My buddy Nichelle of Anovelista sent me this photo and it cracked. me. UP!! Ha haaaaa! If that isn’t what we Trinis call a “cut eye,” I don’t know what is.
The caption reads as follows: “US President George W. Bush (C) leans over to talk with a girl (R) after Bush participated in a lesson for young children on the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day during a tour of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC, 21 January 2008. By Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty.”
It’s been posted over at Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish.
Little girl, I don’t know who you are… but thanks for making my Tuesday morning brighter. I needed a good belly laugh to kick off what’s bound to be a busy day.

That’s definitely a “you are in my personal space, and I don’t know you like that, president or no president” look — wow. Definitely made me smile.

That is a sweet cut eye! LMAO. I don’t blame her.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:06 am
That is priceless! How she looks in the picture is exactly how I feel toward him.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:42 am
“Back up off of me , mister.” I know this look well. Thanks for laugh this morning.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:58 am
If that is not funny, what is.
Maybe she was thinking, “dude your breath is foul. you should chew and swallow a few breath mints”. LOL
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
please, I can’t stop laughing…
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:21 pm
HAAHAHA OMG I saw this on the news last night and could not stop laughing…I salute you lil one!!
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Who you be all up on me? This is as real as real can be, than the fakey fake cheesy pics we are used to seeing of folks posing with political figures.
January 22nd, 2008 at 3:19 pm
ha! i am sending this to my friends right now!
January 22nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I guess that children do know more than we sometimes give them credit for.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I hope this child’s mother makes this an 8×10 and puts it on the wall. Priceless!
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Lord! I am HOWLING over here! I know that’s right, little girl. If I ever met him, I’d be giving him serious “Madam”, too (that’s what we call the ’side eye’ in my family).
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:32 pm
This is why the pic is so funny…
I didn’t even read the caption or anything else to know, that the only grey-haired white man she could have possibly looked at that way, was our president.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Love the “cut eye!” Or as my family would say, “She passed me a pair of eyes!”
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I second that young ladies’ ‘cut eye’! She has also made my day! Afrobella u have brought me laughter on a rainy day, thanks!
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Just one of George Bush’s scheduled appearances to interact with black people! lol@ the eyes!
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:30 pm
[...] January 22, 2008 by quarterlifequeer I was over on Afrobella and I saw this and could not stop laughing. Thats Bush’s ass about to get the elbow from that little girl. She looks like ” If you don’t take your old white hand off me.. I swear!” There are just so many captions that could be applied to it… all of which end in that girl rolling her eyes and walking away. [...]
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:21 pm
That photo is priceless!
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:15 am
Ha! Gotta love someone giving Bush the classic “Bitch, please” look. And I’m stealing “cut eye.”
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:57 am
I see I’m not the only Southern chick in the house. I received more than one pinch from my Grandma for “cutting my eyes” at her like the kid in the picture.
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:58 am
I guess a lot of us use that term.
January 23rd, 2008 at 11:09 am
She looks like she’s saying, “N-word, please.”
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:51 pm
That’s a classic “Whatchu talkin’ ’bout Willis” look to me!!! Too funny.
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Yes, I don’t know who gets the award for side-eye of the year, her or that cute little baby that was a viral sensation a month or so back. HILARIOUS. I TOTALLY feel her.
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:00 pm
This is sooooo my new desktop background!
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
hahahahahahaha!!!
I bet as he walked away she sucked her teeth at him too!
TOO FUNNY!!!
Cheers for the laugh Afrobella..
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Love it! Her whole body language is so not feeling him. It’s like she wants to say, “I heard what Kanye said about you after Katrina!”
January 24th, 2008 at 10:28 am

She can see right through the bullsh*t!! Classic!
There’s another one with Hillary that’s been floating around… same kind of situation. I’ve been looking for it to post on my blog. A link on another blog I read sent me to yours, and I thought I’d find it here. And instead saw this one.
Cheers!

She looks like she wants to say,” back up offa me biatch!” She also looks like she’s ready to clock him one.
