  28. From the article:

    And it seems the now-iconic scowl has resonated with President Obama too. “I want to talk to you one second about the face,” he told Maroney during the team’s visit. “I pretty much do that face at least once a day.”

    Funny thing: We do that face when we think of you, Mr. President.

  31. It wasn’t really about the judges or finsh, there are photos of her making that face when she was straightening from blowing the dismount. She knew she’d lost before they confirmed it. Self-disapproval, which I somehow doubt 0 ever feels. Probably why he needs practice.

    And I think it’s wonderful how she’s turned it into something positive.

    You don’t pick your parents so you can’t blame her.

    [for how she was named].

    She played hard but didn’t get what she wanted,

    So now she’s famous for the way she pouted.

  40. Yeah, don’t worry, McKayla. Michelle’s brussel sprouts just cause that sometimes. Here at the White House we have fun and call it syncronized farting. Man you should hear Valerie sometimes. She really let’s em rip.

    That’s a good one.

    As revealing as that photo is, it doesn’t make me want to snicker and sneer at Obama nearly as much as the ones that showed him bowing like a servant in front of foreign dignitaries.

    Anything is possible, but I’ll be surprised if historians in the future (who are impartial observers) don’t assess this country as hitting its peak before and then entering a moment of sea-change decline during the era of President “Goddamn America.”

  72. It’s refreshing that a prima donna can poke fun at herself; what a teachable moment for Obama.

    I think the photo is cute, I would no matter who the president was.

    What’s really troubling me, however is what’s going on with the leg of the attractive woman in navy blue? Did her left leg get bent backwards? Is that a grimace manifesting itself into a beautiful smile? What is going on there?!

    Yeah, i looked at that for a while too. I also think it is the back of a chair in the foreground, viewed from the side.

    For the bad press she got about it, I thought a 16 yo making a face knowing that she didn’t do her best was pretty normal. She wasn’t making a face for getting a silver or against the judges, she just knew that she could have done better and was upset that she didn’t.

    Know, as far as the other person in the picture thinking they could have done better…

    And, MD, I need advice about telling my pubescent to “kiss the boy”. …
    Cooties. Tell her you heard it from a doctor.
    Having a good relationship with dad is supposed to be very helpful in helping a girl get validation without having to get it from some (no good dirty minded jerk of a) teen age boy.
    Actually, that is one thing I have liked about Harry Potter and Hunger Games, they have shown that relationships between teens don’t have to be focused around sexual undertones/overtones.

    Not, not all boys are that bad, just more than we would like to think. Any high school locker room will prove it.

    Comment by Icy — 11/18/2012 @ 7:56 pm

    If you can play guitar, you can sing. I can’t hardly make a chord myself (brain damage), but I don’t let it discourage me. Can I use my bouzouki? I am partial to D minor or F major (shucks if I can tell the difference). We can just make noise to bother the neighbors. The one on the west is a tympanist, he’ll likely join in.

    The daughter (my the daughter) went from piano to guitar, and got an A for trumpet in band. She doesn’t know why, she doesn’t think she’s good.

    MD, love is not according to prescription. I told her “kiss the boy”. She said “no”. Then I told her to just sit next to him at lunch. She said she already does that.

  105. You can’t tell how far they’ll take it, but “courtship games” will always go on between boys and girls. Our parents, mine and my “girlfriend’s” when we were five, joked between them about wedding plans and dowries. But it was a small place, where everybody knew everybody generations back.

    She’s bigger than the boy. At early puberty I believe all girls are, but she’s always been a big girl. She can can break him in two, or she can use her real 15lb bow or real sword. Basically, I’m just glad that I did not turn her into a boy.

  109. McKayla: “I got up at 6AM every morning and worked nonstop five hours a day for 10 years straight in order to win my medal. What did you do to earn yours?”

  110. People are always encouraging me to go on tour, Icy. They say, “nk, you need to take your music out of town”.

  115. I think #100 and #109 are the best so far.

    nk, so telling her to kiss the boy gets her to say no? Was that an intentional ploy? I’ll have to consider that. I think sitting next to each other is great, relational interchange, will lead to emotional maturity.

    Yes, girl’s routinely physically mature faster than boys (many probably say mentally as well).

    Remember to clean your firearms when she brings the guy by the house.

    Leo Kottke said he was abused by a trombone for years before he picked up a guitar.

  116. Yes, I think that, too, that the daughter is both physically and mentally more developed than boys her age.

    Relating back to McKayla, I agree with you there as well. She was displeased with her performance knowing that her window was closing.

    — The girl on the left is “coppin’ a ‘tude.” The guy on the right has a stick up his ass.
    — Reactions to the First Lady’s plan to serve Tofurkey with arugula stuffing on Thanksgiving have been decidedly mixed.
    — Awkward moment after Sloe Joe says, “Hey, if you and that white chick you dated in college had a kid, she would look like McKayla!”
    — “Paul Ryan is so dreamy . . . Yeah, I said it!”
    — “Hey Barack, what’s with your press secretary saying he knows two other girls named McKayla Moroney?”
    — From left to right: Totally cute, Empty Suit
    — The invitation to “sit on Uncle Joe’s lap and tell me what you want for Christmas,” did NOT go over well.

  125. – “Hey Barack, what’s with your press secretary saying he knows two other girls named McKayla Maroney?”

  128. nk — your comments might be better addressed to the guy? But … no, I really think you should just butt out. My dad tried for years to get me to date a particular classmate, someone who I was convinced wanted nothing to do with me. Turns out his pushing was what had formed that misunderstanding, because she then really wanted me. Missed a high-school marriage by that >< much. (There's more to that on both sides, but parents seem do do more damage than help when they point at particular potentials, you've got to practice for yourself.) Guys emotionally mature slower than girls, that's part of why freshman girls want junior and senior guys, there's a better emotional match. Ah, if we knew when we were young, what we know later, how our lives might be different.

  135. “McKayla, I’m glad I got to meet you and the rest of the Team USA gymnastics team, today. It was well worth cancelling a meeting with my National Security Advisor, as well as a meeting with Greece’s Finance Minister. Now, if you’ll pardon me, I’m supposed to meet Reggie Love for 18 rounds of golf over at Andrews Air Force base.”

  136. “So, McKayla, I understand one of your gymanstics coaches is originally from Austria. Did it give you an opportunity to practice speaking Austrian ?”

    Elephant Stone (65d289) — 11/20/2012 @ 9:40 am

  137. “McKayla, you have a tough job—in your gymnastics competition, you have to impress all eight judges, some of whom speak Austrian. I, on the other hand, only had to impress 50.6 % of the American people, some of whom only speak Spanglish. I don’t think too many corpsmen voted for me, but a lot of corpses did in Chicago !”
