Here is the photo of Barack Obama shirtless in Hawaii:
Everyone is swooning about this photo of President-elect Barack Obama vacation for Christmas in Hawaii. Despite the fact that people seem really shocked to have a buff President, I have to wonder why the secret service let someone get close enough to get a photo like this - shirtless or not. I don't think we've seen a President in my lifetime with the confidence to walk around shirtless and in his swim shorts. Obama is all about change isn't he?! The President-elect has a great set of pecs and abs! Wor
