British Press Continues to Mock Barack and Michelle’s Royal Adventure
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 26, 2011, 5:34 AM
Weird. You’d never see anything like this published in the state-run media here in the US.
Don’t they understand who they’re messing with?
This Daily Mail piece today mocks Michelle Obama – and the poorly placed plant behind her head.
(This screengrab was edited to show the picture under the headline)
Could you even imagine an American reporter writing this?
They’d be banned for life.
The Brits weren’t any easier with Barack. They slammed him for skipping an meeting with the Royal Society.
The Telegraph reported:
Had Mr Obama accepted the invitation, he would have been greeted by Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society, who won a Nobel prize in 2001 for advances in genetics and cell biology.
Instead he met pupils at the Globe Academy who had won an award for designing a lunchbox which folds out into a plate.
Here’s another headline at the British Telegraph…
Barack Obama was outclassed at yesterday’s Downing Street press conference
At least the Obamas know they can ALWAYS count on the American liberal media to carry their water.

The CriminalLiberalNewsMedia here in the U.S. continue to fawn over THE WON and the Wookie. This Administration continues to embarass our nation. No clue, no class, no sense.

Actually, I am not a fan of the Obama’s in any form or fashion, but she does carry it well.

And look at the superiority on O’s face. The arrogance on his face is all telling.
SamR commented:
Yeah, it’s funny. But any competent photographer would notice the background and slide sideways a bit. This is intentional, and so was the editor’s decision to print it.

Embarrassing moments?
What embarrassing moments?
If the sycophant media doesn’t print or report them, they didn’t happen.
John commented:
The difference between the U.S. and British photogs isn’t that the American ones wouldn’t be above framing someone like that; it that the way they use that framing device tends to be a lot more favorable to the Obamas.

National Embarrassment.

“Had Mr Obama accepted the invitation, he would have been greeted by Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society, who won a Nobel prize in 2001 for advances in genetics and cell biology.”
because Obama and his handlers know full well that if he stands shoulder to the shoulder with Sir Paul Nurse, comparisons would be made by the media regarding REAL accomplishments that warrant a Nobel Peace Prize. better to be seen with kids which makes the empty suit look like an adult, than to be seen with an actual adult that has accomplished something that truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. it’s all in the spin game.

Interesting how O always surrounds himself in an “Academy” setting, isn’t it? He’s conditioned to ‘reach out’ to the youth…
Love the afro Michelle – it’s YOU.

I bet the Stormfront people loved the headline for reminding everyone that the president and the first lady are (shudder) black. Isn’t that why Hoft loves it?
cal rifkin commented:
Used to love George and Weezy and the story line, while predictable, was always somewhat entertaining. These people, though, are true poseurs, and the very worst kind of social climbers…and what arrogance!!! That kindly mostly white, elitist libs have their young black Kennedys is obvious, but what’s the substance behind it all? It is vapid and vacuuous leftist social engineering and enviromarxism. Stomping it out will be required one more time in 2012..

Obama is a sick joke on America and shows what ignoramus’ the left is/are.
I knew he was a socialist BEFORE the election.
So Anus Drool, are you a socialist or ignorant?? pick one.

Judging from your posts, you’ve cornered the ignorance market. Hope your dry powder is helping with your rash, though!

I guess Sir Paul Nurse needed some help to stop people questioning global warming.
Freedom of information laws are used to harass scientists, says Nobel laureate
Sir Paul Nurse
He said the government should examine the issue, and think about TWEAKING freedom of information legislation to recognise potential misuse. Sounds like Cass Sunstein’s “nudge.”

Anus Drool you did not answer the question.
Are you a socialist or just ignorant of the presidents background and associations??
You can’t touch this question without reveiling yourself as an anti American.
Powder is dry and YOU are the rash that is killing America.

Sorry, while I can hope that you’re capable of a more elevated form of discourse, I can’t seriously engage with a discussion with you until you grow up a little. You start with making fun of a person’s name by connecting it to a biological function, then you cut to calling people socialists —
How can anyone take you seriously?
Still, I enjoyed your unintentionally funny closing lien about the rash that is destroying America.
You aren’t destroying America, MC — you’re just making it dumber.

