President Obama, a man “not interested in photo ops,” finds himself in a lot of photo ops. The latest is with Dallas nurse Nina Pham, who was released Friday from a Washington-area hospital after being pronounced free of the Ebola virus.
For all the stress associated with her ordeal, Pham scored a visit to the Oval Office to meet the president. Here’s a tweet from one media source capturing an embrace between the two:

But was the moment a spontaneous display of affection, or was there a little more to it?

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller noted in a tweet that Obama, the man who has no interest in photo ops, instigated the hug. In an earlier tweet, Knoller also made it clear that the meeting was indeed a photo op.
Still photographers said they heard Pres Obama tell Nurse Nina Pham words to the effect of: let’s give a hug for the cameras.

No matter how you see it, the president’s act is wearing thin with the American people. Here are a number of tweets that show just how thin:
Is anyone buying this bullshit anymore? Seriously. Anyone? One of the most painfully obvious amateur politicians in our history.

Obama administration was throwing Nina Pham under the bus a few weeks ago. Now they’re exploiting her for a photo op? #Ebola
