It looked more like a scene out of the The Sound of Music in Austria than the G7 Summit in Germany.
In between family photos with leaders at the G7 Summit, cameras caught German Chancellor Angela Merkel animatedly speaking with a relaxed President Obama. The photo of Merkel with her arms outstretched prompted comparisons to Julie Andrews famous twirling scene in the Austrian Alps in The Sound of Music.

You'll have to go to the site to see "the picture" but to me it looks like Merkel is saying WTF is wrong with you!

GayBCDisney is taking the “viral meme” angle of this story.
I don’t recall seeing any “Sound of Music” comments in yesterday’s FReeper “caption this” thread (or the one on the beer summit with Merkel).
But I’ll bet that none of the right’s critiques of the photo made ABCD’s campy news item.

half of the comments at GLBTABCDisney are about that one time W put his hand on Merkel’s shoulder.
Maybe they need to squeeze BDS in the network name.

She's trying to surmount the galaxy of difference between the level of her own intellect, experience, character and HIS!
It looks like she's exasperated.

What she's really saying.....
"What the ______ are you doing. Every nation on earth is laughing at you. Are you stupid?"
To: McGruff
Did anyone expect the media to give an accurate picture? Meanwhile, violent race riots are only a matter of time back home while the world burns, so burns our own country.
To: Travis McGee
Hmmm...very odd. This picture brings to mind a scene from one of your books. "The Reconquista" I think it was. It came to mind the very second I saw the pic. The bench in the wooded surroundings at a summit is what did it.

The FAA is doing its level best (dragging its bureaucratic feet, mostly) to inhibit private citizens use of UAV/UAS.
It could be incompetence.
It could be bureaucratic inertia.
It could be malfeasance.

The look on Merkels face says it all.
ABC is nothing but a group of political liars and spin doctors. As are the rest of the MSM.
I have never seen such spin as the past few years. It boggles the mind, the constant stream of lies.
I have seen better reporting in Weekly World News.

I can picture Obummer singing, “Nothing comes from nothing. Nothing ever could. But ever since my youth and childhood; I’ve screwed up everything, but good!”

That definitely looks like a WTF moment. Only the background scenery evokes Von Trappe memories.
