Best. Obama. Picture. Ever.

[calteacherguy]

Wouldn't it be great to live in America where every child believed they could one day be President?

1. that is a genius photo n/t

[Clintonista2]

2. good picture

[annie1]

3. what about female children? must be hard for them to imagine. : )

[babylonsister]

12. Cripes! Do female babies even know who Obama is? Sometimes,

a picture is just a picture, and this kid could have been either sex. :argh:

[College Liberal]

21. Negative

That is clearly a BOY in the mentioned photo.....

[babylonsister]

23. Do you think Obama picked a boy out for a photo op, or might it

have just happened? Sometimes a pic is just a pic. And yes, thanks, I know he's a boy.

30. A person has to

scrape the bottom of the barrel to find something offensive about that photograph.

29. Both of my daughters

think very highly of Senator Obama. They have taped photos of him up on their bedroom walls. The younger one plans to be president some day. The older one has read his books. There is something about Senator Obama that children like. I believe that children tend to be very good judges of character.

BAGnewsNotes: Shading Obama

10. There is a bright light source from our right. It is a good image

in that you can read a lot into it.

19. Time mag has been known to shade photos. OJ Simpson became MUCH darker after his wife...

...was murdered. Time did an OJ cover (iirc, it was a cover) that kind of startled me, it seemed that obvious. But they don't just do it with black people, so make of it what you will.

20. The first thing I thought of this was JFK's official portrait

God I hope that Obama does not suffer the same fate.

[Sultana]

25. Great image

1/2 & 1/2 just like him.

[TwilightGardener]

7. Aww--cute!

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Cute photo!

[mtnsnake]

9. I'm going to right up front with you folks....that kid is pretty cool!

His granpa looks like he's ready to collapse, though, from carrying him on his shoulders so long. I like the little Hillary button granpa is wearing on his lapel.

[babylonsister]

11. You're

such an ass! :rofl: But a funny one at times.

[mtnsnake]

14. Hi sis

Happy New Year to ya, just in case I don't get to tell ya tomorrow night :evilgrin:

:hi:

[babylonsister]

15. Back at ya, you snake you!

:hi:

[SoxFan]

13. Every child...

Wouldn't it be great to live in America where every child believed they could one day be President?

Well, ot would certainly keep Hillary's opposition research team busy for the forseeable future!

[annie1]

16. and if Obama hadn't made the nasty comment to which she was referring...

to when she brought up kindergarden, it wouldn't even be on the table. it was YOUR one that said she had been planning to run with pact blah blah blah. she was returning the argument.

17. Speaking of Obama and babies... His encounter this Saturday night is too funny..

December 29, 2007 - New York Daily News
RISQUE BIB-NESS

Barack Obama encountered profanity on the campaign trail tonight…..on a baby’s bib.

During an evening stop at George’s Pizza and Steakhouse in Fairfield, Iowa, Obama walked through the restaurant, greeting patrons, making small talk, cooing over the infants.

It was all par for the course on the trail until Obama got to the back table, where he found a boy wearing a bib that read “Nice T-ts. Can I try one?”

“Oh my goodness,” Obama exclaimed, upon spotting the bib. “My goodness!”

“Did we get a picture of this?” the Illinois senator asked.

“We’re going to have to censor this,” he joked, motioning to cover the bib with his hand.

Someone at the table helpfully shouted out, “You can just blur it out.”

Oh my.

:rofl:

Too funny!

[Catherine Vincent]

22. OMG!

How funny!

[sandnsea]

24. Oh that is funny

Although I've never thought it was quite appropriate to put that kind of thing on a baby.

[Jennifer C]

26. Very cute! nt

[alteredstate]

27. This is my favorite photograph of Senator Obama

[SoxFan]

33. Well, he DID live in Somerville for 3 years

That's how everyone drives in Boston!

[Anouka]

28. Obama doesn't have a face.

I don't know what that means, in terms of calling it best ever. It's a well done photo. It's just not an Obama photo. Or rather, an Obama focused photo.

[Perry Logan]

31. Lovely photo. Still, you can't deny you're a politician once you've done a baby picture.

[flpoljunkie]

32. Terrific!

[K Gardner]

34. K&R !

[ecstatic]

35. Honestly, that would be the most compelling reason for me to support Obama

at this point... Seeing someone who looks like you in a position of power can be life altering. I'm torn because although he was my number one choice at one point, I now feel that this country needs someone who can immediately get in there and get to work with no drawn out training period. Neither Obama nor Edwards has enough experience.
