President Barack Obama was stitched up yesterday by the press. They released a photo of him in Italy, where he appeared to be looking at a woman's butt, Bubba style.

When I saw the photo, it appeared as though Obama was looking at the young Brazilian woman's behind, while French President Sarkozy looked on at Obama with a "I saw you looking at her butt" expression on his face. Yes, camera angles can get people into trouble.

However, video released today by ABC News, revealed President Obama was looking behind him, extending a hand for another woman he was platonically helping down the stairs.

And in another twist, President Sarkozy was busted breaking his back seconds later to stare at the young Brazilian woman's butt. I see a French frying pan in your future, sir.

Side bar: for those from other nations that do not get the joke. People sometimes humorously state a wife is going to throw a frying pan at her husband that does something that displeases her.

Side Bar 2: the press found the young woman and it turns out she's 17-years old. Uh oh!
