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

Barack Obama Topless in Hawaii
I think its great that he is like every other American and doesn’t wear a shirt to the beach… i mean wouldn’t we all be talking about how stupid it would look if he wore a shirt into the water…. I think people just need to mind there own business and just base him on his presidential skills. I mean he does have a family and kids, why wouldn’t he go to the beach. Is he suppose to stop all of that because he’s president? NO!!! because he is an American, he can g

Clintons launch campaign swing for Obama in Pa.
AP - When Bill and Hillary Clinton take the stage Sunday at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, it will be the launch of an active campaign for their former nemesis Barack Obama in the home stretch of the 2008 presidential race. The nation’s best known and most powerful Democrats for nearly two decades, the former first couple is getting used to a new role: cheerleaders for Obama, who vanquished Hillary Clinton last spring in a Democratic primary contest for the ages. Whatever recriminations the Clint

FRANK RICH: MASTER OF THE MOMENT
The NY Times Opinionator writes a devastating piece about the McCain-Palin campaign’s attempts in recent weeks to ”brand [Obama] as a potential killer and an accessory to past attempts at murder.” “By the time McCain asks the crowd ”Who is the real Barack Obama?” it’s no surprise that someone cries out ”Terrorist!” The rhetorical conflation of Obama with terrorism is complete. It is stoked further by the repeated invocation of Obama’s middle name b

SHIRTLESS OBAMA CAUSING DRAMA: People are wondering how a photographer was able to bypass security to get the shot.
*Barack Obama isn't the first presidential figure to be photographed shirtless, and likely won't be the last. He is, however, the most physically-toned U.S. leader since JFK to be caught on camera bare-chested.        But inquiring minds want to know how the photographer from Bauer-Griffin – the same California-based agency who caught Halle Berry on a movie set this month at the precise moment of her wardrobe malfunction – was able to get the exclusive

Obama's sweet talk is a tale of pie
Sen. Barack Obama likes pie. Over the last three days of campaigning, it's become clear that he's given a great deal of thought to pie. He's talked about the kinds of pie he likes, about having a pie contest where he'll be a judge, and how pie fits into the larger economic difficulties of our time. On Thursday afternoon, in Georgetown, Ohio, Obama and Gov. Ted Strickland stopped at a diner for pie. He's been talking about the visit ever since. He waxed on about his pie during a rally in Portsmouth, Ohio t

Obama, “Say It To My Face”. If You Do You are Covered Under Obama’s Plan
Obama attacked John McCain in a recent TV interview, saying “Say It To My Face”. What is amusing about Obama’s response is that it is, in and of itself, an attack. Obama has been running a negative attack on McCain from day one. For him to criticize the McCain camp for any negative comment is laughable. Obama has attacked every facet of the current administration and made every attempt to link McCain and the Bush Administration, no matter how different those policies are and no matter

TIME Magazine: “Obama is a tolerant bigot”
What a crazy week it’s been for Barack Hussein Obama. First TIME magzine unveils photos of him smoking a joint in college. Then the ultra liberal magazine honors Barack Hussein Obama by naming him man of the year. And now one of TIME’s writers totally disses him by calling Obama a bigot. And the guy isn’t even moved into the White House yet. Unfortunately this TIME magazine writer will likely lose his job for speaking the truth. (Source)   This entry

Obama Attends Memorial Service for Grandmother
Barack Obama celebrated the life of Madelyn Dunham, the woman who was like a second mother to him at a private Honolulu memorial service on Tuesday. The service held at the First Unitarian Church, was closed to the media, and Obama's aides said only that only he and his wife, Michelle, his half-sister, Maya Santoro-Ng, and her husband, Konrad, attended the ceremony.

Barack Obama to pay big for primetime buy
Barack Obama will pay NBC and CBS almost $1 million each for the campaign’s half-hour ad buy in primetime Wednesday, Oct. 29, less than a week before the election.

PHILADELPHIA — His backers feeling increasingly confident, Democrat Barack Obama made a slight nod to his Republican rival on Saturday and asked voters to have faith in him as the next president.

Both campaigns spending about the same on negative ads
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The race for the White House is being waged in the final weeks in American living rooms through a blitz of negative campaign commercials. Both Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama are throwing large amounts of money into TV ad campaigns this year. And though the Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign circulated a University of Wisconsin Advertising Project study earlier this week indicating all of Sen. John McCain’s ads are negative compared to just 34 percent of Obama’s, both

Tax rebate, food stamp money possible in aid plan
AP - After consulting with Barack Obama, Democratic leaders are likely to call Congress back to work after the election in hopes of passing legislation that would include extended jobless benefits, money for food stamps and possibly a tax rebate, officials said Saturday. The bill’s total cost could reach $150 billion, these officials said. The officials stressed that no final decisions have been made. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt a formal announcement. H

McCain campaigns for Obama at McCain event?
At this late stage in the election, Republican nominee for President John McCain would undoubtedly prefer not to promote rival Barack Obama at one of his own campaign rallies. That’s what he had to do yesterday. More than once. State of the campaign There’s plenty of criticism that McCain brought this on himself because of his campaign’s tenor over the last two weeks. Then there are others who believe that questions about Obama’s past dealings with questionable characters are l
