ORIGINAL: Greta75 She is on her knees though. I bet Obama was not kneeling. Technically, she is kneeling down to like a whole roomful of black men. Obama bowed way down to emperors etc To the point though, it is common for American women to "sit" that way, it is normal. Obama's feet on the desk was mentioned - it is worth noting a couple of things about that. It was the president himself disrespecting the office, the desk is more than just furniture. The couch is nothing, the desk... From Wikipedia: quote:
The Resolute desk is a large, nineteenth-century partners' desk mostly chosen by presidents of the United States for use in the White House Oval Office as the Oval Office desk. It was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was built from the English oak timbers of the British Arctic exploration ship Resolute. Franklin Roosevelt requested the addition of a door with the presidential seal to conceal his leg braces.[1] Many presidents since Hayes have used the desk at various locations in the White House, but it was Jackie Kennedy who brought the desk into the Oval Office in 1961 for President John F. Kennedy for the first time. It was removed from the White House only once, after the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, when President Johnson allowed the desk to go on a traveling exhibition with the Kennedy Presidential Library. After this it was on display in the Smithsonian Institution. President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office, where Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump have used it...
