It seems the biggest question after the G8 summit is whether President Obama and his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy ogled a girl not much older than President Obama’s daughter. See video below to decide for yourself. Apparently her parents saw it, or at least they saw the photo, and they are not amused.
“If I were there, I would have boxed their ears,” said Lucia Rodrigues, 37. “They should be ashamed of themselves.”
Patriarch Eduardo Tavares, after finally getting around to seeing the famous photo of his daughter from behind, quickly changed his tune from proud papa to furious father.
“My daughter is not a model and she is not a sex symbol,” he told The Post. “That photograph has ruined my whole family.” [...]
“She is dedicated to helping the poor, not to seducing world leaders,” he ranted. “This is the wrong image of my daughter.”
Her mom added, “She is really skinny and only ever wears pants. Mayara is timid and ashamed of her body. This was the first time in her life that she wore a dress, and it was borrowed from a friend in the shantytown because she doesn’t own one.”
The high school sophomore, who hails from one of Rio de Janeiro’s slums known as favelas, had been picked by UNICEF to join the counterpart Junior 8 forum of teenagers because she stood out as a community volunteer. She shares a single room with her parents and two younger brothers and can’t afford the bus fare to attend a good high school.
“Why are they looking at her like that? This is a girl who is articulate and intelligent and just wants to do the right thing,” the father said. “Instead, they are forcing her into a negative light.”
I can’t say I blame them for being upset. The leaders of the free world should know better than to act like bar room cads, especially at public appearances.
I just wonder, did this happen before or after President Obama forgot where he met his wife.
Well, gosh, I’m not sure the girl will really like what her parents have said either. How embarassing for her at her age.
About the Obamas meeting: Heavens, he just throws out there whatever he thinks will make a particular crowd happy. That seems to me to something that he would not forget.

OMG!!!! America relax! You look for anything in attempt to scruntinize the President. Men check women out everyday. So what! He didn’t touch her, or say anything disrespectful, so what’s the problem because he looked. It’s amazing how the article reads that the Preident’s brief glance at her disgraced and dishonored the family but ends with saying how poor and deprived the family is. You know there’s other ways to make money, try getting a 9-5 and laying off the President. Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigues if you don’t want people to notice your daughter in that manner how about dressing her like the Muslim women. Just some food for thought.
