There must be exceptions for rulers.

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.
Who cares. I occasionaly take my wedding band off because of preventing a a rash from soap That does not mean I love my wife any less....
There must be exceptions for rulers.
We always thought President Obama’s wedding ring was just a plain old gold band: the same style that many men wear. But then we read this interesting tidbit in the New York Times Magazine’s cover story “First Marriage.”
Just before the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. pronounced Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson man and wife on the evening of Oct. 3, 1992, he held their wedding rings — signifying their new, enduring bonds — before the guests at Trinity United Church of Christ. Michelle’s was traditional, but Barack’s was an intricate gold design from Indonesia, where he had lived as a boy.
Nevermind the Reverend Wright part–that’s been covered, to say the least–but what jumped out was that the president’s band is actually “an intricate gold design from Indonesia.” Well, that’s a little more stylish than we thought!
O is not religious. I don’t think he even believes in a Creator. But the absence of jewelry is a convention for males during certain holidays in Islam. He is such an a** h**e mocking faith this way. Can’t wait til America drop kicks him to obscurity.
Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
Now THAAATS funny!!
Don’t we have bigger issues to concerned with.
Remember those odd pictures posted yesterday of the two of them greeting after returning from their respective trips? You talk about FROSTY!
Can it be that the First Wonkette is even fed up with Obozo Hussein?
Maybe she is fed up with his male Lover who is by his side 24/7??
Looks like snakes.
Yep! Obozo wouldn’t be adored by the Muslim World as Their Prophet from ALLAH if he is a convert to Christianity! Let’s remember what this Violent Cult does to Women who allegedly dishonor the families or to anyone who converts to the Infidel’s Religion! It usually results in a Horrific Death! Not Adulation by the Very Terrorists!
Depending on the sighting of the waxing crescent moon, Ramadan in North America does not end until this evening.
Does anyone have a picture of 0bama wearing his wedding ring during the last month?
Inquiring minds want to know.
0bama may or may not consider himself a Christian but Muslims believe that he is a Muslim because his father was a Muslim. He may be trying not to piss them off. It would be about the only group he isn't trying to piss off.

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.
In the land od Mordor where the darkness lies.
I found some fairly decent shots of it online. I’ll see what more I can find.
Yeah, my ex used to leave the ring lying around, too.
Re: your pic... Dood. That’s just WRONG.
That’s interesting.
