The charmer-in-chief: Obama gets flirty as he schmoozes with Thai prime minister

President Obama is practicing a new brand of foreign relations, appearing to flirt with Thailand’s attractive prime minister on his first stop of his three-day tour of Southeast Asia.

The president and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could be seen laughing together and exchanging playful glances throughout a state dinner at the Government House in Bangkok on Sunday night.

One of the many things I admired about George W. Bush is that you always felt that all women ended at their neck with him. The more attractive the woman, the more he would look her right in the eye, never deviating.

For a man as photograhed as much as a President of the United States, I can not recall a single untoward glance from Dubya ever being caught on camera.

correct me if I’m wrong but don’t Asians refrain from public displays of affection like this? Don’t they bow or something? obama is such an A^&h(*le.

However, G.W. Bush's attempt to massage Angela Merkel’s neck was pretty distasteful. Neither Bush nor Obama can hold a candle to Bill Clinton in these matters. This country is apparently incapable of electing the caliber of men to the Presidency it once did, e.g., Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. Neither Eisenhower nor Reagan was a saint in sexual matters, but they kept their personal lives off-limits and never made any remark or gesture that could be considered distasteful.

Exactly. She’s very much more Hillary’s cup of tea.

I actually think that if anything, this may be Barry’s equivalent of when Bush got inappropriately playful with Angela Merkel.

It can be hard for men in power to know to treat female counterparts equally—and not like somebody’s wife at a social event.

None. Moochie is searching for a boy toy replacement (to replace the loss of Reggie Love in Barry’s life). With luck, the new boy toy for Barry will be given to him by Christmas and she’ll never have to bother with Barry molesting her.

According to Wiki, Ms. Shiniwatra actually got her master’s degree from KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY!!

I wonder whether the MSM will now look down on her for the lack of an appropriate educational pedigree? Nah, they reserve that just for Sarah . . .

Bronco, you numba 10!

What you didn’t see is the arrival when he got out of the car and embracing his hostess, walked away with her, leaving Hillary behind still alighting from the car. It was his hostess who realized Hillary had been ignored and went back to greet her.
