talk to me
How the hell does this happen to the Leader of the Free World — the POTUS allow this to happen?!?
In my mind, the POTUS is the embodiment of The People and our representative to The World. Even when he’s in the bathroom. But particularly at a foto op. Just Me™?
So I thought, maybe it’s the Gurrl in me not comprehending Guy Stuff, so I asked The Mister. Who is a Guy.
We both think Scott Van Duzer, left, owner of Big Apple Pizza and Pasta Italian Restaurant is essentially a big, friendly dawg of a guy who meant no harm. [He clearly coulda broken Obobo's back but he didn't. so there's that.]
But The Mister’s take was at 0:06 where he says “Everybody look at these guns!” and em-bare-assing the guy. Not quite “Looka them teats,” but not appropriate, either.
Also the *joke* “What’re you a power lifter?” Power — geddit.
Cuz he certainly couldn’t have been referring to his own significant weight in a rational world. Hell — *I* could lift that little toothpick.
My two moments were at 0:28 when the guy changes positions and Obobo is so passive. Anybody does that to me and they’ll have a firm hand in their chest.
And at 0:10 with the shoulder lift and Nancy-Boy body language. ick.
Leadership.
So guyz — set me straight on this whole Guy Thing / body language / appropriate guy behavior aspect.
Cuz — while it will be adored by the purse swingin’, CircleD Beta Bistro Boyz — to my mind this is an A#1 Election Loser in the eyes of regular fellas who ride tractors, load roofs, fix diesels, etc… And the women who like their Men to be Men. IF they even see it.

Wa-ha, cowboy.
Surprised the SS wasn’t all over that guy!
Feh!
I think they just wanted to set up an anti-Joe-the-Plumber thing.
Either The Chairman™ knew it was comin’,
or his an inherently passive wimp who’s used to being shoved around.
Ikk! Here I am just returned from a 20 year trip in space with no news from back on Earth. I land. I get plugged into this youtube thing and this is what I see:
There’s some skinny black guy in this video who is acting like he’s just out of college… looks like he’s running for his first term in the state legislature… way out of his depth… trying to pander to demographics he knows nothing about… maybe there’s a big gay vote in his district…. or maybe he thinks that he’ll impress guys with “big guns” by acting like a pussy….
Someone tells me that skinny guy is the sitting POTUS. I laugh. A lot. And then I say:
“No, seriously, who is this poser, and what minor office is he trying to ingratiate himself into?”
Seriously Claire,
The guys I hang out with tend to be ex-mil, maybe the occasional current. Mostly drive trucks, or bikes — the Harley kind. Arsenals. Not scared of grease & dirt. Healthy interest in women. Kill rattlers without bothering with the gun.
At 6′ and 200lb, I’m the littlest guy I know well. We are all kind of huggy & shoulder thumpy… actual guy affection*… with guys we know well.
The shit on this video looks nothing like what I know. This vid is creepy. I wouldn’t let either of those guys touch me — or get any closer than I could help. I’m really sure there’s not a single guy I know who wouldn’t feel the same.
Politics aside, if I knew nothing else about this man, I’d run to the nearest polling place to help vote this weirdo out of office… and then contribute to the White House Fumigation Fund.
Seriously? This vid? WTF?
* Good to be close with guys you might need at your back.
What I meant to say in my post above was, “Yeah Claire, think you got it about right. At least I sure as hell hope so.”
Think this vid would play best with some of those who’d vote for him no matter what.
By the way, it looks a little staged to me…..
(so maybe jibes at the SS aren’t entirely fair)
Ironic: ““No, seriously, who is this poser …”
Canadians would say, “hoser”.
I sit in awe – there’s just nobody who can act as Presidential as the Obama. Almost every day, he brings new dignity to the office.
Did anybody catch the news about how the Most Brilliant Man Ever to Inhabit the White House (TM) doesn’t know how to work an iPhone:
iPhone trouble
” A reporter who witnessed the scene said the president looked “befuddled.”
“It’s not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone,” the reporter wrote in a pool report.”
Later this week: “DOJ Investigates Apple, Gov’t Takeover Imminent”.
If he didn’t get tackled by a couple of SS goons, it was obviously scripted.
PS: “When will Rep. Jackson (D – Bud Light) get back to work?”

When the Grand Jury adjourns for the year?
I’d rather he’da barfed on some China guy…….
Simply one more proof in the ever-expanding column inventory of H.D.K.W.T.F.H.I.D!!
Ha Ha he gave him a wedgie—
This is so a set up.
The Secret Service would have perforated that guy if it hadn’t been.
Does anyone (I don’t mean anyone here of course) buy this guys bs?
Sounds like a nice guy who has done some good things but this lapse of judgement is earning him a boycott.
Scott Van Duzer, the Obama hugger: Shop facing boycott
Maybe I’m old fashioned or something, Regular Guys don’t do that shit…… Unless maybe they’re related……..
12″ rule.
That may be done among friends horsing around, or in hazing a newby in the group, but not to POTUS. All it takes is a look and some poise, and that’ll never happen. Uhbama socially is an adolescent with nothing but a thin veneer of arrogance or giddy giggles to see him through interpersonal relationships that require some finesse.
I was talking to a retired SS agent today who served on a former president’s personal security detail. He said the guys he worked with would have plugged this traitor themselves by now, and wonders what has happened to oath takers today.
Hyperbole aside, his statement and stuff like this vid makes me wonder how rotten the core really is.
Caption; Larry Sinclair! Wow, I thought you were dead…
A friend just posted this on my Face Book from the Huffington puffington post— the comments are very interesting– they think it’s the most wonderful thing happening to the most wonderful president. puke!!!
Well shucks, folks voting with their feet — and their wallets:

A coupla thoughts. Okay,
threefour.1. Claire (and everyone else), you are correct in every aspect. Ewwww.
B. This is what the biggest (most powerful) guy in the group does to the littlest (least powerful) guy in the
grouppack. I’ll let you figure out what that means.III Clearly a setup.
> At least he wasn’t wearing a stupid helmet (or sperm suit).
Correct man method for hugging another male aka: the bro hug:*
1. Grab hand in a firm handshake. A warrior’s wrist grip is acceptable as well.
2. Close in for hug while still maintaining handshake grip ensuring that your arm is between the both of you.
3. With opposing arm commence hug with one second of tight embrace.
4. After one second, proceed to slap the back three times signifying that hug is at an end.
5. After breaking the hug, talk about football, hunting, or other manly endeavors.
* note, this is only to be preformed with those who are as brothers or close family friends. Though it can be performed with enemies if you have a concealed dagger in your off hand in which case it is known as the Brute.
^ Skippy nailed it.
Depending on circumstances and relationship, the one second rule may have a little flex in it.
Don’t have to say we didn’t see anything like that in this video.

Bing! KNEW I was missing something, couldn’t put my finger on it. That’s it. (Now cueing to Captain Zero with Putin….)
Here’s a thing about the 1st Couple: neither one of them is a real Alpha, and even their most adoring fans subconsciously sense it….
Idiot!! You could have snapped his spine like a match!
Sure, you would have immediately thereafter been blown so full of holes, you couldn’t hold your vittles….
But there would have been statues of you EVERYWHERE; and schools and parks and maybe even a warship named after you!
