Pictures Can Lie


A picture has been published showing Obama appearing to stare at behind of a young woman as she walked passed him. People were quick to think sexual harassment and then quickly moved to something even more horrible when it came out that the young woman is only a girl of 17. This event was in Italy at a Summit earlier this week. I posted the offending picture on the left. The thing is just taken by itself it does look like Obama is checking her out in a sexual matter. The press has dubbed it "rumpgate". Fortunately MSNBC has posted a video exonerating Obama because He was just helping a woman navigate the steps they were standing on. The video is below. As for the other man in the picture,Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, i don't know what his excuse was. This just goes to show that photographs still need context to understand reality.
