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.

On the money regarding the testosterone. He’s probably been getting a testo supplement, which would explain the “dog tit” pecs and redistribution of body fat away from the abdomen. Another trick: look at his arms and forearms to see if his vascularity has increased more than explained by his weight loss and his moderate-at-best weight training.

Man-boobs. He's a total sissy. Michelle has the penis in that household. I mean, she's built like a defensive end. (Speaking of ends... Michelle Obama's butt is so big it has smaller butts orbiting around it.)

Obama needs a man bra. These pictures were staged like everything else “That Won??” does.

It's surprising that O'Reilly and Margaret Hoover could not figure out that this semi-nude soft porn pose by Obama was an obvious publicity stunt to get the Blago scandal off page one. Got that yet Bill O'Reilly, Hannity? It's easy to predict the next phase will be Barack Hussein or Michelle talking about their sex life. Has he done a Playboy interview yet?
