Obama's Big Splash

I think Obamamania has just jumped the shark.
corinne | 01.08.07 02:51 PM
Interesting threesome..
Brad | 01.08.07 03:49 PM
Looks like Obama needs a bit of a tummy tuck.

scherzo | 01.08.07 03:49 PM
And this is relevant to his position as a US Senator how??
Daave | 01.08.07 03:54 PM
Wow... I'd like to see Bush with his shirt off, because I am very curious of what kind of tattoo he has been hiding from the public.
Greg | 01.08.07 03:58 PM
Everyone else gets to swim without someone publicizing their flabby guts. Why not Obama?
Pottery | 01.08.07 04:02 PM
When is the election? He da man!!
lynnette | 01.08.07 04:05 PM
Obama's a great guy, but he's getting over-exposed. (No pun intended)
Len Preston | 01.08.07 04:17 PM
Corinne,
I don't know how you define Obamamania, but he's acquiring stalkers almost as bad those who hunted Princess Diana. The man can't take a couple of days off? Yeesh!
Glen | 01.08.07 04:27 PM
'Jumped the shark?" And why, pray tell? I remember a similar picture of JFK, and it did nothing but enhance his charisma.
BLAKE | 01.08.07 04:34 PM
??? A person jumps the shark because they don't wear a shirt????
WTF
Invasion14 | 01.08.07 04:35 PM
Obama is a politicians who has the guts to bare it all!
he he he
navin | 01.08.07 04:43 PM
This is just ridiculous. Apparently if you're a woman or minority running for office then your appearance should matter. When was the last time you saw shirt-less Bush, Clinton, or Hastert....ewwww just gross myself out.
morel | 01.08.07 04:44 PM
Who gives a flying crap about what the man looks like without his shirt on... THIS IS NOT NEWS!
Marilyn | 01.08.07 04:52 PM
Im just glad to hear him called Obama instead of Osama or Barack Hussein.....
mark | 01.08.07 04:57 PM
You got to admire someone who uses their vacation to have fun and relax.
John | 01.08.07 05:02 PM
A distinguished black guy that can swim.
hihi | 01.08.07 05:08 PM
well he's no denny hastert

