Evidently the President was up to some hijinxs recently when he toured a Harley Davidson plant in York, Pa. He was there to talk about the economy and free trade…but we all know he just wanted to saddle up on a Harley and wear silly sunglasses.

…so what if its stationary? He pretends its moving, and that’s all that matters.

According to ThinkProgress::

Bush jumped on top of a motorcycle. After he was finished, “he ripped off blue-tinted safety glasses that he insisted made him look like rock star Bono and jokingly struck a pose intended to show a hip side.”

Digg!

Oh, that preznit of our ours is so very clever. Yeah, I get it ... a 'tough' guy who talks 'tough' on terrorism.

Wow, I never knew I could be so underwhelmed. Hell, they probably had to digitally erase the training wheels.

The question becomes: how many photo ops does this guy have in him while the world burns?

... when a president is so uninterested in speaking to the public, the media, congress, or just generally uninterested in doing any aspect of his job outside of starting needless wars and making the nation less safe while creating opportunities for his buddies to make lots and lots of cash while bankrupting the american people and cutting funding to most things that actually benefit us....

.... you have to have SOMETHING to keep him interested in being out there in public. Tell him he'll get to ride a motorcycle. Maybe next we will get to see him playing with a monkey.

Not a thumbs up, but two fingers (the peace sign?) raised in a sig heil salute? WTF. Don't even bother trying to be cool, killer.
