Obama and Mrs. Biden in lip-lock - twice!

[control-z]

I was reading an article and came across this pic, which shows Joe Biden embracing and kissing Michelle Obama, apparently on the cheek, but also Barack apparently about to kiss Mrs. Biden on the lips!:

Then I go to YouTube and find this:

Again with the apparent lip-kissing between these two. That's kinda weird! Are we gonna see Wife Swap: White House Edition" on ABC?

[Shayna]

What's the debate?

[control-z]

Is there anything going on? Or do they just have a weird way of greeting each other?

[begbert2]

No, see, it only counts as being in bed with the other team if you, well...

[puddleglum]

I doubt there is anything going on, but how hard was it to type that post with one hand?

Oh, thank you. Thank you. I like to start my work day with a laff. Well done.

I guess this is a mundane pointless thing you'd like to share huh

[control-z]

Ok, ok, I considered MPSIMS, but since it had to do with politics I put it here. So let's debate that huh?


Seriously though, you didn't see Reagan lip-kissing Barbara Bush, or Clinton and Tipper Gore, or GWB and Mrs. Cheney. Isn't there some sort of etiquette that you don't lip-kiss other guy's wives?

Personal insults are not allowed in any forum other than the BBQ Pit. This is an official warning not to do this again.

Meanwhile, I'm moving this thread to MPSIMS.

Scared me for a minute, I thought this was the new Dr. Laura forum.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

So joking that someone is masturbating to a (to some people I guess) titillating picture/situation is a personal insult now? This is the first time I've ever questioned a mod but damn if that does not seem right to me.

[control-z]

Everybody masturbates. No offense taken. Although I didn't find that picture particularly titillating.

I bet McCain is wishing his VP was this close.

Well, for a parallel, McCain would have to kiss Palin's husband, and Palin would have to kiss Cindy McCain. Rrrrowr!

If they could guarantee this, they might get my vote.

JOKING!

But, no, I wouldn't mind seeing this.

Mr. Palin is a good looking man, and McCain WAS in prison...

It's kind of an American thing to kiss everybody on the lips, isn't it? I know I was a little freaked out when some of the mothers of my friends would kiss their kids on the lips (a smack, no tongue!) and then kiss me on the lips, too. I understand what it meant - "You are like my own child to me" but we certainly don't kiss anyone on the lips except our SO where I come from!

Anyway, "Mod Sweater"? Is it made from alpacas?

Yeah, I agree with MikeG...this didn't come across as an insult at all, merely a joke. A funny one, at that.

Quoting from the Great Debates rules:

I felt that accusing somebody of jerking off to videos of Obama and Jill Biden kissing was close enough. You could call it breaking a GD rule instead of an insult, but I think it's a distinction without a difference.

[Sampiro]

So did Mrs. Biden go back?

To her husband, I mean...

It's another ploy by the Rovian Republicans to invoke black fear. In the first linked photo, Obama is going for the kiss on the cheek, but not there yet. The angle of the photographer makes it look like he's going for lip lock. In the second, there is a miss, but he gets her on the jaw, just below the lips. The real reason it came out like this is that most Americans just aren't very good at the air/cheek kiss. The reasons that some Republican spinmeisters want to play this up is to touch on subliminal racist fears.

Of course we're all to bright here to fall for that kind of crap, right?

Agreed.

Come on, we all know the answer to this. Pastor Manning told us: Obama is a long-legged mack daddy. He's a pimp.

Not this American. I hug the in-laws, and may kiss my BILs on the cheek, but no lips.

[rocking chair]

i agree on the lip thing. most of the time lip smack is for so types. i didn't see parent/child lip kiss until i was in high school and a friend's mom kissed him goodbye. i thought it was odd.

i'm also not fond of all the kissing going on when people are interviewed on shows. if there must be touching just shake.

[tds1273]

Just within the past week I saw a .gif of Obama and the Clintons. It appears to have been at the end of some event when everyone is standing and clapping; Bill goes to give Hillary a kiss and at the last second she turns and give Obama a hug(or kiss, I can't quite remember). It cracked me up, but for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it. I don't think I saved it either, unless it's on my home comp, but I doubt it.

Anyone else seen this thing? I won't say I'm not crazy, but I do know I saw this.

[Ethilrist]

Huh. And here I was, thinking I hadn't seen Michelle Obama in the news since Palin showed up.
