To counteract John McCain's positive reception at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Democratic candidate Barack Obama decided to attend the massive biker event earlier today. Early reports indicate that it didn't go so well.

Curiously, the mainstream media has honored the Obama campaign's request to embargo all photographs of the visit. Thankfully for the American people, Exurban League has acquired the photos from a hardcore biker who was present at the events. (Thanks again, Stinky Bart!)

The visit began with a flashy, Berlin-style speech. Seizing the moment, Obama gave the stirring call to action from atop Mount Rushmore. "Together we hope for change. By uniting we can change the future," he said. "Because the future belongs to us. We are the hopeful changers that we have been hoping for." The symbolism of standing on Lincoln's head seemed like a sure winner, but many in the audience were less than impressed. "It don't make no sense," said one unnamed biker. "I mean, if you're gonna go to all that trouble, why not make the stage look like a stovepipe hat?"

The candidate then bicycled to the town of Sturgis, shunning the Harleys and choppers of the other attendees. "I want to set an example for these men and women -- you don't need to waste all these non-renewable fuels," Obama said. He also told several motorcyclists that they should wear helmets and purchase better mufflers for their loud vehicles. "Even five-year-olds know that a helmet is an important safety device," he said. Obama promised to pass nationwide helmet laws and anti-noise ordinances...

This all looks photo-shopped.

I swear to God that he has that helmet on backwards!

I'm absolutely positive it's on backwards, because I've done it myself.

Was that part PhotoShopped too?

If it wasn't, the original photo is priceless proof of his utter dufusness.

Actually that’s how he wore the lid. Dukakis strikes again!

[figetyfiggs]

Obama ought to be on a Pee-Wee Hermann bike. That would fit his image more.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Comparing the original, it is confirmed that he has that freaking helmet on backward!

What a clown!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Where are the training wheels?

[NRA2BFree]

Funny but they left the best part off of Obama's bike. The back tire is almost flat. LOL

Sure, but I'm not running for President.

[McGruff]

Obama grabs his Harley and heads for Sturgis.

[PjhCPA]

How do you figure? It’s got a visor on the front. I have one very similar to that and I know I’m not wearing it backwards. (I hope.)
