SUMMARY: Following the lead of Free Republic and the Drudge Report, media outlets highlighted a photo of President Obama from the G-8, in some cases with provocative, needling, or scolding commentary that is not supported by video of the event.

1. ABC got it right

by showing the video, and not just a still photo.

3. Of course that will be ignored by the wingnuts. Thanks for posting.

I watched it twice, and he was helping that woman down. That picture makes it look like he was leering at the other woman's ass. He was doing nothing of the sort.

I know these people just make things up as they go along, but this slanderous.

2. The blond woman actually said that Obama was looking at something else

something outside the camera range, and shanity said "no, he's looking at her backside" and then accused the woman of being a liberal.

Actually felt for the woman who was showing some integrity in spite of the fact that she's on faux.

As for the rest of this clip, I couldn't finish it. It was either finish it or loose my lunch. These people are in a death spiral.
