Barack Obama Says Goodbye to His Grandmother
ET has the details...Barack Obama celebrated the life of his late grandmother at a memorial service Tuesday afternoon in Hawaii.

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

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

Obama’s Hawaiian Memorial to Grandmother
Barack  Obama’s Hawaiian family vacation isn’t just about sandy beaches and warm weather. It’s about saying goodbye. Barack and family held a private memorial service for his grandmother, “Toot”, Madelyn Dunham on a secluded coastline of Oahu, where they spread her ashes, along with flowers, into the ocean. Of course, Bauer Griffin was there to take the photos, and yes, I have access to them, but will I post them? Hell no. I might post the man looking all hot on

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

NYC museum avoids glib parallel between Obama, FDR
Sworn in as president in the midst of a deep economic crisis, Franklin D. Roosevelt turned his first 100 days into a swirl of action as he sought to right the sinking ship of state. At first glance the analogy between Roosevelt in 1933 and President-elect Barack Obama in 2009 seems almost too obvious. But at the New-York Historical Society, a new exhibition titled "A New President Takes Command: FDR's First Hundred Days" avoids overly simplified comparisons between the early stages of the Ne

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

Gay Congresswoman to co-chair Obama inauguration
Barack Obama is evidently trying to save face with the gays after the whole Rick Warren mess, so he's appointed openly gay Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin to serve as co-chairperson of his inauguration. Representative Baldwin will be one of 16 honorary co-chairs for President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration. Other co-chairs chosen by the Obama transition team include: former Presidents Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. Obama, of course, will be sworn in on January 20th in Washington.

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.

Obama report cites no shady talks with Blagojevich
WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama and two of his top aides met last week with federal investigators building a corruption case against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, accused of trying to swap Obama's Senate seat for cash or a lucrative job. The interviews with Obama, along with incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and adviser Valerie Jarrett, were disclosed Tuesday in an internal report produced for Obama on contacts with Blagojevich. The report supported Obama's insistence last week that ther

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. Durham's ashes were later scattered by loved ones at Lanai Lookout, the same spot where Obama scattered the ashes of his mother, S

Obama Makes Bible Pick
A press release from the Presidential Inaugural Committee reveals that President-Elect Barack Obama has selected the Bible he will use for his swearing-in: "On January 20th, President-elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office using the same Bible upon which President Lincoln was sworn in at his first inauguration. The Bible is currently part of the collections of the Library of Congress. Though there is no constitutional requirement for the use of a Bible during the swearing-in, Presi

MUSICAL DISTRACTION: “I’M GOING UPSTAIRS,” BY JOHN LEE HOOKER
Today’s Musical Distraction actually comes from one of our readers – a financial whiz who flirted with McCain early on, but come election day plans to “take that next step” with Obama. Mainly because he’s been crying himself to sleep at night over the market collapse and believes that Obama’s policy prescriptions, while not necessarily music to his free market-loving ears, are far more common-sense, reality-based than McCain’s.  He calls this song his

InStyle Magazine has a section of its website dedicated to "Hollywood Hair Makeovers" — you upload your picture, pick your hair and shudder in horror. An alert tipster sent our way a link to the newest options, which involves Sarah Palin, Cindy McCain, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama. Sadly, you have to have a headshot with your hair pulled back to use it effectively. Luckily, one of us (me) has a collection of candidate pictures on her hard drive and a (small) amount of time on her hands. So, afte

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
