even in the way they scope the derrieres of women Sarkozy and Obama are very different. Sarko is direct and unabashedly glances whereas Obama does the sort of “I’m just gonna play the gentleman helping out this young lady while I check out that other young lady’s fine a**”.
Judging from the video, I’d say guilty. But does it matter? It’s not like he flew to trysts in Argentina on the government’s dime, or had an affair while his wife was dying of cancer.
Um, the video doesn’t remotely disprove the claim that Obama was checking the girl out. Of course, it looks like Obama was looking around to the woman behind him to help her down the stairs, but any guy with just a modest level of skills will know how to time a move like that so that it coincides with being able to sweep one’s eyes surreptitiously past a different object of attention. :)
bruni better watch her back :-) though sarkozy prolly does that for her….

When your wife is Carla Bruni, not only to you have no business doing that, you have no excuse!

Ethan, when your wife is Carla Bruni if you’re lucky she might kind of dig it.

As my beautiful wife once said: “It’s okay for you to look. Looking is human. But if you touch, I’ll cut your balls off.” I love my wife.
