Now a new video from ABC clears up the image that misleadingly seems to show the president admiring a girl’s backside. Instead, the president was just helping another woman behind him to down the stairs when all of them were taking places for a family photo.
But French president Nicholas Sarkozy was so suspicious. LOL! Check out the video below:
Felipe Solis Olgin, director of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology , caused President Barack Obama's swine flu scare. On April 16 three days after the swine influenza virus broke out in Mexico, Felipe Solis, 64, hosted Barack Obama at his museum when the President paid a one-day trip to the country's capital Mexico City before travelling on to attend the Americas summit in Trinidad and Tobago. Unfortunately, one week after that meeting, Mr. Felipe Solis, a distinguished archaeologist, passed away. As it was first thought Solis died from "flu-like symptoms, many concerned the President may have a brush with the swine flu virus. To their relief, the White House now said Obama’s health was not in any danger, "The president’s trip to Mexico has not put his health in any danger," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said in a press conference.“The incubation period is 24 to 48 hours and we have been back from Mexico for nine days now. The doctors say he was not at risk.” Solis’s death cause was confirmed as pneumonia by Health Minister Jose Cordova, but Artdaily.org's official obituary said he suffered a heart attack.

“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world.
“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”

New York Post cartoonist Sean Delonas drew a cartoon showing two white cops shooting a champanzee to parodize the police’s shooting of Travis The Chimp in Connecticut and mock Washington's efforts to revive the economy. The chimp cartoon unexpectedly stirred the controversy, being accused of “at worst racist”.
At best insensitive to the victim of this week's mauling of a woman by a pet chimp, and at worst racist, the New York Post released a cartoon today [February 18] that could be interpreted as comparing Barack Obama to a chimpanzee.
As the Huffington Post says:
At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what (cartoonist Sean) Delonas wanted.
“They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.” New York Post and Sean Delonas are stormed by the chimp “racist” cartoon.
On the following day of January 20 when Barack Obama succeeded George W. Bush as President of USA, Veet, Australia's depilatory products brand, ran an ad depicted only by two major words Googdbye Bush on a newspaper. Couldn't be any more fit! Travolution photographed this "brilliant and hilarious" ad and shared it with everyone on Twitpic.

Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro is the mother of President hopeful and Senator Barack Obama. Born in 1942 in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Stanley Ann Dunham attended the University of Hawaii in the late 1950's. It was during her study in UH that Ann Dunham met Barack Obama's father Kenyan student Barack Obama Sr. and got engaged, and later married on February 2, 1961 in Maui, Hawaii, after discovering she was pregnant. Barack Obama was born on August 4 the same year. Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. divorced in 1965, when he left for Harvard University to continue his education. In 1967 when Barack Obama Jr. was 3 years old, Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro an Indonesian student in UH , so that's why there was a "Soetoro" in Dunham's name. Dunham and Soetoro divorced in the late 1970s. In 1992, the 50-year-old Stanley Ann Dunham earned a Ph.D. in anthropology for her 1067-pages-long dissertation Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: Surviving and Thriving Against All Odds from the University of Hawai'i. Ann Dunham died in 1995 of ovarian cancer and uterine cancer at the age of 52. In A Free-Spirited Wanderer Who Set Obama’s Path, New York Times reporter Janny Scott runs a fabulous biography on Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro. A Must Read!
