a new one? Would you want Madam Worf going all Klingon on you? I thought not. Then again, if you were married to Michelle Obama, your eyes might wander a lot too.

But I digress. All sarcasm and humor aside, the video of this (which numerous sensitive Democrats have sent me after this post) is far less entertaining (and certainly showing much less eye wandering, if any) than the photos. When it comes to the ladies, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama is not.
