    Obama chucks flower at Ground Zero memorial

    Okay you'd have to launch a flower with appreciable velocity if you intend to get some distance or to reach the middle, but does it indicate a lack of maturity from a world leader? Is Obama ready for the big time?

    If you didn't catch the news, video here (with the flower chucking in the first few seconds):

          Does using the 9/11 deceased as a political football indicate a lack of maturity?

            You cant win on that one.
            Not taking part = disrespect.
            Taking part = exploitation.
            What can you do?

              Apparently you can throw/place the flower in the wrong manner symbolising your lack of readiness to lead the country.

                Some people are just looking for flaws.
                I have not been to that memorial, but I assume there are lots of flowers and pictures of the deceased. Is it just possible that Obama aimed his flower at a particular place for a reason.
                I didnt see anything wrong with what he did, I am guessing lots of people will be aiming their flowers for the middle.
                Is there a right and wrong way to show your feelings at a mass murder site?

                  Fcked if I know. Maybe if he pissed on it or something there would be some kind of point in criticising him ...

                    If you watch the clip he throws the flowers by taking a run up and lobbing them up under his leg. Looked pretty cool to me.
