Sometimes, a White House press conference can be a chance for a president to take some weight off his shoulders ... but weight off his fingers?
Eagle-eyed reporters noticed that President Barack Obama wasn't sporting his wedding ring during Friday's White House press conference.
"big to-do over potus not wearing his wedding ring today," Tweeted The Hill's Sam Youngman, who was at the presser.
Obama's wedding band is "an intricate gold design from Indonesia, where he had lived as a boy," the New York Times reported in 2009.
Michelle will probably be okay with it; after all, she once left home without her wedding ring, too.

Was the ring on his right hand?At least he wasn't wearing it in his nose.
But seriesly I don't wear my ring all the time especially when I know I'm going to be in a bad neighborhood.

I bet the ring is being re-sized to fit his skinnier finger. He’s lost some weight.

...WTF needs to be fixed on a simple wedding band??? The incredible shrinking president needed to have it downsized.

Obama seems to have lost quite a bit of weight. Remember how thin and drawn he looked when he gave the speech about (supposedly) the end of the war in Iraq?
Perhaps the ring is too large and keeps slipping off of his finger?

Being Mac Daddy the first I would have expected him to be able to throw it across the ocean at the very least.

It is a prop and a fake, like everything else about these two.
Leaving a prop home is no big deal.
Why would het have a Muslim Indonesian ring if he were married in a Christian ceremony?

Ha my imagination went there too. It’s an “Indonesian” design. It would not be incredibly far fetched to imagine it had some arabic inscription that he wanted to remove for political insurance purposes. Probably just getting it re-sized or something though. A Tiger Woods-style sex scandal would provide amusing election season entertainment though so we can always pretend Michelle gnawed it off his hand.

I think it fell off while he was in the closet.

Say something ambiguous like “Sort of, there is this gal I see off and on.” Make it sound like your keeping things casual despite the other gals pressure to commit. That way she not only wants to steal you, she wants to steal you BETTER!
This was a recent study, I always remember it because my brother and I were remarking upon the phenomena, as well as the ring of temptation (you put on a wedding band, and suddenly you get hit with temptation like never before): when his twit of a wife chimed in with “Women wouldn't do that to each other!”
LOL! Yeah right!
This study confirmed what my brother and I had said, women want you more when you are IN a relationship.

I watched (as much as I could stand) but didn’t notice the missing ring. Tuned into Rush and he mentioned it.
He DID however mention his Christian faith. Liar.

You know what an even bigger to-do-about-nothing in the news is?
The stupid koran burning story. Obama and Co are hyping this so that blame for any muslim violence gets put squarely on Christians.
Religion of peace my left buttock. Religion of Threats is dead-on accurate.

He’s lost weight, he may need it resized smaller.

Actually, this was only after Rush mentioned it on his show today. One of his staff noticed it and made Rush aware of it. But you are correct about not vetting him.
