Shirtless Obama Photo Staged?
Washingtn Times ^ | 12-23-08 | Jennifer Harper

Remember those staged photos of Bill and Hillary Clinton dancing on the beach once upon a time? You have to wonder. The Obama 'pec' photos were taken on a public beach. Some accounts said the photographer had approval to take those shots. All of a sudden, the bad buzz about links between Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama was gone for a while, replaced by good buzz about presidential pecs," noted Tim Graham of the Media Research Center.

"There's some bathing-suit bias, too. When beauty queen photos of [Alaska Republican Gov.] Sarah Palin surfaced during the presidential campaign, the press coverage was negative. And you can be sure if positive images of President Bush in a bathing suit had appeared sometime in 2000, the press would have cast suspicions on them as a staged photo-op," Mr. Graham said.

Mr. Obama's public pin-up shot is not his first. A photo of him emerging from the surf - a little chunkier but still agreeable - made global headlines shortly before he announced his White House run in 2007. Such accidentally-on-purpose moments could be the hallmark of a very deft public official.

Barack H. Obama. IMO Obama's middle name is Helmsley as in Leona. To wit, the "Queen of Mean" said: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."

Barack Helmsley Obama says: "We don't show documents. Only the little people have to show documents."

If you look at the picture, it’s exactly the same pose as those old bigfoot photographs.

It’s maddening. I hear you.

Nobody else does. Sort of like the age old question of:

“If a tree falls in the forest and there is an environmental activist hugging it, is the liberal really dead?”

I’m going to sleep.

Good night.

You would do the same because his daddy abandoned him and his mother dumped him on her parents so she could pursue an anthropology thesis on rural Indonesian blacksmithing. So you substitute self love

Actually his mother loved him and showed it but was absent in Indonesia and 0 felt it
And had valid reasons for sending him back to Hawaii to get a good American education

Nightmare. Seven years after the 911 abomination America has become the Obamanation. This article (Rav Winston on Parshat MiKeitz) sums it up:

Is is it just me or does that photo look bogus??

The chest looks like a woman...and needs a bra.
and the abs look weird too...certainly doesn't look like a man's abs...
maybe Hussein is a transsexual. LOL
