Is Obama not the best looking President we've had in decades?

[Hugabear]

[madaboutharry]

1. Yep, he's cute.

[JI7]

2. best looking ever

[napi21]

3. YES he is! And before many think I'm some black American adsmiring my

first Black President, you're wrong! I'm an old white lady (68 years old) and not that you'd be surprised, I think the best looking President we had before Barack was JFK!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

4. You go, girl!! He is fine. :)

[FrenchieCat]

6. I'm African American.......

and dammit, I will admire my first black President.
After hundreds of years, that's something no one is
gonna take away from me! So you are in good company---
no, Great Company!

[Greybnk48]

15. He's going to be a tough act to follow

for the next black President! I feel sorry for whomever he or she is because Pres. Obama has set the bar very high.

[FrenchieCat]

19. He's like the Jackie Robinson of Presidential politics.....

that why so many expect so much from this one man....

But just think, if he had been trice married under circumstances like that Newt,
you think he would have won any states in the Primaries????

So he's going to be a tough act to follow for the next President, whatever that person's
color! Hopefully, it will be a woman! Hillary was looking mighty beautiful tonight...
I will add that!

[Greybnk48]

17. 63 white lady here and I keep comparing him to JFK too.

And Michelle to Jackie.

[Honeycombe8]

5. Probably. Maybe it's because he's one of the youngest, tho. nt

[laruemtt]

7. from this 59-year-old white chick,

he's some nice eye candy. and when he did his Al Green rendition the other night, i gotta admit my heart jumped a little.....

[kaitcat]

10. 48-year-old white chick here.

And I positively melted at Obama's crooning of teh Al Green.

[lonestarnot]

13. There is a ring tone at the presidential website if you care to download. Rachel talked about it.

[annabanana]

50. oh! linklinklinklink

pleeeze?

[lonestarnot]

56. :) Here you go!

[demtenjeep]

16. 45 year old whitey and yup I agree

Michelle is one lucky woman

[Vanje]

8. Yes

There. I said something positive about President Obama.

[FrenchieCat]

9. Bohner really is too dark for his heritage.....

me thinks!

[alittlelark]

14. +1

He's looking 4-5 shades darker than Obama in the pic.

[politicasista]

11. He is

not only the best looking ever but one with a smooth singing voice.

[Greybnk48]

12. He reminds me of Kennedy

and Michelle is today's version of Jackie. I love this family.

[Number23]

18. This thread probably has some folks climbing the walls here

Which is exactly why I'm going to rec the beejeesus out of it.

I know something this banal (and I don't mean that in a bad way at all) would never get as many recs as some of the non-stop mindless whining around here, but it would sure make me happy if it came close.

Come to think of it, I'm rec #14 and that's better than alot of the bashing has done around here lately. DU is turning a very obvious corner now. It's about damn time.

Edit: LOL!! In the 9 seconds it took me to type this, it got two more recs. I'm actually rec #16 not 14!

[FrenchieCat]

20. He's a good looking Brother with swager and game.....

folks have to give him those props, no matter what else they might hate.

In church the other day, our pastor (a woman) preached about the haters.....
and in the end she said, they will take care of themselves, so that we don't have to!

[Electric Monk]

22. You're either with us or agin us? I feel like I've heard that somewhere else recently... nt

[FrenchieCat]

24. Whatever......

I'm fear mongering! Be very afraid!

[Number23]

27. "You're either with us or agin us?" Who said that? Besides YOU, that is?

[Electric Monk]

30. You only started paying attention in 2008 when you registered here?

[Number23]

31. It is 25 January 2012

No one in this thread said anything about "with us or agin' us" EXCEPT YOU. Want to try again or are you still stupefied?

[Electric Monk]

33. Your ignorance is forgiven, this time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You're_either_with_us,_or_against_us

referencing FrenchieCat posting "In church the other day, our pastor (a woman) preached about the haters.....
and in the end she said, they will take care of themselves, so that we don't have to!"

Italics added for emphasis.


Whad'ya mean I can have either Coke or Pepsi? What if I don't want Cola?

[Number23]

35. Thanks for making it abundantly clear that you have no idea what Frenchie was talking about

and that you apparently have no idea what YOU are talking about either. Lord knows that makes two of us, probably three including Frenchie...

[Electric Monk]

36. I'll elaborate some for you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manichaeism#Figurative_use

Zbigniew Brzezinski used the phrase "Manichaean paranoia" in reference to U.S. President George W. Bush's world view (in the The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, March 14, 2007); Brzesinski elaborated that he meant "the notion that he (Bush) is leading the forces of good against the empire of evil".

Calling everyone who disagrees with a policy position, or two, or three, "haters" is just another example of this mode of thought.

[emulatorloo]

38. What a bizarre thread hi-jack.

[HipChick]

25. FrenchieCat..I''ll raise you on that +1000

[HipChick]

21. He's HAWT!

and an inspiration to me to never give up...

[DesertRat]

23. And he can really sing too

http://assets.bostatic.com/frontend/projects/ringtones/president-obama-lets-stay-together-ringtone.mp3

[Auntie Bush]

26. He's the best! I think that every time I see him.

He's a cool dude with great pipes too...not to mention that smile.

