“Breaking news video:” Journalists ogle Obama
You know, when I read about this CNN video via Allahpundit yesterday, I threw up a little in my mouth. The clip of female journalists on a plane moaning as they watch Barack Obama talking on a cell phone was actually filed under “breaking news video” on the CNN website with the caption, “Obama in jeans: Sen. Barack Obama surprises the press corps by wearing jeans.”
Now, the video’s on YouTube. And it really should have a content warning advising viewers to watch it only on a completely empty stomach. Several members of the press corps yell at an agent to “sit down” because she’s obstructing their view. They giggle and sigh “You’re killing us” as he straddles across a row of seats and they furiously click away on their cameras.
Kneepads, ladies?
This is CNN.

This reminds me of the time President Clinton was giving some speech and that Claire Shipman looked like she was having an begins with “o” (well you get it, not sure if it’s a banable word).
This is really a joke.
This election cycle is turning me into a sideways bobblehead doll. Just so much to walk around shaking my head at…
We hood, we vot’n, tho-initup. Yikes.
Wonder if the FAA approved this – it’s against the law to use a cell phone on an aircraft in flight. Or maybe it was another photo op on the ground. Either way, bad publicity. *gag*
Meet your new President, elected on how he looks in Jeans. I hope the heads of Iran, North Korea and al Qaeda are all gay.
Larry Flynt was unavailable for comment.
Could the media be more fawning and biased?
You know you want him. I’m sure lots of you will be taking your laptops to bed with you.
Of my numerous pet-peeves, grown women giggling like schoolgirls is among the top 3.
I thought this was a presidential election, not American Idol.
Reminds me of Paula Zahn who, if you’ll recall, was so upset over the sound of a zipper and “just a little sexy” in a promo for her because it objectified her. Then she gushes over John Kerry in a wetsuit and how turned on she was.
Sooo, why is Michelle (O, that is) sooo angry… ?
I saw those jeans. They weren’t “Chic”, they said “SNOB” on the pocket.
to echo some of the HA commenters — the press corp can swoon all they want; b.o. just provided the OTHER 98% of the voting public this year’s “windsurfing” pic …
Disgusting
Gag me with a spoon.
Michelle better be keeping a good leash on Barry…
On the other hand, this must scare the crap outta ill young kim.
At first I thought they were Diesel, but they’re actually Hybrid. But I don’t care what the label says, I’m betting they’ve seen their share of gas.

jeeze – he’s a revolting man
He is the easiest candidate on the eyes
Maybe that’s why she’s so crabby. She also sees him as a young JFK…if Katie Couric sings Happy Birthday to him on TV I’m leaving the room.
Gag me!
good thing it’s almost Happy Hour, I really need to wash that little bit of vomit that just came up in my mouth… (and for the “i’m just sayin” file: I suspect these would be the same gaggle of female journos that would shriek “sexual harassment” at the mere perception of an ogle from one of their male superiors…)
This is as bad when Al Gore stuffed the front of his pants for the cover of Rolling Stone. These people have too many promiscuous foibles to be taken seriously.
Geez…somehow, I’m not surprised. That’s the American press, folks!
Pathetic. The average IQ in the US must be depressingly low.
“Michelle better be keeping a good leash on Barry”
why? wouldn’t him cheating on her HELP him in the whole “judgement” argument?
# 27 nyc
um, please don’t extrapolate the idiocy of network “journalists” into the general population …
His posing looks as phony as the models in Macy’s Sunday circular. No real person stands like that talking on the cell phone.
It’s so phony that in my mind’s eye, I have a vision of BHO in that same pose re-clothed in some cheesy plaid bellbottoms and an orange double-knit shirt from a 1970 Spiegel’s catalog. Now that’s Presidential.
Is it possible for the MSM to become any shallower?
Applications for interns are now being accepted, preference to cigar aficionados.
eeeeewwwwww
All I can say is, what a bunch of idiots.
Maureen Dowd supported bush over Gore in 2000 because she thought he had a better package. She wasn’t talking about economics.
I’m not gay (you’ll have to tak emy word)… but even with my straight goggles on I still don’t get what’s all the hooplah about Barry’s “dreamy” good looks. (c’mom gals, he’s no JFK!) I dunno, maybe more like cross between Prince Charles and that kid from Different Strokes?
Paging.. Monica Lewinski to the front..Monica Lewinski to the Front please….
