Discuss among yourselves.
I’ll start it off.
Its very apparent, Mr. President, that you really don’t understand what this job is about, nor do you have any appreciation what so ever, it seems, for the history behind that desk you are using as a foot rest.

In front of that is: He has no respect for the office.
Just a street corner in the ‘hood.

Other things went on under the desk in BJ Clinton’s administration.
And yes, this guy has no clue of the history, either.

Hey now. I’m pretty sure I can dig up pictures of most of the photographed presidents using that desk as something besides it’s intended use.
Actually a google search is a wonderful thing
Even though the web site itself is questionable it does have the pictures I was looking for.

Given that the published photos of the younger Mr. Bush and Mr. Ford, Jr., are now in wide circulation, I’m surprised you haven’t personally acknowledged that this is common human behavior for a stressed executive trying to relax. I would have thought you knew better, or would have admitted so in the face of evidence so readily available.

So what? It in no way detracts from the fact that this guy is just another punk who has no clue and no plan other than the socialist one.

I don’t, personally, think it’s the best picture, but — whatever. It sure does bring to mind Bill Clinton’s skankiness with that desk. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to put his feet under the desk?
But I don’t know how happy I would be to be talking to the boss while they sat cranked back in their chair with their feet on the desk, while we all stood around.