Wow... I'd like to see Bush with his shirt off, because I am very curious of what kind of tattoo he has been hiding from the public.
Greg | 01.08.07 03:58 PM
Well, Greg, there is that old picture of Bush on a balcony in his t-shirt and boxers (wish I could find it).
Maggie | 01.08.07 05:41 PM
For those of you who don't know that "jump the shark" means the media has run out of interesting and relevant things to say about Obama and have resorted to this, well, now you know. And yes, Clinton was shown shirtless on a beach with Hillary, and the body of a fifty-something.
And, yes, here's a reason you don't see Republicans shirtless. The bandages where their hearts were should not get wet.
goodog | 01.08.07 05:43 PM
Geeze louise, the guy was born/raised in Hawaii, he goes back with his family to visit his mother, goes to the beach like EVERYONE tends to do when in Hawaii, local or tourist, and some how it's pertinent and comment worthy.
Robert In LA | 01.08.07 06:00 PM
Tummy tuck? And the flab you apparently see is....where? Are you fraking serious? Get a sense of reality, mate.
Frak yu | 01.08.07 06:04 PM
"Flabby?" Are you insane?
wendy | 01.08.07 06:15 PM
Actually, he ain't all that flabby. That's just a bad shot. He isn't lookin' too bad at all.
Mark | 01.08.07 06:16 PM
Everyone commenting that he is fat (needs tummy tuck, flabby guts, etc) should post a picture of themselves topless on this site so we can all make sure that you are not just bitter loners.
Mike | 01.08.07 06:20 PM
gut, uhm, excuse me haters, but look closer. those are ab muscles.
obamwhamthankyoumam | 01.08.07 06:20 PM
Hey, Obama has boobies.
pigpaw | 01.08.07 07:06 PM
..."Apparently if you're a woman or minority running for office then your appearance should matter. When was the last time you saw shirt-less Bush, Clinton, or Hastert....ewwww just gross myself out."...
I don't know. I saw pictures of Clinton in shorts. Pasty, chubby, white thighs. Nasty.
pigpaws | 01.08.07 07:11 PM
yea definitely a conspiracy against women and minorities morel
you want to know why we haven't seen pictures of Bush or Clinton a shirt on? Because they are old.
Chris | 01.08.07 07:13 PM
It has jumped the shark. I have to agree.
estevan | 01.08.07 07:14 PM
Barak Obama has a lot more to say than to show. Some of the smarmy remarks about his needing cosmetic surgery, etc. is nothing short of a tragic commentary on American mentality. No wonder the Bush and Cheney leadership has such contempt for the U.S. public. That is what we show them, and we're better than this.
Maezeppa | 01.08.07 07:17 PM
His gut is fine, but anyone next to Hugh Jackman is going to look off.
Tofu | 01.08.07 07:24 PM
I saw Hassert wrestle a Kazhaki Reporter in a very strange, but hilarious documentary last year. It was gnarly. It was called "Boris" or something...
Jim | 01.08.07 07:29 PM
Um, Obama,
Luv ya, but time to hit the gym.
It doesn't get better after forty without exercise.
rini | 01.08.07 07:31 PM
Obamamania has reached its peak: it jumped the shark because the orginal premise was to show just how presidential Barack Obama is. And showing him in his swimsuit is about as far from presidential as you can get.
As Daave said, "And this is relevant to his position as a US Senator how??
I'm not dying to see any political figure in their swim gear. If I do, I'm not sharing that with anyone.
Corinne | 01.08.07 07:33 PM
Just goes to show that you never know what a person looks like in clothing. hears a guy with cloths on looks skinny as a rail.
DARRYL | 01.08.07 07:33 PM
This is important because women usually vote for the person they believe is more attractive (they vote with their vaginas rather than their minds). This would definately score him more points than someone like McCain or any other republican candidate.
Rob Shreve | 01.08.07 07:45 PM
Call Pelosi's speaker office within the next 48 hours. Make it brief. Make it simple.
(202) 225-0100
Say:
Bring the troops home now.
No more funding for this war.
Do not go to war with Iran.
That's it. Your civic duty done.
Anonymous | 01.08.07 07:49 PM
And how else is he supposed to swim? In a suit? Who cares? Nice to know he is finding some time to relax.
Kris | 01.08.07 07:57 PM
Forget about Obama. Check out Hugh! WOOF!!!
Jeff | 01.08.07 07:59 PM
What you talking about? I was looking forward to seeing a shirtless pic of Hastert. In comparison I would look like a younger Arnold! LOL
dickdee | 01.08.07 07:59 PM
OK, when do we get the Main Event------------------
NEWT GINGRICH in a thong?
nikto | 01.08.07 08:25 PM
barack obama's smile makes me think that he's got another shady land deal up his sleave.
matt foley | 01.08.07 08:33 PM
I'm with Jeff: forget O'Bama... Hugh Jackman is the news on that page. woof.
duncan | 01.08.07 09:50 PM
Barack Hussein Obama did it again!
Hermie Rotea | 01.08.07 11:17 PM
Give me break. What will these sleeze balls come up with next. I am a sixty year old female and I think he looks "fine." That is from a Mom's perspective.
Marguerite Hurt | 01.09.07 12:01 PM
I'm voting for him. I know this will kill the racist Republicans and their Christian haters.
Jorge | 01.09.07 12:01 PM
I don't get the obsession with Barrack Obama... he's got no track record to base a good decision on as to whether or not he should be president of our country. He's a fast talker and he can't handle criticism, especially when remarking on his enormous ears and fake smile. He's got the perfect head for an hilarious caricature though... that's about all he's suited for.
Siren | 01.09.07 12:34 PM
If the elctions had a looks criteria, Obama would crush McCain, Guliani or who ever else the dark side put up.
overworked | 01.09.07 12:43 PM
Siren..
Are you talking about W????
zoozie | 01.09.07 02:19 PM
Obama's freakin HOT in addition to being one of the best public speakers in decades. We'd be lucky to have such a fine set of pecs in the White House. LOL
Sean Robertson | 01.10.07 10:49 AM
Washington has often been called Hollywood for ugly people so by those standards Barack Obama may be a beach bage. By noraml regular standards he seems to be about average for a guy his age. Starting to get a bit of a paunch and losing muscle tone. For the people flipping out over people commenting about his looks this picture has been plastered everywhere and generally given more positive comments then the picture probably deserves.
Brannigan73 | 01.10.07 10:59 AM
My Gosh, I searched the internet to find the picture which was creating such a stir. It's just a picture of a man swimming in a swimsuit (duhh!). It doesn't have one thing to do with his abilities as a politician, or president. The fact that he has very little political experience is a huge factor in a race for president. Someone with some powerful influence is pushing him to the forefront.
Mot | 01.10.07 01:20 PM
What, the drive by media couldn't find anything significant to defame him with so they've resorted to this??? As if he'll lose votes now?
Aren | 01.11.07 08:06 AM
First of all The Fake Smile is part of American life. He just does it very well.
Second; so what if he doesn't have experience. Look at Pres. Lincoln. This country needs someone who can
unify it again. Maybe he's the one!
chaz | 01.11.07 11:30 AM
Glad Obama got to enjoy the Aloha State like anyone else. Not a bad figure though his shorts are too long (like most men's shorts; I like 'em short. I had to buy women's, then turn up the legs, to get 'em short enough).
Never heard of Hugh Jackman but I don't follow films or showbiz. Stunning physique; he's a real knockout. Wonder if he's a "gym rat" as I am.
Obama's got a strange backgound. Wonder how his Kenyan father came to be in Hawaii; or why he grew up in Jakarta. Was his mother in the diplomatic corps?
Roger AC Williams | 01.16.07 09:25 PM
Not that it matters, but he's in good shape for a 45 year old who has a sedentary job. I prefer to judge him by his votes and ideals... no wonder I like him. Those who judge him by his swimsuit and race and name, well, let's just say they're not choosing politicians for the right reasons.
Crystal | 01.16.07 10:13 PM
Yummy!!! He's got my vote!
TNgirl | 01.20.07 11:41 PM
Calls to mind the "hunk status" of the first Irish Catholic presidential candidate in 1960. Totally irrelevant, but somehow consequential. Democracy works in strange ways.
Bob Stauf | 01.22.07 04:52 PM
Forget Obama. Forget Penelope. Check out Hugh! Yum.
Californian | 02.12.07 04:55 PM
ummmm... abs. not flab. open your eyes.
lauren | 02.14.07 01:08 PM
hey look obama is a nice guy give him a chance hilary is the one to attack

