Obama Put His Feet on Oval Office Desk, and People are Outraged

If you were hoping for one more overblown controversy to end your summer, your wish has been granted. President Obama put his foot on his desk in a White House photo, and although it admittedly does look a little cheesy, people are outraged over the leader of the free world placing his foot atop the Resolute Desk because it’s undignified and beneath the office of the president… although technically it’s in the office of the… the point is, people are not happy.

3. When Adlai Stevenson was running for President...

Life Magazine ran a cover picture of him with his feet on the desk and a hole in the sole of his shoe.

8. Of course. Presidenting While Black.

Apparently the hatred of anything he does wipes out the ability to stop and consider whether someone will come along and show you how previous presidents did the same thing. Because this keeps happening.

Oh well, let (racist) fools be fools.
