The good news is that President Barack Obama is a real live red-blooded all-American man, and I don't know about you, but I'd much rather have that kind of guy running the most powerful nation in the world than some moribund frozen-pulse old fart (can you say the Bush boys?) leading the free world.
The bad news is that the commander-in-chief's sidelong and noticeably appreciative glance at the comely derriere of a Brazilian teenager, captured by photographers Thursday and currently burning up the Internet, is making more headlines than the work that he and the rest of the G8 leaders are trying to accomplish on the global economic front in L'Aquila, Italy, this week.
The photo shows curly-haired 16-year-old G8 delegate Mayora Tavares, in a flowing knee-length sleeveless burgundy dress, walking away from Obama, who is heading down some stairs when Tavares's, um, charms clearly catch his eye.
He's in good company, mind you.
To his left is French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose 13-years-younger bride is Italian model Carla Bruni, and who is no less discreet in his admiration of the girl from Rio who was attending the G8 as an activist for children's rights.
One gossip site suggested the men, in their open ogling, are "disgusting" while another said it's proof that "Obama is Brazilian."
The Drudge Report called it the "Second Stimulus Package."
Please.
Thank heavens Obama has a natural, instinctive eye for the ladies -- otherwise he'd be dead.
In fact, anthropologists will tell you that humans always have been, and always will be, attracted to beauty in the opposite sex, be it a peacock's plumage, a woman's curves or a man's burly biceps. It's what keeps the species interested, and going.
So if the U.S. president, who's married to a looker and is no slouch in the handsome department himself, has a thing for junk in the trunk, good on him.
Meantime, tennis star Serena Williams and celebutante Kim Kardashian, both famous for their bodacious butts, might want to watch where they sashay.
Because, clearly, No. 44's got game.
