Was Obama "Pec" Picture staged?
The Washington Times ^ | 12/24/08 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 12/24/2008 6:58:33 AM PST by lakeprincess

The shirtless "hot president" photo seen 'round the world: Was it staged, like the Clintons dancing on the beach long ago? Some have voiced their suspicions. Check the link, which recalls that Reagan had his cachet as a lifeguard.

“I agree it was staged. The photo does not have a “telephoto lens” look to me so the photographer was up close which means they let him get up close.”

Yep, and also, when a president or president elect travels, and especially when one settles in a vacation spot for a time, the SS establishes a wide security perimeter. Not sure many could get within telephoto lens distance to take such a picture. And Obama looks like he’s posing for a photo.

All I’ll be saying for the next four years is “I can’t believe this pipsqueak is our president.”

Watching how he's increased his workouts recently, I'd bet money he was anticipating trying to redeem last year's photo where he was not as lean as magazine buyers would have liked.

But you know what strikes me in the majority of his pictures -- even his childhood ones -- he is a loner. Always by himself, not seeming to need anyone. He's rarely physically affectionate so it almost seems forced to me. Others love on him, but his hands are rarely around others. Here's what I mean:

I wouldn't call those lil' things pecs.
Remember, they voted for him because of his brains (lol) not his looks...

More and more it becomes obvious that Zero is a completely manufactured icon from Hollywoodhell.

A man of no accomplishments, no decisions, no outstanding contributions, no decisive stands becomes president. In order to keep interest in this cipher, the world is treated to an Enquirer-esque photo-op of Zero’s metrosexual charm in an increasingly dangerous world.

The majority of idiots who voted for this Zip deserve what they get. Unfortunately, the minority who didn’t will get dragged down in their happy Hades, too.

I noticed that the gait of each subject in the photos linked below were strikingly similar. Please forgive my lack of technical skills. I don’t know how to post pictures on here.

There isn’t a single photo at that level of politics that isn’t staged. And I don’t care who the politician is.

GWB has had his faults, but on his bad days, he’s 10 times the man Obama is. Maybe 20X.

Remember the press articles about GWB exercising too much, and not fulfilling his duties as President? Can you imagine Obama running 3.2 miles in 18 minutes, or even knowing which end of an ax to hold?

I got a feeling that the next four years will be one, huge sit-com. (Only I won’t be laughing.)

He has no soul.
I can't believe that this guy was elected, and I can't believe the damage that he can/will do as POTUS, but don't you think you're overdoing it just a wee bit? [I think that we here at FR need to keep to valid,well-founded criticism to maintain our own validity. Ad hominems don't help.]

No, I don’t think I am overdoing it, sadly. What I mean is that I think he is strictly out for himself, and for power. His interests are for him and his agenda, which I think is control, nothing else. He has not sought the position to serve his fellow man, IMHO. Sorry if that sounds negative. He scares me....every time I see him I wonder who he is and what is the force behind him.

He looks like an absolutely ordinary schmoe to me. I don’t see anything remarkable about his physique.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

These people can make a mountain out of a grain of sand. During the 04 election some idiot female reporter referred to John Kerry’s “Paul Bunyan physique”, he actually has more of a Paul Rubin (PeeWee Herman) physique. Obama and Kerry both look like the 97 pound weakling in the old Charles Atlas ads.
On the other hand a Republican president could win “Mr. Olympia” and they wouldn’t even report it unless they could make something negative out of it. George W. Bush could probably grab Obama in one hand and Kerry in the other and crack their silly heads together.

That’s what I thought too. When I looked at it the first time, I thought someone had photo shopped it and put boobs on him.
