Moron and Obama in the Same Sentence?

Wow, the media used Obama and "moronically" in the same sentence.  Isn't that against some media rule or something enacted when President Obama became President?  I was surprised to see it - not surprised at the action of President Obama but at the way it was reported.  Here is the article and here is the photo they are talking about.

I found this commentator's response particularly funny.

so, is the photo real?  Some say yes.  Who knows.
