presidential shudders

i'm so disappointed that there are multiple pictures of the current president of the united states that make me so uncomfortable, i shudder. this occured at the olympics this week.


i know photographers try to snap photos at moments of blunder, but...

he also attempted to give the german chancellor, merkel, a backrub at the G8 summit in 2006, which resulted in these shots:



shudder.

by the way, did you hear the one where the US president left the G8 summit meeting by saying "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter!" ?

yeah, that really happened. in poor taste, mr. president.
