Oh, dear.

I know President Obama is human. But I don't always want proof.

Now you and I know this is exactly what it looks like: two men checking out a young woman's ass. But Fox news must be loving this opportunity to flaunt the mortality of our leader. A conservative Facebook friend who recently expressed her opinion that she strongly disapproves of Obama linked to the above photo on her Facebook status, which is how I found it. Here is the Reuters caption:

U.S. President Barack Obama (C) and

France's President Nicolas Sarkozy

(R) take their places with junior G8

delegates for a family photo at the G8

summit in L'Aquila, Italy, July 9.

Leaders of the Group of Eight major

industrial nations and the main

developing economies are meeting in

the central Italian city of L'Aquila until

Friday to discuss issues ranging from

global economic stimulus to climate

change and oil prices. REUTERS/Jason

I don't think there is anything wrong with a couple of guys checking out an attractive woman—it's natural, almost reassuring. Sexuality exists; it's okay to acknowledge it. Nonetheless, I'd still prefer this photo have not been taken, or that it had remained private. As a journalist I know it was too good not to publish, but I can't help but cringe just a little. I wonder if the administration will comment.
