Shirtless images of Obama cause stir online

How shallow are the American media. With the world in chaos and thousands dying monthly due to US foreign policies, the talk is about a topless man who isn't even president yet.

Now...now...remember the stir when Sarkozy was photographed with out a shirt and the hubbub when Putin was photographed fishing?

It's a lighter moment for the media.

Barack hasn't started falling off his bicycle, yet. So you have the lighter side. < :-)

Abs is American slang describing a ribbed midsection.

And "ab" is my slang for my one ribbed midsection.

buddhabrains - You only got one large rib? < :-)

when will the american mainstream media get up off its knees. what an embarrassment to the profession.

Buddha,

You just tickled my rib(s). Thanks for the chuckle.

Well, its nice we got a prez who looks good. Hopefully, a trend will start

But, another pic of Obama smoking is what got my attention today. So, I hope he starts a trend and kills another.

As Governator Schwarzenegger said, Obama needs to beef up those scrawny arms. Tee hee!

when will the american mainstream media get up off its knees.

Yeah right. The New York Post is a Murdoch outfit, and the Drudge Report is, uh, the Drudge report. If you are going to post right-wing cliches can you at least stick to articles where they might actually fit.

I wonder what response it could have had if it was McCain, W.Bush, Chenney, Rush or Rove on the photo.....At least one thing we can all be certain about, we wont expect the next president to surfer from a heart desease soon after taking office.

Maybe the author should have explained what 'ribbed' is slang for.

How far in the tank can the MSM get with this guy?

a chiseled presidential body.

Good Gawd, I'm going to be sick.

"President Beefcake"

Ho ho ho!

He should do something about those scrawny legs too!

What has Americans talking after the first day of Barack Obama’s Hawaii vacation is the president-elect’s fine form.

It's true, first thing when I walked into my office this morning, the boss pulled me over and said, "Boy, what a set of Abs and tight pecs Obama's got".

Obama “wasn’t hiding. He was completely out in the open,” Griffin said.

Except when it comes to questions about Blago, Ayers etc.

Members of the press corps traveling with Obama have been careful to respect his privacy.

Now there is a real shocker.

GJDailleult,

Yep. Couldn't have said it better. Too bad it was wasted on an audience that's already convinced of "the conspiracy."

Proffessor,

Well...had it been a shirtless rove, environmentalists would have beat away the reporters to get him back in the ocean before he died. If it was McCain, they would have wondered where the barbeque and donuts were, if it were cheney, they just would have tried to not get any evil on them and if it were rush and any of them had IQs in the double digits (hell...in the positives), they'd just ignore him.

I hope that helped.

Really, it's not like he was wearing a cod piece or anything. Sheesh. Presidential my butt.

I'm happy the guy got in and all, but no thanks to the pics.

Thanks Taka. It helped

Yep. Couldn't have said it better. Too bad it was wasted on an audience that's already convinced of "the conspiracy."

They only used the Post and Drudge to give this potential Pulitzer prize winning piece some sort of "credibility cover" so words like 'chiseled' and 'Only with tighter abs' would seem like they actually belong in an A.P story.

I see that tingly feeling in the media's legs isn't confined just to the way he delivers a speech, it can be trigger by his buff bod also.

Time for the annual sailwind J.T Christmas Carol

Enjoy All

Sung to "Walkin in a Winter Wonderland"

In Hawaii it ain’t snowing, And Obama’s Abs they’re a showing, A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight. Walking in Obama’s Media wonderland.

When he talks we do listen, And those Abs they do glisten. He refreshing not grizzled Got a bod that is chiseled Walking in Obama’s Media wonderland.

In the media we ensure he’s never really has hard questions, Then pretend that we were really fair.

He’ll say: Anything else I can mention? We'll say: No man, And we surely don’t want you to say anything, About William Ayers!

Later on, we'll submit our fiction, It’s all praise and no friction To face unafraid, The Obama we've helped made, Walking in Obama’s Media wonderland.

I hope you got a chuckle And all Politics aside....Merry Christmas everyone at J.T

VOR - >what an embarrassment to the profession.

I thought it was pretty much an embarrassment every time george bush went bicycle riding he fell down.

It's just horrible that Obama has a physique at all. Wasn't the last president or president elect to parade around half naked Jack Kennedy. Did the republicans cry then, too? < :-)

"Shirtless images of Obama"!

Yes, indeed. Not since the Chosen One sank a 3-point jump shot for the cameras while playing basketball with US troops in Kuwait have the proles been given by the high priests of the fourth estate clearer proof that Obama is, in fact, ready to lead the most powerful nation on earth!

The Lewinskys on the American left and in the nation's newsrooms have really outdone themselves.

Almost makes the many jokes about an "American Idol" presidency seem to have some basis in fact.

adaydream, you are proof positive the media caters to the lowest common denominator. while details of Obama's chief of staff contact with blago comes out, the media opts to distract the american public's attention away from some real serious possible wrong doing on behalf of Rahm Emmanuel for a fluff piece obviously orchestrated by the Obama camp.

not sure what George Bush or Jack Kennedy have to do with the topic at hand. oh yeah, when faced with the truth, distract.

"had it been a shirtless rove, environmentalists would have beat away the reporters to get him back in the ocean before he died"

Har!

Must have been a fund raiser...I thought I saw people giving him money to put his shirt back on!

The only shock is Obama being fit and looking healthier than most politicians on the face of this earth. Berlusconi and Sarcozy (sp?), eat your heart out.

Boy talk about a sore loser republican. Fluff stuff to cover up Obama's staff doing what? They did nothing, but you're damned and determined to make Rahm Emmanuel's phone calls a crime.

It just breaks your heart that someone from Obama's camp didn't get arrested, also. But they did nothing inappropriate.

There had to be contact between the Obama camp and Blogonovich (sp) but you want to make a sin out of it.

Sounds like you're distracted easily. Maybe you don't remember pictures of Jack Kennedy in his swimming suit.

The next time the media airs anything good, you'll bitch some more. Might as well go for it.

I'll give you your sentence start, Barack Obama is____. There you go. Have at it. < :-)

adaydream,

Yep. Obama derangement syndrome has already set in, and did so more than a month before the man has even taken office. Expect more of the same, with the credibility bar being continuously lowered as the desperation mounts.

You can bank on that.

Taka

so long as we don't see pics of his junk anytime soon I am happy.

I still check out these pictures from time to time:

Badass. :)

SuperLib - You link didn't come up.

I guess I'll go back to the dead porn star. < :-)
