You gotta give Somebody (maybe not The One) credit on this one. He’s been getting his deserved flack here and there (not the MSM, of course) for kissing up to Islam and dissing Israel. In this photo, he gets to eat his cake and keep it too.

He is taking advantage of cultual differences in body languge.

Americans and Israelis see him talking to someone that he is very comfortable and open with, probably someone he condsiders a friend. He looks kicked back, very comfortable, and ready to settle in for a long, friendly conversation.

To Muslims, he is showing his feet to the world as an indication of what he really thinks of Netanyahu. They also see the friendly posture, but showing the feet gives away the “tell” to “those in the know” (Muslims) that The One is pulling the classic Islamic con on Netanyahu by showing Netanyahu and the western world a friendly face, all the while disrespecting him. This hints at the classic Islamic strategy of setting Netanyahu up for an unexpected stab in the back.

In his recent speech, he reminded them that he grew up with their ways, that he recognizes and understands their ways. Basiclly, he told them to look for signs like this.

He, or more likely someone in his admin, think that we poor dumb hicks are too stupid to realize what he is doing here. He (or they) really believe that anyone smart enough to “get” this, has to Lib, and therefore, won’t let the cat out of the bag because they agree with The One.

Either The One, or somebody advising (controling?) him, is very sharp. If you look closely, most of his “blunders” and “naiveites” accomplish something that often seems unintented. It has happened to often to be coincidence. We HAVE to quit thinking of him as stupid or naive. If we don’t, we will lose and the future of the nation is at stake. The classic Southern man knows that as long as your adversary thinks that he is smarter than you, your advantage will get you what you want 99% of the time. Just because he’s a Yankee, doesn’t mean that he can’t use this tactic also. Remember, underestimating your foe asures his victory.

this photo to me shows laziness. is he to tired to sit up like an adult? is this job to tirering? wha the hell are his handlers thinking, do they not realize wha tthey are doing? do they give a crap?

Sorry, but there are many things wrong with this President’s policies but putting his feet up on the desk during a phone conversation where the other party isn’t present is no slight to the other side. How many of us do things while we are on the phone that were the other person present while we did them, would be rude, obnoxious, etc? I would rather have Mr. Obama put his feet up on the desk, then have Mr. Clinton playing hide the cigar with an intern there. We have more important things to worry about than this shoes on desk distraction. It makes us look unserious and out to get Obama at any cost, like the worst of the Bush Deranged Syndromers.

You better find a better version of that photo if you want to make a point

This is an absurd bit of goalpost-moving.

@Mike’s America:

I refer you to comment #12

@Mike’s America:

Thanks, Mike! I think that’s a good thing! LOL =)

So, looking forward to your correction on this bit:

“This may be the first time any President ever used the desk as a footstool, let alone permitted himself to be photographed doing so.”

Ooh, there’s a surprise.

Zuzu went running home to Balloon Juice and Juan Cole….

Suppose you explicate the text of your comment for us, Mike.

You choose your words for a specific purpose. Back during the campaign, you repeatedly referred to President Obama as “the junior senator from Illinois” in an attempt to underscore what you saw as his lack of preparation for the Presidency. You also called him “Barack HUSSEIN Obama” in an attempt to call attention to what you perceived as his Muslimness (and, incidentally, link him in readers’ minds with the leader of the country with which we’re at war). Again and again, you’ve called attention to his Chicago roots in an attempt to connect him to the widespread perception of corruption in that city’s government.

All these things are true, no doubt: he was the junior senator, his middle name is Hussein, and he does have a longstanding connection with Chicago. The important factor is not their truth or falsehood but, rather, the purposes you have for including them.

That brings us to your use of the word “mulatto.” (I don’t think that people are generally using that word any more, but, for the purpose of this discussion, we can pretend that it is still standard usage.) The president is, indeed, of mixed-race descent; in fact, I think that he once even referred to himself as “a mutt.” In the context of your comment, however, that fact is, as I’ve already mentioned, a non-sequitur. It has no bearing on the discussion at all, at least on the surface; why, then, did you mention it? You could have chosen any of a number of descriptions of the president: you could have written, “Or do you hold me to a higher standard than you do a 47-year-old President.” Or “a brown-eyed President.” Or “a nicotine-addicted President.” Or “a 6′ 2″ President.”

But you didn’t. You chose “mulatto.” Why? When you mentioned “junior senator,” “HUSSEIN,” and “Chicago,” you did it for a reason. You had a point to make. What was your point in specifying “mulatto?”

Hahha, u pwnd yourself with this post. I love how you make a boneheaded criticism, get called out about it, try to come back with some vaguely offensive term and suddenly boo-hoo, everyone’s trying to call you a racist! Wow, the whole circle of life in a single comments section. As a proud liberal, all I can say is Keep up the good work here guys, your foaming frothing nonsensical attempts at political discourse contribute nothing but making anyone who isn’t already a Club For Growth member even more disgusted at what the Republican Party has become. Rock on!

Hypocrisy? When are you going to apologize for this ridiculous post, which has no basis in fact? It doesn’t differentiate Obama from any other President, not the least of which is the President your defending right now! How about just a tiny, tiny bit of intellectual honesty here, just for a change Mike?

And if you want to talk about hate, Liberals admittedly called for Bush’s impeachment, sometimes in shrill terms, but thats a little different from the kind of hate your side is preaching now. In the interest of fairness and intellectual honesty, I will agree that MANY liberal went too far in how they expressed their hate of Bush verbally, but when was the last time a liberal went on a shooting rampage?

You won’t answer any of my questions because you only operate on hate and fear, not facts. This blog post is shameful in it’s hypocrisy and is the definition of intellectual dishonesty: the advocacy of a position which the advocate knows or believes to be false or misleading.

Hey Michael,

Have you seen Doc lately?
