    Is ANYBODY shocked by this MSM double-standard revelation? I hope Obama has a thick skin to go with those pecs – when the tide turns on him – and the press will turn on him as they have every other President since Johnson – he going to need it.

    Would have been nice if the press had offered the same scrutiny of his Oneness’ hopeless policies and empty rhetoric as they did of his OMG-inducing physique. Call me old-fashioned.

    My guess is that the most powerful army and huge nuclear arsenal might carry a teensy bit more weight than a nickname given by some blogger no one’s ever heard of in terms of whether or not other countries take Obama seriously.

    Well, when you have international publications including the Daily Mail in the UK reporting about his “fitness”, it’s not just one blogger, it’s the entire media.

    Yeah, right. Is that before or after Barack Hussein, Allah Be Praised, BroBama cuts our military 25% and starts to dismantle the nuclear arsenal?

    The first time Russia or China causes him to blink the gig is up. In 1940 the French had a bigger Armored command then the Germans. During the invasion they kept sending Brigades to oppose Divisions-exactly as the Germans knew they would. The majority of French Armored vehicles to see combat did so on the Easter Front with Vichy and other collaborator troops.

    All the weapons in the world will not help if the Command Structure is weak. Million dollar missiles rearranging rock piles does not impress as we have seen.That may not be correct Bill Maher/Chris Matthews history and analysis but then I really do not care.

    Go ogle McCheesecake; aka Barack Hussein, Allah Be Praised, BroBama.

    What exactly is your argument?

    That he won’t be taken seriously because he is fit? or because there is a pic out there with him without his shirt? As I recall, there are a few of those of Putin and I don’t think he has a credibility problem.

    Although I agree Obama is physically fit,plays b-ball (sort-of), and looks so hip and kool breakin’-a-lil-sweat while joggin-with-tha-tunes, I still think he looks like a skinny sissy-boy. I wonder if he will have time to be commander-in-chief with all of the domestic problem solving he has committed to. Maybe that is a good thing. Let the Generals and Admirals handle the warrior stuff. And, oh please, put the shirt back on thank you very much.

    Chapoutier,
    I agree to a point- His being taken seriously has nothing to do with a few pictures and articles of praise. Oh no, the real test is yet to come- and soon.
    Mainly it is just downright silly of the media to fawn all over a guy like a teen idol. IMHO, it is preemptive preparation of warm and fuzzy feelings to make a certain portion of the population forget or forgive gaffes yet to come. They certainly did the same for Clinton. And it worked, to a point.
    I am prepared to judge him on performance alone. I hope the press will do so just as honestly, but I won’t hold my breath.

    Don’t worry, our military is used to it. When I was squadron Maintenance Officer, we performed (apparent)miracles by consistently keeping aircraft in the air despite a constant shortage of parts and manpower, all through adept chicanery, sleight-of-hand, profuse lying and other forms of blatant regulation-bending, artful subterfuge.

    Well, yeah, he does — a US Senator for 2 years, and now he’s a president. If they, the media keep oohing and aahing over his pecs (please, the guy was 20+ year smoker, and I’d challenge him to a marathon with GW Bush any day).

    Perhaps one of these days the media can focus on what he stands for, because once in a while we, the people would like to know.

    Maybe I’m old-fashioned (which ought to get a monster belly-laugh out of my beloved spouse), but I find it extremely undignified for the Leader-of-the-Free-World-in-waiting to allow himself to be photographed shirtless, especially since this isn’t the first time it’s happened.

    At least there haven’t been any bikini shots of My Belle (yet).

    When I hear Chris Matthews and Katie Couric et al. genuflecting before Barack Obama’s supposedly Arnoldesque pecs, I have to wonder what planet these media folks live on. If any of these media blowhards would attend one golden gloves boxing program, they would know that Barack Obama is hardly a model of fitness. He is in better shape than Bill Clinton and Al Gore but so what? Ah for the good old days of John Kerry claiming that he ran and finished a Boston Marathon (but he just could not recall the year! Believe me, if you run one marathon in your lifetime and the marathon is the difficult and famous Boston Marathon, you will remember the year you ran and finished the race).
    I just hope that Chris Matthews was away on vacation when the shirtless Barack photos were on the internet.

    I remember an article during the campaign by some fawning twit who met Teh O in a gym and was so impressed by the fact that he wasn’t sweaty AFTER his workout. If he ain’t sweatin’, he ain’t workin’ out. He’s just going through the motions.
    Phony baloney and empty promises just like everything else about him. He’s all appearance with nothing inside.

    Unfortunately for you all, the fact is the economy is probably going to be well on its way into recovery right around the time 2012 rolls along. And rightly or wrongly, the incumbent will get credit for that in the eyes of the voters.

