In the last year, Barack Obama has learned a thing or two about running for president, and Reggie Love has learned a thing or two about Barack Obama.
Mr. Love now knows that when it comes to food, Senator Obama eats pretty much anything, from chicken wings and barbecue and ribs to grilled fish and steamed broccoli. But when he is campaigning in a small town with limited options, a cheeseburger is always a good bet. (Cheddar is the cheese of choice, Mr. Love added.)
He knows that the boss, as he calls Mr. Obama, likes MET-Rx chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of a hard-to-find organic brew Black Forest Berry Honest Tea. He keeps a supply of both on hand.
And he has learned that all campaigns have their superstitions Senator John McCain has a penchant for heads-up coins and that Mr. Obama is no exception. That means that Mr. Love and Mr. Obama, for luck, play basketball every primary day.
Mr. Love, 26, is Mr. Obamas body man, the personal aide who shadows the senator and anticipates everything he needs and everything he does not need. He is not a bodyguard (security is provided by the Secret Service), but rather the ultimate assistant, rarely more than a body length away from the candidate.
Young, eager campaign aides are stock characters in movies and on television, but few have quite the élan of Mr. Love, who, at 6-foot-5, is about three inches taller than the tall candidate, fitter than the fit candidate (he can bench press more than 350 pounds) and cooler than the cool candidate.
Theres no doubt that Reggie is cooler than I am, Mr. Obama said, laughing, in a phone interview. I am living vicariously through Reggie.

Wow! I can’t believe they wrote such a thing. The guy sounds like some sort of slave, and personal/sexual themes are all over the article!
Oh wow, Huma2
Reggie Love, 26, former Duke University basketball and football star.
I wonder if they do cool dances together like Morris Day and his valet Jerome in “Purple Rain?”
Sort of what Huma is to Her Heinous! ....Oogahhhh!
I can hear the swishing of the writer, Ashley Parker’s, fan as she furiously fans herself in an effort to cool herself off.
I’m just curious as to why Obama needed someone else’s help in order to deal with a Budweiser he didn’t want.
Is it really that surprising that the Obamination is very likely AC/DC? It’s not that uncommon among “progressives” who champion aberrant behavior. Hitlery has Huma Abedin, her Muslime girlfriend. Why shouldn’t the Stealth Moslem have a boyfriend too?
Whoa! I can hardy wait until Georgie Streptococcus... ask nObama about Reggie Love in the next debate!
Lovely Lesbians On Parade.
Putting up 350 is a pretty big number.
I used to leg press 400 when I was 14, I also weighed less than 100lbs at the time.
This is a terrible thing for me to say but I’ve always suspected that *all* “liberal men” have at least one foot in the closet.
Saudi?