These two are the Ugly Americans who travel to Europe to act superior. The gaff reporting is long overdue. Obama will never get protocol because he doesn’t give a rat’s bottom what he says or does because he thinks he’s the big cahuna.
It would have been nice however if Mrs. O had the sense to wear a dress that didn’t look like she just finished the remake of THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH.

Speaking of the Royal Wedding Rush said that the Obamas stayed in the hotel room which was occupied by William and Kate on their Wedding Night. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO DO THAT?

Sorry, my phone startled me. As I was writing. I see no “race aspect” in the MAIL headline. Please enlighten me.
Bunni commented:
THAT is the most hilarious pic ever!
I’m glad the Brit media treats them with the respect they deserve, NONE!
Moochie should wear that look more often, it balances the hugeness of her butt.
Barky seems to approve, although that superiority complex smirking, grin of his is really nauseating.. He always has the look of a drugged up, brain dead zombie who doesn’t know it’s 2011.
George and Weezie would be WAY preferable to these two clueless cretins.
This trip will go down in history as the most gaffe filled and ridiculous in history.
I can’t wait for the day we bring CLASS back into the WH.

Chicago, while your comparison is spot on, I feel the need to point out that Sir Paul Nurse received the Nobel for Physiology or Medicine.

Radegunda commented:
I’m sure Janus Duel has no objection to the many photos in the U.S. media that construct a halo around Barry’s head. And no objection to all the Dems who reflexively say “raaaacist” whenever Barry is criticized for any reason — e.g., for the number of people on food stamps under his presidency.
The Daily Mail has done many flattering stories about the Obamas. They have also done many nasty stories about white conservatives. So somebody at DM has noticed that the reality of the Obamas doesn’t match the hype, and they’re starting to subject them to a bit of less-than-flattering coverage — i.e., to treat them just like other mortals.
I guess JD doesn’t think the Obamas should be treated like mere mortals — just as most Democrats believe he should be exempt from any criticism.
jimg commented:
Ordinarily, having the foreign press mock the POTUS would bother me … because – by extension – they’re mocking the United States.
But with this guy? This preening narcissist? Clearly somebody needs to knock him down a peg. Or three.
Have at it.
Sheila commented:
Oxycon notes the wookie is wearing a “Mr. T’s starter set” (LOL) = perfect accompaniment to that hair!! It fit her overall image so well that it took a moment for me to realize it was a plant behind her in the photo. I genuinely thought she was wearing one of those big headdresses, a la the Supremes. D’Won doesn’t embarrass me, because he does not represent me or mine in any way, shape, or form. He’s proclaimed often enough, in word and deed, that he’s championing and representing “his people” – and since I’m neither black nor Muslim, I’m immune.
Peggy R commented:
Did you hear the Black Sphere on Allman today? He suggested that M.O. had had enough of white Europeans and O pretending to be white, first Irish, then British, on this trip. M.O. decided thus to head home. Also, it is noted she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring last night. She looked nice enough at both dinners, but she endured lots of embarrassment at her flying hair and skirts in windy Ireland and London.
Wading Across commented:
#7, SamR has it right. Look at the photo. The plant wasn’t positioned behind Mrs. Obama or she in front of it. Rather, the photographer was positioned in such a way that the photo looked like it was behind her – a botanical halo… or a wild wreath.
If anyone was directly in front of the foliage it was Phillip.
And, as SamR pointed out, the editors of the Mail saw the shot for what it was and went with it since it added to their feelings about the Obamas.
A funny picture it is, but not much more than that. Just like everyone making a big deal about Michelle’s wind-whipped hair the other day. Whoopdeedo.
Are we really relegating ourselves to making fun of the Obamas over every little flaw, especially “created” ones? This is different than his flubbing a toast, returning a gift(bust) or giving a useless, tasteless gift (DVDs).
It makes us on the right look petty. We are not the left.
Teddy commented:
At least the dress Moo was wearing looked normal. The ghetto chic CZs not so much. When will this embarrassment end? Not that we actually need them back to screw things up some more any time soon.
sandy commented:
Just last Thursday Obama wanted Israel to go back to its 1967 borders which would lead to its demise and two days ago he didn’t even know what year it was. We watch as our economy falls further with each passing day as this guy does victory laps around the world on our dime. Sure the British with their 1000 year history laugh at the absurdity of this couple but they are also laughing at us.

