    Mm, America’s Sexiest President since 2008. Sorry Jefferson.

  2. True now, but I wouldn’t mind seeing that shot of the 1965 version of McCain. (linked under my name…)

  3. *sigh* Ya know, sometimes I am painfully unsurprised at how tacky the news business can be.

    • rhorho says:

      Let me guess: It’s tacky because it’s not a photo of a topless woman?

      • I actually would say the same if a woman had won and they were blasting us with picks of her in a bikini. I’ve seen these before on CNN and somehow I don’t think Obama’s HI adventure was worth coverage. Then again, perhaps I am projecting and empathizing that being camera stalked on vacation would annoy me and seems tacky when done to anybody else.

        So don’t pay me any heed and the assumption was nice too. So nice try on the guess but I do have more depth than a tablespoon.

        • *pics…

          Damn typing fails.

        • Seth says:

          What? Come on. We totally needed to know what kind of sandwich Obama had!

        • slan agat says:

          Given this clarification, I totally understand and generally agree. Tacky might not have been the best word to convey what you meant, but I’m not sure what would be most clear. Intrusive, voyeuristic, shallow?

          • Tacky… It worked for me. Cheap, pointless, just for a buzz of entertainment. Tabloids are tacky to me and this has tabloid wannabe written all over it. I went with the word that worked in my humblest of views.

            • yeah OK says:

              And YET, if someone had fired off a shot of Hillary Clinton in a bikini, you’d all be sitting here talking about her chicken wings. Gimme a break.

              • Even with us having a laugh over it, we still wouldn’t call it newsworthy. So do you have a point or what?

                I was making my remarks because I saw this as a news story on CNN. That is my issue. Pictures, smictures. Still isn’t news.

              • FaileV says:

                actually no, my opinion for heads of state in swim wear spans all genders, it’s not news. I don’t think we live in a perfect world where paparazzi will ceast to exist, but i prefer it’s kept to the professions where image matters over mind. We don’t need half naked pictures of govenors, kings, presidents, senators, or anything like that.
                So if someone fired off a picture of Hillary Clinton in a bikini, I’d still be questioning the turn that media is taking toward our government. nice try though

        • keshet says:

          I agree. The tabloid obsession of celebrity annoys the f* out of me.

          He went on vacation in Hi. Great. I hope he had a good time. Still none of my business.

          • keshet says:

            *with*
            preposition fail!

            • froofrou says:

              I am setting myself up here, but don’t you think that knowing he’s a media figure and knowing that people are trying to get pictures of him, if he had actually wanted to have a private vacation in Hawaii he could have arraigned for it? From what I heard, the SS were using seaweed to form a perimeter around where they were vacationing……..aren’t there mountains and volcanoes and secluded places on the island that are breathtaking and stunning and just as good for vacationing as a public beach, and that can only be reached by helicopter? Forgive me for thinking that he was asking for it. Or begging for it.

              • rhorho says:

                It’s probably planned. Obama needs to show that he’s a normal guy from time to time, just as Bush was often photographed in Crawford and at the Bush compound in Kennebunkport. It seemed alright then, right? Why isn’t it alright now?

                • froofrou says:

                  I’m not saying it’s not right. But people shouldn’t cry about him getting caught on camera as it was more than likely planned. The Clintons were caught on camera ‘dancing on the beach’ like a week before the Lewinski thing broke, so it’s par for the course. Photo ops are just that: ops. No more, no less. If a media figure gets photographed by a pap, they shouldn’t cry about it, nor should their ‘fans’. There are ways around it if you’re serious about not getting pictures taken.

                  • rhorho says:

                    Did I miss something? Are people upset because someone snapped a photo of him? Politics aside, Richard Nixon was widely criticized for having “candid” photos made of himself on a beach, wearing a suit and dress shoes. The photos make him look awkward and out of place. Here, Obama looks natural and normal, so fine. /politics aside

                    There are still people out there who think he’s a Muslim terrorist, so it behooves him to work on presenting a “normal guy” image. I don’t know why anyone’s upset. Do you?

                    • froofrou says:

                      I dont’ know why anyone is upset, but here are some quotes from further up:

                      “I’ve seen these before on CNN and somehow I don’t think Obama’s HI adventure was worth coverage. Then again, perhaps I am projecting and empathizing that being camera stalked on vacation would annoy me and seems tacky when done to anybody else.”

                      “Intrusive, voyeuristic, shallow?”

                      “He went on vacation in Hi. Great. I hope he had a good time. Still none of my business.”

                      “The tabloid obsession of celebrity annoys the f* out of me.”

                      Seems people were irritated that the pictures were taken at all, even though it is obvious that they were MEANT to be taken. Any good public figure knows how to work the cameras, and Obama is no different. It just means he’s good at portraying the right image, a must when you’re the next leader of the free world.

