WEST TISBURY, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama took advantage of idyllic summer weather on Martha's Vineyard Tuesday to go bike-riding with his family, even as street fighting raged in volatile Libya a day after Obama went before TV cameras to herald rebel advances.

Obama looks like a doofus compared to President Bush. That pic of Pres. Bush, looks like someplace like in Utah. I done some riding in Moab UT.

Her Royal Wookieness is indeed holding a brush, and a flunky is holding a roller tray. I am uncertain as to whether any actual painting is going on.

The one of Bush is from the 3 day , 100 kilometer bike ride he did with the disabled veterans in Texas' Big Bend National Park.

Story

I think the one of Obama is his going to the ice cream shop. :-)

Great catch! Probably worn the darn thing once so now it is a rag. Don’t forget the sneakers...they are $540 Lanvin sneakers.

Manuel F. Correllus State Forest

Martha's Vineyard

Today it is managed for passive recreation, mostly hiking and cycling on its 15 miles of bike paths.

First Lady Michelle Obama, center, and her daughter Sasha Obama, left, walk toward waiting vehicles, following a bicycle ride in Manuel F. Correllus State Forest in West Tisbury, Mass., on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011. The first family, including President Barack Obama and daughter Malia Obama, both not shown, participated in the outing.

I know bike helmets are usually a good idea, no matter how dorky they look, but it’s a bike path. Not likely to get hit by a car.

Contrast Obama with Rep. Allen West on his motorcycle.

Look at those arms. He is so tiny! I believe the insider, nobody could make this up:

“The scenario being played out these days is pretty much the same regardless of the particulars. You knock on the door – it’s always closed. Always. Often you have to knock for some time before being given approval from inside to enter. The big screen will be on – the volume loud. You can easily hear it from outside the door. The sports channels are the ones most commonly playing, though sometimes the channel will be set to music, or Fox News. Sometimes Valerie Jarrett might be there, but most often it is just the president and his personal aide. A large leather chair will be facing the television – it’s well worn. Not part of the White House furnishings but something the president must have brought in from back home.

That’s where you’ll most often find the President of the United States – the most powerful man in the free ****ing world. He often sits with one leg draped over one of the chair’s arms and the other leg stuck straight onto the floor. Shorts, sweats, a t-shirt, and like I said, no shoes or just those sandal things that so many of the younger people like to wear these days. And that leg that’s draped over an arm of the chair will be bopping up and down, like…like someone with a lot of nervous energy. Like a kid does. And there’s the smell of smoke hanging on the president. The guy never quite smoking – that was all bullsh*t. I told you that already. In fact, there’s one of those smokeless ash trays on the desk in there. And that desk, it’s a mess. Magazines spread out all over it. Stupid shit too. Real low brow reading material the president is into. People. Rolling Stone. Lots of those tabloid things. The most common thread with this sh*t is it’s about the president. If it’s about him, he’s gonna read it. Good or bad – doesn’t matter. If somebody is talking about him, he’s reading it. He’s watching it. Whatever. The guy’s self-obsession is off the ****ing charts.

So that’s what you first see when you enter the room – the upstairs office of President Obama. Next you’re gonna notice how small the guy looks. Really thin. He pads his suits up you know. The top end. The shoulders. It became an actual issue during the 2008 campaign – some of his handlers were saying it made his neck look too small. Fact is, it made his neck look just like it is – small. The guy is scrawny. All knees and elbows sitting in that chair. Sometimes he gets up when you come in, sometimes he remains seated and will just turn the volume on the TV down with the remote and say, “What you got?”

That foot is bouncing up and down while you give him the briefing, but he rarely looks over at you – always looking at whatever is on the television. If it’s Jarrett in the room, or the personal assistant, one of them is there to keep the time. Your time. Don’t go over that fifteen minutes. And even if the president doesn’t look like he hears a word you’re saying, they are listening to everything. Every go**amn syllable coming out of your mouth, and if something is said they don’t like, they jot down notes. Been told it’s to use for the end of day summary they give the president – their own version of what is important and what can be ignored…and who might need to be pushed down, or pushed out…or whatever. So you’re looking at the president, this skinny guy, who’s ignoring you, who’s dressed like some kind of f***ing frat boy wannabe, with somebody else taking notes on what you’re saying, and then you get up and walk out. The president might acknowledge you on some days, give a little nod, maybe even a thank you, but most often he just continues to look at the TV, bounce that foot on the chair, his skin looking off-color, pale, the eyes out of focus, the hair a helleva lot more gray than is shown in public, the wrinkles around the mouth far deeper…and the hands. His f***ing hands are so…they are just these thin little stick digits. They are like these long-fingered woman’s hands. And his wrists, you could wrap your own fingers all the way around those wrists – again, so much like a woman’s hands. Almost freakish. Certainly not the strong alpha-male type image that America was given during the 2008 campaign.”

Now I know why the Victorians frowned upon grown women riding bicycles.

Is he riding a girls bike?

Always, since 0h0m0 is incapable of riding the wookie.
