I do agree the one they are showing does look staged.

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.

Make that “ladies,” not “padies.”

I wondered what padies were! :)
I do agree the one they are showing does look staged.
I smoke. I’m in great physical shape.
So did Joe DiMaggio, Roger Maris and Babe Ruth.
Do you want to try to post something that doesn’t reek of a liberal social engineering agenda?
Hey. I smoke too and have been bitched at and persecuted by health freeks for decades for dragging down the health system.
I was only making fun of the fact that suddenly they dont care about this matter when it comes to the Obamasiah L0L
Suddenly smokers are the height of fitness L0L so long as they work out and hide their smoking...
This whole anti smoking thing went past silly 11 years ago and has moved straight to retarded.
If it's so horrible, just ban it already. Give up the tax revenue that makes the states billions.
At least Obama is not a fat ass. In his defense, let's give the man his props.
Lets tax soda pop and big screen TVs.
That will make’em squeal!
All these people that demonize smokers? They are about to get theirs when they pay the fireplace tax on Christmas morning or the twinkie tax at lunch, or what ever other airy reason we can come up with to Tax people.
“Poor Alan Greenspan. He’ll be waking up to a terrible headache due to the “whirring” sound that interrupted his sleep several times during the night. Mrs. Greenspan will require several extra layers of makeup to camouflage a visibly tired face.” ................
What!?! The advertisement says they are facial massagers.
I propose a Hollywood tax.
$1 / DVD.
“For the children”.
Oh. And a “windfall profits” tax on trial lawyers’ fees.
And common-sense maximum damages, in all civil cases.
$100,000 seems more than enough, for any lawyer.
I say let barama smoke in bed in the whitehouse if he wants.
But on other things I have issues with him.
Lets hope he has a brain in his head and isnt a total nanny stater.
He wont though. He will be like Scwazeneggah.
“I cahn smoke in da ovice, but it is bahnned for yoo peeons”
1 dollar!
make it hurt!
you may not watch anything that others may over see which they dont like.
If you watch on a big screen a 2000% penalty will be imposed
My FRiend, we have gone completely off topic...and it’s your fault :-)
We have no choice but to pray that Barack Fitzgerald Obama will be a centrist and piss off liberals as much as GW pissed off us conservatives. Largest expansion of the welfare state since the great society with Medicare Part D? Amnesty for illegal immigrants? Yeah, they’ll vote for limited government.
What the hell was this thread about again?
Oh? it s my fault LoL!
It was about Baramas Granny and the Lord Obamasiahs caring presence L0L
Sorry to hijack the thread L0L
Barack Fitzgerald Obama?
I thought his middle name was Milhouse.
Fitzgerald makes ever so much sense though...
After all, this is the new Obamalot.
Whoops I am off topic.
Ir was about Baramas image.
Obama's saggy bags are not. Nice try though.
I just figured “padies” was slang somewhere for queers. Dosen’t he have a boy friend who lives in that Apt. Bldg. where he goes to work out?
ROTFLMAO!
I’m competing with Mark Levin about Obama’s middle name.
He calls him Millhouse. I call him Fitzgerald.
Levin reaches millions of listeners and has a nationally syndicated talk radio show....I only reach 5 people who are up at 3 am to read this...he wins.
What can I say? My kids are off from school tomorrow and I took the day off too to take them for a haircut. Now I’m up venting at this hour because I love America.
Was he dancing with Aunt Esther?
