Obama’s wandering eyes?

Good morning, Netizens...

There are, in theory, two versions of this picture. One shows U.S. President Barack Obama (C) and France's President Nicolas Sarkozy (R) as they take their places with junior G8 delegates for a family photo at the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy, July 9, 2009.

The other "version" of the picture notes more deliberately that Obama is attracted to the 16 year-old girl before he remembers who and what he is, while in the meantime, Sarkozy can barely hide his amusement behind his hands.

My only advice to the President of the United States is, regardless how comely the lithesome young woman may be, don't look. Stick to the higher moral ground and keep other nations wondering.

Do you have any other advice for our President's wandering eyes?