The candidate NEEDS you….
so a scrawny, big eared, really ugly guy is being fawned over…. and his lips look like a mortician did his make up…… but… CNN loves him. But then, I always thought Clinton looked like a big ninny.
Oh, That just smacks of a photo shop with the Abu Ghraib picture with the chick with the guy on the leash. LOL
Remember supposedly a lot of women found Slick Willy attractive. I have never met a woman who agreed but that was the mantra.
Now we have big ears Obama and he’s being labeled as a heartthrob and that is enough qualification to be elected POTUS. This country is finished.
Well this is the reason why Obama will get votes…women fantasize about having him as THEIR lover..they are not looking at who should lead-and they can’t get the two concepts straight.
Why did you slander my country, you piece of filth? Why did you slander my country, you piece of filth? Why did you slander my country, you piece of filth?
“You’re killing us…” … distracting us from the ongoing research and critical thought we’re putting into our stories about you.
But I guess the press has a first amendment right to be shallow.
I am a little surprised not one of you here has made the obvious joke.
Shame on you all for making me, an Obama supporter, do it.
N.B. when you click the link, scroll down to #18.
I think it’s Michelle Obama that needs a leash.
Ruff ruff.
I don’t recall who said it, but there was a telling observation I read once which stated, “American journalists don’t see their role as informing the electorate, but to get the democrat past the electorate.”
Anyone wondering why Senator Hopenchange has his own kind of “press pass” – i.e., why he escapes any kind of real scrutiny or difficult questioning by the “reporters” assigned to his campaign – need only watch this video.
Donkeys – and their media proxies – don’t want a serious candidate. They want a “Rock Star.” They want to be starry-eyed groupies, hoping for a chance to get backstage and hurl their panties at the guy (or if they’re male, they want to “feel a tingle up their leg” – ugh).
Michelle Obama had better watch out. These “journalists” would probably poison whatever she’s drinking these days — just for the opportunity to elbow, kick, scratch, claw and pull each other’s hair to see which one of them can be first in line to have the Messiah’s baby.
Regulus, the Democrat Party want a Socialist puppet. The media is just aiding them.
For some strange reason, my sound didn’t work. From other comments, it’s something I should be thankful for?
I have always hated going to those “girl things” where they have male stripper. It’s embarrassing to see so many of my sex turn into mindless idiots. This appears to be similar in tone.
Poise
Elegance
Bathing suit competition? Are we running a presidential primary or a beauty contest?
Reporter: “Barack, how do you do it? Your coolness..your vibe?”
BHO: “Well, it’s simply a tool. While some folks are embittered and cling to their guns and religion, other more erudite folks pine for a President who can respond to their deepest needs. And so, in the service of my country, I am committed to using this natural tool of mine to fulfill the needs of my constituents.”
Reporter: ::faints::
Some time ago, I envisioned an anti-Obama ad. It would just show head-on, Obama supporters listening to a vacuous Obama speech, with the title:
“Come join the cult.”
Sounds like it’s still a good ad.
Promise you! And no one will convince me he wasn’t struttin for the camera knowing full well what was up there. I doubt he has the strength of character to turn it down.
I can hear Barry White in the background…
I’ll give him Miss Congeniality.
But kissing him is like licking an ashtray.
You’re smart, we’re dumb; recurring theme. Why did you slander my online community, you piece of filth? Why did you slander my online community, you piece of filth? Why did you slander my online community, you piece of filth?
Regulus – my thoughts exactly. Those aren’t journalists – they’re groupies.
Look, this guy is a rock star to them, flashing his crotch down the aisle at them. He knew what he was doing and they were clearly and audibly having multiple obamagasms.
How can any thinking person believe these “reporters” are unbiased?
Um….uh….what the hell is your issue?
Step away from the ledge dude.
I am a little surprised not one of you here has made the obvious joke.
Shame on you all for making me, an Obama supporter, do it.
you mean like a joke but not funny?
# 57
i’m pretty sure the issue is the fact you actually support this shifty, sleazy, marxist …
B. Hussein is NOT attractive. Neither was John Big Hair Kerry or Gore or Clinton. What lib women find attractive is just ewwww.
FoxNews cans a producer because she told John McCain she voted for him, but I’m sure nothing will happen to the CNN reporterettes enjoying a Chippendales show with Obama.

What’s that say about your country putz?
Lol.
Does this mean I have permission to swoon over Hillary now? May I comment on her looks and appreciate her cleavage?
Vote Obama, the real Mr. Big!
