Washington Times ^ | 9-4-13 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Shock, outrage and mocking criticism is building among conservatives — and those of other political stripes who put the White House and its possessions on a historical pedestal – over a photograph showing President Obama in an informal pose, with his foot on his Oval Office desk.

The desk hails back from 1880, a gift from Britain’s Queen Victoria. And even its construction is special: It was built with wood from the sunken Arctic Rescue Ship, the HMS Resolute. But to Mr. Obama, it’s a good place to rest his feet, as The Daily Mail reported.

That’s not a casual pose, he nearly split his pants getting that foot wedged up there for the camera. Utterly contrived shot.

Here's one that might.

Kids are expelled from school for holding their hands like that. Or is he bragging about his thingy in a Weiner kind of moment?

It appears Biden is trying to look “thoughtful.” What a great picture of America’s greatest liars.

When Biden was a senator, it was said the most dangerous place to be was between him and a camera crew.

Did you notice the chair is neatly pushed in? He didn’t just stand up to stretch his legs during a meeting and take a call. Staged. Like everything else about him, fake. The reality of and around this guy is all hidden from view.

I’d have to see it to believe it... he wouldn’t even enter the Oval Office without a jacket and tie on.

Where’s all the fly strips that usually hang all over room? Definitely a staged picture.

Well Obama loves to have his picture taken flipping the bird as if by accident. He’s proud of his hands.

As the first Muslim President, the usual insult of throwing a shoe has been refined to rubbing its sole on the desk of the previous C-I-C’s.

words just don't work any more.

I pointed the picture out to my wife as an example of complete disrespect for the nation. He simply doesn't care anymore what anyone thinks about what he does. His heart is a black hole of disgust for the American people. Unbelievable.