[Ter]

28. Probably as president, but...

Reagan was very good-looking at age 50.

[JitterbugPerfume]

29. I think he is gorgeous--ears and all

he is charming , smart and funny.Heck--he can even sing like Al Green . What's not to love?

[JDPriestly]

32. Yes. Since JFK. Most definitely.

On edit: Although, I have to clarify, JFK was the cutest. Obama is downright handsome.

[RebelOne]

49. No, have to disagree. JFK was handsome. Obama is cute.

But Michelle is much prettier than Jackie.

[JDPriestly]

64. It's a matter of opinion as to JFK and Obama, but Michelle is much warmer in her spirit than

Jackie was. Strange, but there was always something very insecure about Jackie. She always seemed a bit shy and frightened. Michelle is naturally more relaxed.

[Tx4obama]

34. Yes, he is.

[BlueIris]

37. He really is super cute.

That must kill the GOP sometimes.

[donheld]

39. Add to that the best looking first lady too.

[bigwillq]

40. He's ok.

I think his personality and sense of humor make him sexier than his looks. I really don't think he's that attractive physically, but looks are not always the most important quality.

[Number23]

42. I agree 100%

He's not bad looking at all. But he's a bit skinny and those EARS!

But it's his personality and obvious intelligence that make him more attractive. I'd rather have an "aight" looking man that was smart and made me laugh than a drop dead gorgeous man with the personality of a light bulb any day.

[bhikkhu]

41. My vote for Best First Family:

...and I don't mean that in a superficial way - just good people, and rare character. Whatever the future brings, we are fortunate and a better country to have had them in the White House.

[AtomicKitten]

43. I definitely think so.

Although if he had lived and fulfilled his political legacy, I think JFK Jr would give him a run for his money. He certainly made my heart skip a beat.

[serle]

66. Oh Yeah!

JFK Jr was hot, a movie star, Jackie O's legacy. Very Attractive! Daryl Hannah seems miserable now, but in her prime, she had JFK Jr & Jackson Browne. Lucky Daryl!

[CakeGrrl]

44. Quite!

(poking the "Cult of Personality/Cheerleader/Obama Fangirl" bear)

[scardycat]

45. He is cool! nt

[Logical]

46. LOL, why in the hell does that matter? Was carter ugly? Debate?

[Number23]

47. not bad, DU!

Not bad at all.

[MattBaggins]

48. What does that have to with the price of beans

[gkhouston]

51. LOL, talk about damning with faint praise! n/t

[qanda]

52. Not only is he fine, but he can also sing!

Lord, where was I before he met Michelle? LOL J/K I'm very happy with my very good-looking husband. He calls Michelle beautiful so we're even.

[CTyankee]

53. Yes, yes and yes....

[Raine]

54. He's OK but I found Clinton lots HOTTER, especially during his first term

I still find Clinton HOT, I LOVE me some Bill!

[Little Star]

55. Me too! Bill Clinton's looks ring my bell...

and I love his voice.

But I think President Obama is pleasing to the eye as well as was JFK.

I can't think of one R president that I thought was handsome.

[trueblue2007]

59. oh gees..... i just agreed with you. EXCEPT PRES OBAMA IS JUST GORGEOUS

LOVE HIM IN THE SINGING VIDEO.....

you know the one he did the other day. Big sigh

&feature=g-hist&context=G2a5a8daAHTx71ygAOAA

[trueblue2007]

57. no...... BILL CLINTON IS VERY GOOD LOOKING

saw him in person and shook his hand in 96 or 97 cuz he was there in my state looking at the floods etc.

bill clintion is great looking.

love him

[serle]

68. J'agree

Yes Bill C is very attractive; he's got that sweet Southern guy charm that gets the Ladies! But I think Bill's charisma, keen intellect, and charm make him even more appealing. Bill's up there w/JFK. B Obama is also; he's sophisticated. Dems IMHO are more attractive; I think it's because they tend to be younger & charismatic, smart.

[moodforaday]

58. This is really important.

It will make all the people in Iran he's planning to kill feel much better about it. As well as the people in Afghanistan and Pakistan who are being killed on his orders right now. Really, when it comes to murder, class is all.

[Toucano]

60. He's okay, but Justin Bieber is WAAAY cuter!

For the love of God!

[Beacool]

61. No

Kennedy and Clinton were good looking too.

[HipChick]

62. he's the only president I've kept a pic of in my house

of course....it was autographed..he's a fine looking man

[akbacchus_BC]

63. Is good looking the new criteria for an

effective President?

These cute threads are not helping the President. If you wish to idol him, go to Obama Diary!

[loyalsister]

65. Definitely

It's not just basic attractiveness, but the way he carries himself. He manages to be elegant, relaxed, and accessible all at the same time.

[serle]

67. He's very elegant

I like Obama. He's classic, urbane, he's very intelligent, he's private. I'm sure women try to go after him, but I think this President really loves his wife!

[rury]

69. Yes!! President Obama is the handsomest, coolest

Sexiest, most elegant president we have ever had!!
I just came across this thread.
Obama is HOT!!