Wish it was a pair of speedos instead. Obama, you look gooooooooooood!!!
mike | 03.05.07 05:06 AM
Its a bad shot. Ive seen this shot but him standing in a better angle he is toned.
Ema Bidiwala | 06.10.07 11:45 PM
Mike! I fully agree with you whole-heartedly!!!!
lawrence | 06.17.07 12:24 PM
Mmm, Obama's hot. Too bad he's a democrat.
Chyeah! | 06.22.07 01:27 AM
yummmmmmm
give me some of that Hugh Jackman
Brittany | 06.22.07 08:19 PM
Wow. We are really that shallow that we care how a politician looks without his shirt on while vacationing with his family.
Please people, get a life and worry about the things that matter!
kiki | 07.02.07 06:43 PM
i think barack needs some tommy exercice
nyamekye | 07.19.07 06:09 AM
whoever said he needs a tummytuck.. why? why cant he be real? & whats wrong with taking his shirt off at the BEACH just because he wants to run for president?
unkown | 08.24.07 04:19 AM
Everyone (except TNgirl) needs to chill the heck out. I frankly don't see that People magazine has any greater claim to a picture of Hugh Jackman in swim trunks than one of Obama in swim trunks. They're both famous in large part because they have sex appeal oozing out of their ears. Here's a shock: Readers don't go to People for hard news! When the National Journal starts doing articles like this, then I'll worry.
Nellie | 08.29.07 04:07 PM
Must we forget Obama is just like the other countless Americans who go to the beach shirtless?
jack | 10.30.07 05:09 PM
Personally, Barack Obama is not in bad shape considering his age. I think everyone has seen worse, and I do not remember hearing anything about needing a 6 pack to be a good president. This should show us all that at the end of the day, Obama is just a regular American citizen. Just because he does not have a long resume, does not mean that he will be a bad president. I mean look at what some of the people with long resumes have done with our country, as far as Ive seen nothing good.
tayla | 12.03.07 05:28 AM
I want to marry Obama...he's SCHMOKIN'!
Yolanda | 12.12.07 10:36 AM
Obama, is my man for president, I wish he was also MY MAN!! WHAT A HUNK!!!
Lloyd | 12.26.07 09:35 PM
I think he looks great and this picture has nothing to do with his ability to run the country. JEEZZZ get a life people he looks GREAT!! and he obviously knows how to have fun
Kirah | 12.27.07 03:07 PM
Wow barack is sooo hott i hope he wins so bad!!!!!!!
Mica | 01.03.08 06:54 PM
Damn, michelle obama is one lucky person!!!
Kyra | 01.07.08 05:10 PM
so, was his family there with him or is he just by himself? i'm a little curious.

Well I think he's freakin' sexy I'd tap that!
haha Obama 08!
Glory | 01.24.08 11:38 PM
You Americans are sometimes very strange.Does it even matters how your (mayby)future president looks in shorts?
Guys focus on somethingelse.
jonas Jansson | 01.26.08 03:05 AM
Dang Obama is hardly even chubby he is pretty normal, in a good weight range. Wow so he has a very little bit of fat on his stomach, not very much at all, half of you who posted above probably wish that you had his belly. And he is pretty strong for 46. He looks in shape to me, which does NOT mean that I'll be voting for him, though he's better that Hillary.
Josh | 01.30.08 07:24 PM
I think that obama will do good for a president want do you say if he make it in to be our frist black president for the United States of American.
Jeremiah | 02.06.08 12:03 PM
Bet you'll never see a picture of W shirtless; you KNOW that dude's got hairy man-boobs. Unlike W, Obama is intelligent, sexy, and DEDICATED TO CHANGE!
OBAMA IN '08!!

