Saying Obama Glanced at a Female's Rear is Racist?!?

For a few days pictures have been circulating that appear to show Obama 'checking out' the rear of a few females at G-8 Summit in Italy. After the pictures came the 'exonerating video' which, in my opinion, did not really exonerate him. I can not tell you if Obama glanced or not, but someone reasoning that he did is not racist. Shuster (MSNBC) and Frisch (Media Matters) disagree.

"Shuster then introduced Carl Frisch, “a senior fellow at Media Matters for America” (as you can see, the MSNBC anchor omitted the left-wing affiliation of the organization), and asked, “Carl, this has been bouncing around all over the conservative blogosphere, conservative networks. What are they doing here?”
...
FRISCH: You know, one of the things that was said on Free Republic was comparing President Obama to Michael Jackson, calling him a pedophile. That’s the length to which this kind of stuff will be twisted....We’re seeing a misconstruction of a photo. To many people online, this has racial overtones. You know, this is like the antiquated racist stereotype of an oversexed black man being a predator, and that’s the way some conservative circles are talking about it online, and that’s unfortunate. And the problem here is that it’s not even true. This didn’t even happen.
...
The only response either Shuster or Hall said in response to the fellow’s inflammatory accusation against conservatives was Hall replying, “Yeah.” Shuster thanked Frisch, and concluded the segment with his own lament/condemnation of the conservative websites

In case you have no idea what pictures I am talking about:

"Just FYI- looks like Barack's having plenty of fun without you while checking-out the local talent at the G-8 Summit at L'Aquila, Italy-




First class, this guy- doesn't he have more sense than to be such a letch, checking-out a 16-year-old Brazilian girl... and before a bank of cameras at a G-8 Summit? Isn't this the same Obama that was afraid to kiss French First Lady Carla Bruni when his wife was monitoring the situation? Good thing Michelle's not the type to get jealous, hold a grudge, or anything like that...


Looks like world's-most-perfect-husband Barack's in for a icy reception back at the White House"
