He makes me so proud

WHAT? We don't need no stinking opinions here.

Don't know, you'd have to get hold of Shulman to find out what happened to that tingle that used to run up his leg.

For some reason Obama sometimes reminds me of the kid on the front of Mad Magazine...must be the ears and the look of confusion.

Hillarious. I think some reporter may have asked, everyone who wants to raise taxes, please raise your hand.... Such a pompous idiot.

Kind of a strange photograph, but I don't think it's been altered. It seems as though a couple things were happening at once because some are laughing, some are looking to their right, some to the left, and some straight ahead. I looked closely at his hand. If this was (for whatever reason) faked it was extremely well done.

Here's another photo of the same event:



Medialite:

he intrepid conservative sleuths at The Blaze and Pajamas Media have cracked the case of the possibly photoshopped, allegedly “embarrassing” picture of President Obama waving during a photo-op, and obscuring another world leader’s face in the process. The photo is real!

There were three pool photographers at yesterday’s event (from the AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg), each of whom probably shot fifty or more pictures of that group pose, like this one:

(the same photo as shown in the OP)

There’s no way to tell what happened in that photo, either. Maybe someone was throwing a shoe at the guy. Or maybe someone waved at the President. I know, how plausible is that?

In any case, this is a prime example of right-wing hysteria run amok. (emphasis mine)

(I found this in 10 seconds by a simple Google search" Obama Waving Photo. It doesn't mean I'm smarter than anybody else and I have never claimed to be smarter than anyone else, so I'm sorry if some here get that impression. It just means I Google when I want to find something out and then I share it.)
