I knew this was going to happen. But I didn’t think the nuts in the Republican party would come up with this.
Remember that newly released photo showing president Obama with his foot on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office? Well the theories coming from the Republicans are many. But the most outrageous one I’ve heard so far is this: the president is sending a secret foot message to the Muslim world.
This explanation comes from our usual nuts at WorldNetDaily. In a post discussing the photo, Andrea Shea King explained that Muslims consider showing the bottom of one’s shoes as a sign of disrespect, so Obama’s action was a secret sign of support to the Muslim world.
How many of our fellow countrymen thought the same thing when viewing this official White House photo (by Pete Souza) of the president with his shod foot firmly planted upon an historic American treasure – the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office?
Is it possible I might have misinterpreted this photo, which played prominently on the Drudge Report site last Sunday? Is it possible President Obama had a White House photographer release this official image to the world to send a wordless message of support to the Muslim Brotherhood, Arab street and Islamic community in general? To convey his disdain and disregard for all things traditionally American? It is, after all, common knowledge that the Arab world considers the bottom of one’s shoes the ultimate sign of disrespect. And it’s not the first time he’s done it.
Like Right Wing Watch reports, “Republican presidents from George W. Bush to Gerald Ford were also photographed with their feet on the Oval Office desk,” so maybe they too were sending secret foot messages to Muslims.