                      • rhorho says:

                        I’m often mistaken, but imo those comments seem to be more “why is this NEWS?” and less “leave Britney alooone!” I think the line about being “camera stalked is true with most celebrities, but, as you indicated, not likely with Obama. From what I’ve seen (as an outsider) of Secret Service operations, those guys don’t flock around!

                        OT: The USSS operations I saw were in Waco, when H.W. dedicated the Floyd Casey Stadium in 1988.

              • Tessie says:

                “From what I heard, the SS were using seaweed to form a perimeter ”
                `
                For God’s sake, get back! They’ve got SEAWEED!!!
                *screams*

        • Marshy says:

          I haven’t seen Obama beach pictures in real news… However, I saw him twice in “Best Beach Bodies” section of magazines lately… He’s not THAT great. Is Hollywood running out of hot guys?

      • OhMyGoodness says:

        I’d love to see the comments that would be flying here if there was a shot of Obama and Rahm doin’ the old “Top Gun” beach volleyball routine…
        I seem to remember a doctored photo of Ms Palin with shotgun and bikini making its way down here – there were complaints, but only that it wasn’t an accurate description. Tacky? Some people like tacky…

        • Point taken but I don’t recall CNN picking up the picture of Palin like that and calling it worth reporting on… Eh, perhaps I am just picky.

        • lawlmaker says:

          Though, I’d say, the shot of Palin with the bikini and shotgun seemed pretty rigged. Or rather, it felt more like a pre meditated shot than this, which more resembles a paparazzo shot.

          • froofrou says:

            That pic you’re referencing was not only rigged, it was a complete photo shop. If you go to snopes.com they debunk it rather quickly.

            • rhorho says:

              The link under my name shows the before-and-after of the photo.

              It’s from froo’s favorite website. I don’t know how she missed it…

              • froofrou says:

                Har-de-har. Here’s one for you on your favorite website, dealing with the staged pictures in Hawaii…….. :-)

                • rhorho says:

                  Rush Limbaugh: “Drudge got hold of this picture and also got hold of a similar one of Vladimir Putin. He’s running an online poll asking people to vote on who looks more buff, and so far Putin’s winning 18,000 to 12,000 for Obama, and I’m kind of surprised, I thought Obama would run away with this, given the popularity of The Messiah. So now, ladies and gentlemen, it’s not just what he says but how he says it, but now how he looks when he says it. And the Drive-Bys are having Obasms over this.”

                  Obasms? Obamagasms? Is Rush jealous???

                  • froofrou says:

                    hehe, probably. But that’s beside the point. I love that Drudge is running a contest exactly stating what we’ve been taling about here, is Putin sexier than Obama? hehehe.

                    • froofrou says:

                      Gack, TALKING. Not ‘taling’. I’m not even sure what ‘taling’ is.

                    • rhorho says:

                      Putin’s has that malevolent, skin-crawly kind of sexy. Obama has that really-nice-guy-you-would-like-as-a-neighbor sexy.

                      It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Drudge fans would vote the way they did. Are you shocked?

                      • froofrou says:

                        No, LOL. I’m not shocked at all, especially in light of the conversations we have in here all the time. Obama just doesn’t appeal to me physically, though. You’ve seen my type, hehe. Obama’s a little too boyish through the frame to suit my tastes.

                        • rhorho says:

                          It’s funny. PK wasn’t around back then, but I somehow
                          suspect that W wouldn’t have gotten the same treatment,
                          had a shirtless beach photo arisen.

                          That said, Putin’s got the scary-sexy thing going on, but
                          I’m taller than he is. Is that shallow enough?

                        • froofrou says:

                          Bush isn’t exactly even CLOSE to sexy. And I’m a dyed in the wool Purple Lizard Republican.
                          -
                          And yes. It’s shallow. Now go sit down. And take those heels off!

                        • rhorho says:

                          The dude’s 5′ 5″ / 1.65 m, so you’re asking me to take my heels off *literally?* …my actual body-part heels?

                          Wow, you Baptists are serious folk!

                          ;-)

                        • Uncle Fester says:

                          It’s the constant disappointment of the Apocalypse not arriving that does it… despite electing Neo-cons.

                        • froofrou says:

                          Damn thing was supposed to be here last week. *bangs watch on table* Damn apocalypse watch. I was swindled. *mutters under breath*

                        • Uncle Fester says:

                          I hereby award you a partial internet… that raised a small smile at Fester Towers…

                        • PiMan says:

                          My apocalypse watch has been stuck at five minutes to midnight for almost two years now.

                        • rhorho says:

                          My Mayan apocalypse watch keeps excellent
                          time…

                        • DeathWyrmNexus says:

                          But only for a few more years…

                        • Uncle Fester says:

                          @Pi – the Apocalypse watch has been stuck between 10 to and 5 to midnight since before Professor Bronowski died…

                        • PiMan says:

                          And I don’t much expect that to change in the near future.

