You know who used to love Barry Obama’s “thinking face”? PEGGY NOONAN, that’s who. And here’s a ridiculous Slideshow of our president looking very interested in all kinds of mundane crap. This is what freedom looks like! [New York]

Mundane crap, thy name is Nooninghamptoncestershireton.
I prefer Obama’s feigned look of interest over Bush Jr.’s real look of a deer caught in headlights.
Now not only is Hopey my pretend boyfriend, so is that large metal cone he was
caressinginspecting. Thanks, New York Magazine! [runs out to buy several copies]Freedumb isn’t free
You sure they didn’t rip this story from Politico?
Next up:
Mike Allen does a piercing investigation of Obama’s loafers, and what they say about his cap and trade policies.
The New York folks just don’t understand us nerds. While all that may be boring to the blogger, its eye candy to us sci/tech heads. I’m betting that Barry was more interested than they think. I wouldn’t be surprised if he saves “How Its Made” on his DVR.
[re=523471]fishskicanoe[/re]: Hunny-Chile, Barry’s too busy collecting Conan and Spiderman comics. You know, stuff that MATTERS.
At least when he goes out in public to make major speeches after major disasters his shirt is buttoned correctly.
That is the BIGGEST DAMN DILDO I have EVER seen!
The Republicans nominated Warren G. Harding because he “looked” like a President and you see where that got us!
Weird, an intellectually curios President. Makes me pine for this this Jackhole.
Bob Gibbs in the background, just cold Twitterin’ on his Twitterbox.
If somebody’d got a shot of Barry looking the slightest bit bored, you know Fox would start a campaign: “Elitist Obama disinterested in power plant switchgear,” or “Obama speechless w/o TelePromTer.”
This is why we need a king in addition to the preznident. While the latter runs things, the former can do all the ribbon-cutting. Reagan was terrific at that.
I thought they agreed not to release the Torture Photos?
[re=523467]Kodos[/re]: You didn’t read the comments. Apparently Letterman did a segment,
President Bush Tries To Look Interested.
he has a dry erase marker in his hand so he’s obviously filling out his March Madness NCAA Tourney bracket. this takes priority over healthcare and unemployment.
[re=523481]freakishlystrong[/re]: [re=523488]Katydid[/re]: In fairness, Bush didn’t have to be interested. Had the same five responses to everything.
He’s trying to decide between the burger with arugula and Dijon or the burger with Dijon and arugula. Rahm’s paying.
Wait, this is what Huckabee was reacting to in that other picture from however many days ago. He just dropped by the check-in line to brag that the Air Force One boarding gate already has the full body scanners and Huckabee is like…
[re=523490]Papas got a brand new teabag[/re]: Actually, it’s a permanent marker, because Obama only fills out one bracket, one time, and sticks with it.
“Don’t tell me about Super Saver miles; I memorized the pamphlet, along with the fine legal print, yesterday afternoon.”
Meh
[re=523483]V572625694[/re]: After the attacks on Obama for politely greeting the Emperor of Japan, it became obvious that they’ll make up some way to claim every single little thing he does is inappropriate. I’m waiting for “Obama went to sleep last night – what if there was a terrist attack? Does he even care about protecting America?”
[re=523471]fishskicanoe[/re]: I tend to think with our Hopemeister that he not only paid attention and can to this day accurately repeat the explanations he was given for each process and mechanism but that secretly, late at night after they’ve gotten Rahm back in his cage and Valerie Jarrett is ensconced on her recharging stand, he works diligently to improve each one.

I can just hear the discussion between Gibbs and Barry regarding whether or not to don those stupid glasses or risk eternal blindness and look badass without them.
please to post ouster of hottie Yulia Tymoshenko from Ukranian parliment? How could they do this? she is princess leia hott. this would not happen in amerika.
I know this face.
It’s the same one I have when I’m thinking
of having a drink and a cigarette.
[re=523467]Kodos[/re]: Agreed. However, the comments made about the pictures bear a striking resemblance to comments we would make about other folks. Turn around if fairplay, I guess.
I’ve seen that face before… he looks like he enjoys biscuits with mustardMMMM
“don’t you hurt that boy.”
Well, he can’t go around looking like a bored twit. That’s for Republicans.
Well, now, that was a waste of time, wasn’t it?
If they really wanted to show a picture of President Obama straining to look interested, they should’ve had one from the healthcare summit where he’s listening to John Boehner say — for the umpteenth time — that tort reform and tax cuts are the best possible solution. Or we could just get another comment from our troll Andrew Jackson and actually relive the experience.
When instructed to feign interest, this president understands what the word feign means.
Actually, I tried, but had a hard time finding what was amusing to Nooners and readers. I think he looked intelligent and thoughtful. Oh – now I get it.

Is he waiting at the DMV?

Define Noonan.
[re=523592]geminisunmars[/re]: Yeah, actually, I thought half of the faces shown here were “in the middle of asking a question” faces.
Also, picture 20… god, I love that man.
Evidently, mundane = technology, even cool technology like the pulsing and faintly efflorescent Acorn incubation pod (pic #4).
Did the previous president even have a “thinking face”?
Actually, he looks both interested and amused: perhaps he is watching that FOX news report, the one that asks “How often do you think about touching other people’s private parts?”
I’ve seen that face before too. It’s the Be Polite To Tedious Bureaucrats face.
I gotta say, you got to have some pretty high-ass standards to classify some of the stuff he’s looking at as “mundane.” (Yes, I am talking about the massive conical dildo.) And how do they know it’s just a jar of dirt on picture 7? The beardo is clearly pulling something out of it. Maybe Dick Cheney’s spare heart?
