Barack Obama checked out Mayara Tavares! So what?


                              


     I don't like Barack Obama.  There are many reasons why, including his love of bigger government and increased spending.  If you need just a few examples, just look at the economic stimulus, the energy bill, or his plans for health care.  By criticizing the President on these issues, it helps move the discussion and educate people to either look at a new perspective, or look for more information some place else.  Unfortunately, there seems to be a dearth of information related to the President's policies, yet the media seem to get hung up on nonsense.

     If you need an example of this, just check out the coverage of Barack Obama checking out a woman at the G8 Summit in Italy.  Newspapers from all over the world are hung up on the fact that Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were looking at a 16 year old Brazilian woman named Mayara Tavares.  Even more shocking is that ABC news, the new Obama network, took great strides to defend the moment by pointing out a video which seems to illustrate that the picture didn't accurately capture the moment, and that Barack Obama was not checking out the curvy female in the tight dress.

     Here's a question: Do we expect public officials not to look at members of the opposite sex?  Who cares if he looked at her or not?  The picture is certainly misleading if you don't look at the video, but even if it was a fair representation of what happened, and he were looking at Mayara Tavares, so what? 

     A man looking at a woman in a tight dress shouldn't be news.  What should be news is a thorough analysis of his health care plan, energy policy, foreign policy, and the handling of stimulus funds.  That's what I care about.  Admiring a woman is no big deal.  It's not like he was having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office.