                        • slan agat says:

                          Fester, unless there’s someone keeping a separate one I wasn’t aware of, the Doomsday Clock was moved as recently as 17.01.2007 (link). Moved from 2353 to 2355 in light of the North Korean situation plus new climate change data.

                        • froofrou says:

                          But what about Captain Kirk? How is he going to enter all of his Captain’s Logs if the Apocalypse has already happened?????

                        • We survive the Apocalypse, of course. Like a movie, it was mostly hype.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          “How’d you die?”
                          “How’d I die? IN THE MOTHER F*CKING APOCALYPE!!!”

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Damn it, apocalypse^ What I wrote sounds like a person with really big lips.

                        • I died in traffic during the Apocalypse. I was three days from retirement and going to have a threesome on the weekend. Was going to marry both of the girls in a handfasting.

                          Stupid Apocalypse, couldn’t even kill me with a fireball. Nooooo, just had to be some old bat behind the wheel trying to cash in her lottery ticket… *grumbles*

                      • yeah OK says:

                        There is nothing sexy about malevolent and skin crawly. Not both together. Malevolent by itself, maybe. Too bad Putin’s both. I suspect he “won” ’cause he’s the white guy.

                • Uncle Fester says:

                  People still take notice of that tired old junkie? Quite how he finagled a suspended sentence is beyond me, especially as he was found in possession of MORE prescribed drugs in someone else’s name. Having said that, they were viagra tabs, rather than his usual weapon of choice. Just in another man’s name…. a ‘Mr Tumnus’ perhaps?

                  • Tessie says:

                    “they were viagra tabs, rather than his usual weapon of choice. Just in another man’s name…. a ‘Mr Tumnus’ perhaps?”
                    `
                    ?? I thought it was spelled “tumescent”.

                    • Uncle Fester says:

                      you have viagra tabs in the name of another man when you’re on probation for falsifying your name on prescriptions and they don’t charge you?

                      Means when you were packing up from the motel you were in, you picked up the other guy’s viagra and could prove it…

                      ‘We had a weekend of wild, drug fuelled, gay sex, and I picked up his viagra… ooops’

                      and the word I think is turgid when applied to erectile tissue.

  4. wickedwitch says:

    He’s got some pretty good he-boobies for such a skinny guy.

  5. Floofness says:

    Finally! I was worried Vladimir Putin would be the only sexy world leader.

  6. Alden Bugly says:

    Beach bunny ‘bama is gonna be tested early and probably more than from one source. Xinhua (China), Russian media and of course Middle Eastern rags all cranking up the volume. Hopefully he will stand up to them.

  8. RoseRedHoofbeats says:

    Damn, but that man is good looking.

  9. KatehThaKitteh says:

    This picture ain’t too pretty either…

    Commence poo flinging fest.

    Nice jiggly man-boobies, Barry.

  12. risa says:

    i admit, he is one sexy ass man

  13. Caroll says:

    Hot. I issue a challenge for some RPS with Putin.

  14. Misstressbabythegrim says:

    YUCK! and this is better how?

  15. AtlasShrugged says:

    I shall nick-name him “Shaft”.
    Not because of who he looks like, but what we shall probably receive from him and the IRS soon.

  16. Wyde says:

    The reason “this shot of McCain is NOT pretty” is because he was a tortured war hero. Go ahead and read his Wikipedia page. See if you’d like that done to you, while denying the oppurtinity of freedom for renouncing your nation and making sure you were the last POW in the camp to leave. Then read about how his arms were broken so many times, he can’t lift them above his head anymore. And that’s just a summary.

    • slan agat says:

      Y’know, I won’t dispute that McCain got the sh!t beat out of him by the Vietnamese, that it shows some spirit that he refused to pull strings to come home earlier than his fellow prisoners (the only time he didn’t exercise the privilege of his father’s rank, from what I can tell). But what makes me pause to think is: how do we define a hero? Where is that bar and how do we set it?

      Are you a hero simply for taking a beating? Seems pretty shaky.

      Are you a hero for getting hurt to spare other people from suffering? Weeeeeell, if you are, then the GOP have a lot of groveling to do to make it up to John Kerry and Max Cleland. And if so, did McCain’s determination to stay at the Hanoi Hilton relieve anyone of suffering? Did any of his mates get out any sooner because of him? There’s no conclusive answer there.

      In short, are you a hero for what’s done to you, or for what you’ve done? We have to be careful about what terms mean, or else they don’t mean anything.

  17. HappyGestapo says:

    I KNEW IT!!!! HE’S WHITE!!!!

  18. MNGirl says:

    This shot isn’t pretty either.

    Ugh, Obama is NOT attractive. He may be physically fit, but he is not pretty.

  19. rob says:

    I always thought he was kinda fat…