Ross | 02.11.08 11:16 AM
I think Obama Looks sexy with shirt or without. The most important thing right now is that he needs to win this race, and if his tummy is going to sell him a lil publicity so be it.
Alem | 02.12.08 05:15 PM
Hey kids! Did you know that "lobbyists" and "special interests" can slip in propaganda under the facade of free advertising because "it's just my opinion to be divisive." Think about it. Barack Obama '08!
Evan Christ | 02.12.08 10:55 PM
He is a Black and Blacks don`t rule America.lol
Anis Mbeeduwo | 02.12.08 11:02 PM
I don't think Obama has jumped the Shark yet. He is still building momentum and rightly so. The man has charisma, and a good mind. His heart is as big as his smile, and just as pleasant.
For those who don't know, "Jumped the Shark" means reaching the peak of popularity. It is taken from an episode of "Happy Days" for the episode when Fonzi jumps his motorcycle of a shark. That was the peak of the show and the numbers began to decline after that.
Dug | 02.13.08 10:33 PM

wow its true the camara really does add 10 pounds to your body only this time you can see it why are the pop so mean i mean really whoever took this photo is in trouble what if he becomes president
cameron | 02.18.08 08:56 PM
How anyone could call Barack Obama an idiot is just...well, so far out there. Read up Ross, do just a little bit of real research...start with the ol' wikipedia on obama, I think you will change your mind. I know a few people here in Hawaii who went to school with him and said he was just a great guy and well known for his "smarts".
Funny how some people won't listen or take a good look at someone they object to, not even to clarify if their objections have any thread of truth... who's the idiot?
Shelly | 02.20.08 05:19 AM

Say did you notice that funny looking birthmark on his rear? Kinda looks like three Sixes doesn't it?. Hum mm. Maybe he should be referred to AS Barrack Oh bomb all.
Well it's a stretch but food for thought. He is definitely more close to Damien Thorn than John Kennedy.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Give Obama a break. Ever since he's supposedly been left off the hook from the media and has been "babied", the media has been hounding him for stupid allegations. It's all nonsense. As Americans, we should be proud of Obama who can bring change as the president instead of criticizing him. For those of you that said, "Ew, that's disgusting...go to the gym..." I bet many of you have been on vacation with your families and swam in the ocean before in a swimsuit or without a shirt. What's wrong with it? Vacation is a time to hang out with family. He's a good looking guy and there's no need to show his body like that. This is definitely overexposure of Obama and the people that took this picture should be ashamed of themselves. When was the last time anyone heard something negative about the other democratic nonminee? Both of them have their pros and cons, but this picture has nothing to do with anything. Stop picking on Obama, and don't mix up his name...I can't stand it when people do that. It's really immature. He's a great guy and this picture shouldn't even be posted at all. Stop criticizing other people, no one is perfect...take a look at yourself in the mirror before you say mean things about others. You would think people would know that by now.

This picture definitely doesn't help him to election. When Hilary is giving speech on home foreclosure; Obama is having another trip with his family. Action speaks louder that word.

Looking very good. America you should be proud. Your next president is a hunk! Hands down.

obama is not going to win. there are way too many racist white people in this country. a black man will never be president as long as good, white people are still alive.

I dont know how old this image is and thats probably something to be laughed at and not your "imaginery-flabs".I Love You,fat or otherwise, anyway.
Lily | 05.01.08 03:36 PM
Ew gross no one would want to see a shirtless Bush or Clinton.. They're wrinkly!
Obama on the other hand is pretty cute for his age and his body isn't all that bad.. With a little bit of working out I'd mostly definitly do him.. Apart from when Bill was younger Barack is the sexiest president ever.. Yep president.. Not future president but PRESIDENT..

Obama is a babe.

Reading these posts is so depressing. Apparently no one bothers to inform themselves on the things that matter in an election... like the candidates stand on political issues, their honesty and integrity, blah blah... you know all that dumb stuff. Instead we should judge a candidates eligibility to be in office by how he looks in a bathing suit.
REALLY?

So? a man in a swimsuit...and this qualifies him for WHAT? Remember the last time anyone asked boxers or briefs? Who gives a care? lets hear what KIND of "change" this person wants to make. I would like to know if he has any thoughts in his head, besides negotiate with terrorists.
