Exactly! He knew there were cameras in the room so he plays in your face using one OUR historic items as a prop. Disturbing at the least.

“It’s an “in your face” thing to all the American people that know what he is, a sign of disrespect for us and the history and ideals and symbols of America. The people that adore and support him don’t give a rats ass about America the ideal. To obama and his supporters America is just another place.”

He’s also making a “finger gun.”

Is he licensed to carry that thing?

Ronald Reagan wouldn’t even take his jacket off while working in the Oval Office, that’s how much respect he had for his position,

By the by,

I was fortunate to get to visit the west wing back in 2008, and at that time, the Norman Rockwell ‘Statue of Liberty’ painting hanging in the background was in the next room, around the corner thru the door from where smiling Joe is sitting. Anyway, I took a moment to look at it and was told it was a gift of Steven Spielberg and when the Clinton’s left the white house, Hillary tried to take that painting with them claiming it was a personal gift, the office of accounting (or something like that) prevented her theft,

I agree, and at the very least, there is grit on the bottom of the shoe. On the desk it becomes sand-paper with upwards of 150 pounds of pressure behind it.

Isn't that a gang signal he's making with his right hand?

It reminds me of that camera shot of Trayvon's father standing close to three other adult black male pals who were all making different gang signals with their fingers for the benefit of the photo.

Obama is ghetto trash with a makeover.

Its more like a deep seated loathing of this country.

I believe it is this ... plus a deep resentment toward heterosexuals.

When zawahri wanted to give an order to his jihadis, he posed with his weapon and published the image. The order depended on which side it was on and where it was facing, the position of his hands and fingers on or off, what accessories were attached or removed, whether the muzzle was pointed up or down...you get it.
This looks very much like those images...a message to those who can read them when WE can’t. Like speaking English to us and arab to muslims.
He is pi$$ed at Britain. He is pi$$ed at us. This is a message and it could be to muslims overseas or possibly to his black troops here. Watch and see what happens after this image circulates. It’s an ‘official’ image so it will be seen worldwide.

While I never cared about the whole "suit jacket on vs. suit jacket off" in the Oval Office thing, this is just plain obnoxious. Putting your foot up on something that high is not done unconsciously.

Wow, I had forgotten about the sole of the shoe as an insult in the muslim world. That’s EXACTLY what he’s doing. He’s showing great disrespect for the office, and for this country.

Once we get that puke out of office, we need an exorcist to cleanse it of evil spirits.

That was my impression too. My husband is an inch taller than Obama and has long legs. The Resolute desk is 32” high ( I looked it up.) which it 2” taller than our kitchen table. I can't imagine my husband throwing his foot up to the tabletop for any normal reason.

Not very classy, but I have seen photos of several past presidents with their feet on the desk- I know I have seen pictures of President Johnson and President Bush doing it. Not sure why any of them would do it, but he is not alone.

We should be able to suspend him for that.
