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.

I’m reminded of the woman from NOW I believe who said that she would get on her knees for Bill Clinton any time he wanted because he saved abortion rights.
As for all those liberal abodes and Ms. Mitchell, once you go black...
It’s too bad Anchorage and Fairbanks are full of ice and 30 below and dark half the year. I can think of some other folks I’d much rather see topless than the President-elect.
Of course if she were ever to try something so obviously staged and so blatantly sexual as that, she’d be torn to shreds.
Although, I can’t say I blame Obama for going to Hawaii. Chicago isn’t exactly hospitable this time of year.
If Blago-Gate gets any worse, we might get treated to a speedo shot.
You can until he takes office.
***Any photographer that could get that shot could’ve been an assasin with a different shot in mind. ***
LINE OF FIRE.
Totally staged, just like the Klintoons on the beach.
Just for clarification - this poster is the left coast’s biggest fan of Governor Palin.
Seriously. When I say “bagged mooses”, that’s not some sexist slang or anything. I mean the moose. The moose which was, shall we say, no longer a moose.
(trying to remember how that Monty Python sketch went). Like that parrot. Or the cheese shop.
I am filled with profound respect, and admiration for Governor Palin, and hope that careless comment wasn’t misinterpreted by anyone. Because it SURE wasn’t meant that way...

PALIN 2012!
It is obvious that Obami knew his picture was being taken. If you look closer at his belly area, he is sucking in his belly making his abs look more slender and pushing out his chest.
Men have been trying to impress the padies on the beach like this forever.
Now, look at his abdominal sides, pouched out slightly over his waist. The beginnings of an agined ‘spare tire?’
You better believe these photos were staged.
Make that “ladies,” not “padies.”
Never mind Obama ... he’s so very boring already.
SARAH PALIN PHOTOS PLEASE. :)
Thanks in advance.
Sure...no problem. In fact, Jim Rob allows posting of pictures of boobies on Free Republic. Here's an image of dancing boobies:
dUH
I just figured it was an attempt to win back the homosexuals who were upset with his choice of Ric Warren at his inauguration.
You hit the nail..
HAD to be staged.
Of course it was staged. His ego has been smarting ever since Arnold made fun of him.
This guy is creepy.
His man boobs nips are purple- just like his lips.
Wonder what else is purple?
This would seem like SOP for Captain Zero
LOL