MacArthur-like? They could have a contest where the lucky fan gets to ask Obama riveting questions like, “What’s your favorite color?” It’ll fetch a fortune in the future on Ebay, along with the commemorative coins, lapel pins, posters, dinner plates and other assorted swag that the entrepreneurial among us is hustling while the getting is good.

And if Chairman 0 increases taxes on investments, imposes Draconian “global warming” regulations, and passes card check to unionize the last remaining pockets of productive industry in this country — as he wants to do — any economic recovery will be smothered in its crib.

    These pictures are the same crap that Mussolini and Hitler used to pull. Everything was about their liberal socialism and how the populace should be as “healthy” and “fit” as they were. It was a typical liberal illusion. Mussolini was said to have a voracious sexual appetite because he was healthy and therefore, virle.

    It’s all about the health of the nation. You know, The Greater Good. Be healthy for the nation! Just watch any of the National Socialist films about die Jugend to see this liberal viewpoint.

    I have no problems with being healthy. But when the brain-donor socialist president-elect has the state of his physical fitness shoved down my throat in Mussolini-esque and Hitler-esque style by a bunch of boot-licking reporters, I think I’m entitled to vomit it back up.

    On the subject of MST3K…

    If you miss it, go to the RiffTrax website. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett (along with guest riffers) rip into all kinds of movies. The MP3s are cheap and they’re a riot.

    By the way, Manos – Hands of Fate is now considered to the be worst movie ever made. And when you think of all the sh!t-on-celluloid that Hollyweird has produced in just the last 10-15 years, being worse than that is quite a feat.

    My point is there seems to be quite a bit of hand-wringing and overanalysis of what essentially amounts to a picture of a guy on a beach without a shirt.

    And I am not saying you would trust Putin to watch your dog on vacation, but if he is threatening to move troops to the Ukrainian border, I bet you take him seriously, topless photos or not.

    chap: I guess I’m not a shirtless guy. There’s also a lot of hand-wringing about the “dignity of the office.” That’s probably where the impasse occurs. People want a populist president, but when he lets his man boobs hang out, they wonder aloud whether he can be taken seriously because he’s too “casual.”

    Personally, the credibility issue with Obama has nothing to do with what he does or doesn’t happen to be wearing. It’s much deeper than attire.

    Yes, Cosmo. As I said, it’s the liberal fascist hypocracy.

    But remember, it’s the dear leader that is supposed to be the most fit (it’s a Darwiniac thing). He’s physically fit, therefore, he’s fit to rule. Get it? That’s the whole point of the article. Forget about the pictures and concentrate on the liberal facisim of the article. We are told that The One is an incredible physical specimen; just like the Italian press did with Mussolini. Since the dear leader is physically fit, the country must be physically fit. And the good little bundists in the press will continue to tell us what to think.

    The first RiffTrax I experienced (because that’s what it is!) was for The Matrix. Damn near peed my pants I was laughing so hard. Personally, the riffs of Harry Potter 1 and 2 are great! “Are you sure his name isn’t Mumble-dore?”

    No. That he won’t be taken seriously because he is a self-absorbed narcissist who whants to be seen and adored. The Putins of the world eat boys like him for lunch snacks. He may control the American media but he is soon to come to a rude awakening when faced with real-world challenges he and his syncophants cannot spin away.

    He is a childish amateur celebrity likely to get a lot of people killed.

    —————————————

    I also thought it was odd the see the term “cheesecake” in connection to a man. You’re right.

    And it will take more than BEEFCAKE pictures of President Elect Obama to convince me to vote to reelect him 4 years from now; only time will tell. As Dennis Miller put it, I hope I’m salivating to vote for him by then, but not because of a shirtless picture.

    Hope-a-Dope got elected on the basis of a combination American Idol / Cult of Personality connection with his supporters; it is no surprise whatsoever that we’re now seeing “Cult of the Strongman” photos a la Mussolini and Putin popping up in the media.

    Hope-a-Dope is a creature of the press; he could never have won the donkey primary, not to mention the general election, without their cheerleading and blocking for him.

    The only difference between Italy of the 1930s, Russia of today and the USA of tomorrow is that the first two had governments that intimidated and otherwise dragooned their media into over-the-top adulation of The Dear Leader.

    The American media required no coercion at all; they were only too glad to fall in line.

    I agree. I bet W could kick his butt aerobically, particularly with that nicotine problem.

    I think you would be surprised with the power of paparazzi’s telescopic lenses.

    Methinks the comment you quote is made in light of the fact that scopes on rifles are also quite good. If the paparazzi can get off a shot without the Secret Service knowing about it, I think they have a glaring hole in their security (which I assume they do not).
