Obama Took a Photo With Olympic Gymnast McKayla Maroney & Neither Were Impressed

They’re not impressed.

President Barack Obama met with members of the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team on Friday and posed with gymnast McKayla Maroney doing her infamous scowl.

Maroney tweeted, “Did I just do the Not Impressed face with the President..?” The White House tweeted back “yes” with a link to the photo.

Maroney and her unimpressed countenance shot to Internet fame after she took silver instead of gold in the vaulting competition.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

I think that it was nice of the president to do this.

It has made one young woman’s day very special, and I’ll give him credit for that.

  GREGB – the people who voted him in are not mourning. Romney is mourning…on a big blamefest that even Repubs are tired of hearing.

This Administration gets it, or at least knows how to play the game. We have devolved into a society that is fascinated by people like the Kardiashians, John & Kate, Honey Boo Boo, Snooki, Lindsay Lohann etc. We have reached a tipping point where it’s more important to know what celebrity slept with who than understand economics or pay attention to politics.

There are those that beleive in and understand socialisim like this administration, and they have figured out how to distract the ignorant from actually having to think about what socialism means and what captialism means. They have become the party of join us and feel good abour yourself.

  No, GREGB…you don’t get to say “most Americans…” because most Americans voted for Obama. I have to laugh at how this insulated group on the blaze thinks it speaks for America. I don’t watch “reality TV” and I’m not programmed or commie or whatever other bull****…I think for myself. So many here just agree with one another and act like they are superior. So many misconceptions abound on this site about the forefathers, the gov’t (past and present administration). Here it is WILLFUL ignorance…and that’s the worst kind. It rots your brain.

  Ah, ah, ah! The first amendment guarantees his right to say whatever he chooses whether you agree with it or not.
  
  Well, Obama did get the “most” votes. Out of 122 million voters, a little fewer than 61 million (or 50.6%) voted for Obama while about 58 million (47.8% did so for Romney). However, to say most “Americans” voted for Obama is categorically wrong. Of the 314.6 million people in the United States, 263.1 million (83.6%) are natural or native born citizens, 40 million (12.7%) are legal immigrants and approximately 11.5 million or more (Census Bureau, 2011) are illegal (3.7%). Since the election was only a 3 million vote difference, it would be easy to calculate fewer than 6% of all immigrants could manipulate the vote. If more than 1.5 million had voted for Romney, you’d be looking at a republican as president. Thank goodness you don’t need an ID to vote, eh democrats!
  
  You seem to be judging others by mocking and ridicule. To judge is to put yourself in a superior role. Maybe we agree with one another because we are so often morally right?
  
  Your willful ignorance is abundant since you neglected to cite any of the alleged misconceptions you believe others have made with regards to our fore fathers and the government. I think you should read a few more credible U.S. history books and biographies of our fore fathers before you comment any further. Your liberal mind will stop decaying in the light of the truth.

My question is……when is Obama going to start acting like a President and do his job. And don’t give me that “he is doing his job, all Presidents take pictures with athletesike this”. The country is going down the drain and the world is on fire, his time should be spent on those issues instead of BS like this.

All,

It’s over – why do you bother anymore? Comment on this, comment on that – we stood up on 2010, only to be derailed by our “own” party – they lied, we cried, they subverted our efforts, by acting like our kind, they gave us stale white bread again, and our Constitution died…..and then they gift wrapped our country to the Commie-democruds…..and we did nothing – there was not a single Tea Party uprising, no grass roots movement, no Glenn Beck at the Mall…..not a singe demonstration in D.C. or anywhere that I saw…..WE SUV (replace with K)…..there are only two things left for us – Prepping AND Praying…..

Hasta La Vista baby…..
