NBC News reports that Obama and Maroney’s “not impressed” photo is spreading fast.
An Australian news site introduces the photo with this background information:
Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney became an internet celebrity during the London Olympics when her famous scowl went viral and eventually turned into an internet meme.
The 16-year-old Olympian had landed on her bottom in a performance that delivered her a silver medal. But she looked quite unimpressed during the medal ceremony.
So, what is Obama not impressed about?
Obama's 332 electoral votes vs Romney's 206 is what I call a thumping!
But he probably wanted to win North Carolina and Indiana too. He surely also wanted 218 Democratic members in congress and Nancy Pelosi back as the majority speaker of the house. I understand. Just like McKayla Maroney wasn’t happy with her Silver, Obama isn’t happy with his Silver. But come on Barack, look at Romney, he came in practically last and fell on his butt so many times, it was pitiful to watch.
And just look at all the newly elected Democratic congress members! Among the 21 minority members, 19 are Democrats. Of the 24 new female members, 20 are Democrats and only 4 are Republicans!
But a bit of dissatisfaction is not bad. After all we have elections again in 2 years, and we can still work and fight to have Nancy Pelosi as the new majority Speaker of the house. And Obama will win his Gold after this second term. He will be remembered as one of the best presidents in history. Mark my words.