I thought he was going to say,”Excuse me while I whip this out”.
“appreciate her cleavage”
um, doesn’t she have to have some to appreciate it?
Does he actually put his foot on the arm rest of a seat, where other people’s hands rest?
That’s a bit rude.
Oh wait, I forgot – no one else matters.
Boy, everyone is just full of good humor.
I try to make a joke at my candidate’s expense and one which a) segues nicely with the thread topic and b) I am guessing segues nicely with the opinion re: Obama of the majority of posters here and look what I get…
(stifling my tears)
You are hurting my self-esteem.
# 67
it would appear suck.it.up. might apply here ….
Lib women find your money going to their constituents attractive.
If this wasn’t such a serious time in our country’s life, the way the media swoons over this marxists believer, would be comical.They are so dense between the ears, they can’t see what a threat to the country he is. I’m hoping someone finds an anidote for the cool aid before November, and the people supporting him snaps out of it.
From what I’ve seen from the media as they fawn over Obama Lama Ding Dong not much of a surprise. Maybe some of these http://www.opticsplanet.net/picture-1-blackhawk-hellstorm-advanced-tactical-knee-pads-v-2.html will help the poor ladies out.
Let’s not forget Commander Codpiece on the deck of the Missouri.
Mission Accomplished!
These are supposed to the “liberated” women. Sad. I have to say though, I still think President Bush looks better in a pair of jeans that BHO.
Juvenile. And pathetic.
BTW, he knew he was being fawned over and filmed. He should be careful–this is yet ANOTHER thing for his angry, bitter wife to get all angry and bitter over.
Ditto that #73
Was Chris Matthews on board & his pants going crazy? Thank God for the bloggers since the MSM can’t be trusted about anything.
Michelle Obama is gonna give him s#it for the obvious posing.
Don’t sweat the knuckleheads Chapoutier.
I don’t think you or I would ever attack the physical appearance of McCain or Hillary on this blog, or go Ewwwwwwww. I just don’t think it’s relevant.
Look at the # of comments.
The commenters protest too much. Some of the guys are going through the same issues as the Military Dad from American Beauty.
The women just flat out want him, something awful.
Conservative commenter’s bed tonight:
Oh Barack, Barack, oh GOD yess, yesssss!
Honey????????!!!!!!!! W.T.F.
Mr. Obama- Play on, Playah.
Yeah, posing for cams is all well and good, but can he dance?
chap, I’m a McCain guy and I thought it was funny as hell. Thinking that myman forgot to take his meds this pm, and buckeroo’s just an idiot who has no idea what the term “marxist” means.
Isn’t that Barry (Rev. Damn) Wright?
Now now, all this talk isn’t helping my kids.
I’ve heard lots of stereotypes about whimpy liberal men. I guess that’s why terrorists endorse them.
This must be that “giant sucking sound” that Perot was talking about.
Now that was funny.
I could only get 23 seconds into it before I had to turn it off. Maybe they were still on the ground; a nice bit of turbulence would certainly have rendered that “lemme put my foot up here on the seat and look sexy” pose impossible . . .
Oh, and BTW, eeewwww.
What I am looking for in a president is not the ability to preen in front of the ladies of the press corps.
I think I might have to go bleach my brain now.
To quote from “SHAFT”.
Who’s the big black private dick who’s a sex machine with all the chicks?”
BARACK!!
“You’re damn right”
“Who’s the cat that won’t cop out, when there’s danger all about?”
BARACK!!
“Right on!”
“THEY SAY BARACK’S A BAD MUTHERF@!!”
SHUT YO MOUFF!!
“But I’m talkin’ bout Barack!”
Oh… Ick. X0o
empty stomach didn’t help……….arghhhh…he’s positively R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G.
perhaps that’s why he like revolutionaries so much….HEH
While I have major issues with McCain, he does nothing to act as if he’s more than what he is. Hillary and Bam Bam are fair game because their falseness is apparent… so…..EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Lib LOL
He’s bad all right.
But I’m thinking more like Undercover Brother – driving a gold Cadillac with an Orange Soda dispenser who doesn’t spill a drop as the Caddy does 360s.
Now that’s bad
Wow. We’ve come a long way, baby, since we were all supposed to be so outraged at what Anita Hill had to say about her experiences in the workplace, huh?
AH damn, what was that ol’ Jim Croce song about “South Side of Chicago” Bad Leroy Brown?
Was Chris Matthews on that plane?
