Obama Checking Out Girl at G8?

Photo and Video May Show Different Things

MYFOX NATIONAL - The photo that has been making the rounds Friday is one of President Barack Obama at the G8 Summit in Italy.

Earlier in the week the story was about his daughter Malia's peace t-shirt, but all attention is back on the president after he was photographed looking in the direction of a young lady while standing with France's President Nicolas Sarkozy. The photo shows him looking toward the woman as she passed.

TMZ.com published the image with the headline "Baby Got Barack," while FoxNews.com referenced the image with a straight news caption, "President Obama and France's President Nicolas Sarkozy take their places for a photo with junior G-8 delegates, including Brazil's Mayora Tavares, left, at the G-8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy", but linked to it with the description " PHOTOS: Obama Raises Eyebrows at G-8 Photo Op ."

The New York Post reported that the girl is a 17-year-old delegate from Brazil.

But video from the event seems to tell a different story. The video shows Obama looking down at the steps as he and other delegates position themselves for a photo op. Just as the teenage delegate passes, the president looks down and the back to help another woman as she steps down next to him.

Was the president checking out the girl in the photo? DrudgeReport.com posted the image Friday morning with the headline "SECOND STIMULUS PACKAGE!" and Huffington Post.com has more than 400 comments that go back-and-forth on what the leaders were doing in the photo.