Michelle is married to a man that has no idea who he is. But that’s her problem — our problem is that some of Obama’s incarnations are downright dangerous.
Meg commented:
Just looks like she is wearing one of the kookie hats the brits wear. Makes her fit in.
Radegunda commented:
Wading Across #52, I agree that it’s petty to ridicule people for things they cannot control, such as wind whipping their hair or clothes. And Michelle chose nice dresses for both dinners.
But it doesn’t really bother me to see her being taken down a few pegs, given what I know about her sour attitude, her dislike for the rest of us (“America is a downright mean country”); her lack of appreciation for the advantages she has been handed; her excessive self-regard (wondering why U. Chicago didn’t court her); holding herself up as an example to emulate (“look at me and see: this is what an education can do”); suggesting that the rest of us don’t understand the military’s sacrifices in the way she does, etc. etc. When somebody with such ugly attitudes is vaulted into a position far above her merits and thinks she earned it, maybe she deserves some embarrassment.
Radegunda commented:
Meg — good point!
CommieJuice commented:
Obama running away to Ireland and England while the Israel Prime Minister schools Congress on freedom and Israel… typical, Paddy Obama finding his “Irish” roots… hilarious, Obama signing 2008 in the guest book… hopeless, Obama botching the toast to the queen… clueless, Michelle looking like the offspring of Diana Ross and Rupaul… priceless!

Actually, there are three “plants’ in that photo. Agent 000, born a Brit, should have been eligible for HMSS. We all know why Phil is smiling like a Cheshire Cat is because he married ‘up’ an won’t have to endure the privations of austerity measures. For a ‘prince,’ he certainly didn’t give any thought to crowding the First Lady into the shrubbery. Or, did he? If he tries that with the Queen, she’ll have him ‘potted’ at Frogmore! LOL!

MariaA commented:
Her dress was an imitation of the black dress Princess Di wore on her visit with Prince Charles to President Raegan ( the one she was wearing when she danced with John Travolta). Don’t know if it was intentional but it was unfortunate.
Wading Across commented:
Ah yes, fling slurs and insults, Militant. It just gives your point and reputation such weight. Continual use of insulting nicknames to those you disagree with and/or dislike says more about you and less about those you’re ridiculing.
But of course, I’m just a mobi or a troll according to fellow conservatives who disagree with my statements… or I’m just not conservative enough.
My faith comes before my political ideology. I’d rather be a fool for Christ than a fool for any supposed conservative ideology/party/movement. Sadly it seems many people who’re probably Christians are giving more attention to their political leanings instead of their witness. And I say this as a broad statement since I clearly know nothing about you except what I’ve read here.

. . . Michelle is wearing a Mr. T starter set.
==========================================
OC, you owe me a keyboard and an ER run for the fractured rib. That has to be the best possible summary of Seabiscuit’s fashion ‘taste.’ Like most of her clothing choices, that bit of CZ is flashy & trashy. She may be married to the current occupant of the Oval Office, but she is utterly tasteless & classless, no more a ‘ Lady ‘ than Pamela Anderson, much less ‘First’ anything.
. . . and then there’s Øshama looking at the Queen’s consort with clear disdain.
Prince Phillip has more class in a fleck of his dandruff than these two disgraces will achieve in a lifetime of fraud.
Good job, Seabiscuit; you make me ashamed to admit shared citizenship with those fools which put the two of you into the People’s House. Granted, many of the votes were from illegal aliens like your jockey, but there were still all too many zombies.
