President Barack Obama became the first president honored as chief guest for India’s Republic Day parade with an old habit: gum chewing.

Obama popped in a piece of chewing gum during Monday’s parade, according to pool reports and local press.

The president could be seen “at certain points” chewing gum while watching the procession, which celebrates that day the Constitution of India came into force in 1950, one pool report said.

Obama was also spotted chewing upon his arrival as he greeted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in video posted by The Times of India. The outlet called it an “ungainly sight.”

Yeah, but Boner and McDonnell are really, really busy with their number one goal: “...crushing the Tea Party!”

“There have been SO MANY things this president and his administration have done that we are worn out.”

Evidently not. Gallup has him at 50% approval rate today.

I believe Gallup accommodates him out of fear of retaliation. Really!

The only thing we really can do (and it will be most difficult) is to vote for our states to invoke a Constitutional Convention and get rid of all of these bums, their confiscatory taxes and regulations. It has to be done and in my opinion, that is the only way to save our America!!

I don’t know about other parts of the country, but here in the south it’s common for blacks to chew and/or pop their gum as a way of “diss’n” the man.

Basically, IMO, Obama is saying “I’m the most important person here”.

Did you happen to see Watters World the other night and note that 3 of 7 cannot name the 1st Prez of the US? Really disgusting, and these people should NOT be allowed to vote—they are responsible for the state of our country.

It was probably either that or light up a Marlboro Menthol. No discipline or self control, everything and everyone must cater to him, the pathology of a thoroughly spoiled child. My embarrassment that my fellow countrymen and women elected this monstrosity (even if it was the result of massive vote fraud - he should never have gotten close enough for such to work) only grows.

Anybody's gum-chewing anywhere is an unpleasant sight. Particularly with mouth open as even a surprising number of adults (by the calendar, anyway) do.

No fear, he and her both are a ungainly site here also, especially her from a rear view. If anyone doesn’t need to tell other people how to eat, it’s her.
