[babylonsister]

3. Do you know what's funny?

I'm always battling myself about this. Sometimes I think Obama is very handsome, then I think of the 'skinny kid with big ears' quote he self-attributed. Then, I listen to him, and I think he's gorgeous!

[H2O Man]

10. He's both.

And he's a boxing fan.

[David Zephyr]

14. "Because the greatest love of all is easy to acheive..."

Great photo of two heroes. Thanks.

[KoKo]

38. He is indeed, turning out to be a "Man for all Seasons."

And, I do understand the truth of that ....

[dmr]

25. Know what you mean. His brain and his heart get me too

:loveya:

[goclark]

32. Love that hat and love the way he walks and talks

He is comfortable in his own skin and it shows.

[KoKo]

36. He is indeed.... a lovely "hunk of a man" isn't he........

All the "bells and whistles."

[NightWatcher]

4. he's got "cool" down to a science

[David Zephyr]

[Tarheel_Dem]

[bunkerbuster1]

9. Aww...

[NightWatcher]

12. this one makes me tear up when I think about it

That kid might see Obama as President and think that he can do something with his life and not end up in prison like an overwhelming percentage of black men in America. Who knows, that young man might be President too.

[Tarheel_Dem]

15. I love that, and I agree with you that this image will live with this child his

whole life.....

[lastliberalintexas]

[David Zephyr]

43. Shhhh....it's a secret.

No one else knows.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. Meh. I'm not much on cowboy hats

I know it's funny considering where I live.

I do like this one though.

[Bensthename]

19. I loved the movie Blazing Saddles.

[H2O Man]

20. I loved the movie Heidi.

[izzybeans]

28. .

:rofl:

[KoKo]

31. That was an incredible movie about an Old Man bonding with his young Grandaughter without Pedophilia

I loved the book...had many "older men in my life" who gave me great advice and books to read and helped me get on with my life with their "wisdom of elders."

I feel sad that there's so much out there these days about "older men seducing and sullying their relatives and others." There are very many older men...who are kind and nurturing and care so much about their grandchildren that the "bad apples so prevalent in our Media" kind of take away from the folks that for many of us were INSPIRATIONS and gave meaning and hope and continuity to our lives...as little ones.

I hope that we don't put all "Elders" in some kind of pedophile manipulative mode...and keep our little kids away from "oldies" because of fear of them...as dirty "old men and perverted women."

It would be sad if our culture cut off those who want to share...and have wisdom to impart to the very youngest. I profited from it....they were good to me...and NOT ONE..EVER...EVER...tried to "violate" my person/Me..... :shrug: Just throwing this out to think about.

BTW: ...this is the "Heidi Movie" I'm familiar with after I read the book. It was played over and over on Tee Vee in the 50's and 60's and most folks have seen it.. It's not as accurate a presentation as Spryi's novel...but it was for little folks watching who hadn't read the book...a comforting view.

40. um.....

:wtf:

[bicentennial_baby]

42. ...

[bbinacan]

34. OMG

I was thinking the same thing.:rofl:

[cliffordu]

21. Difference between you and me??

I make this look good..... :patriot:

[Cha]

23. That he is, mate..

[undeterred]

24. He's not gorgeous but he is appealing

and there is something vulnerable about him that I think makes him easy to like.

I can't imagine people not liking him unless they are projecting their own 'stuff' onto him. And while I could identify with what he said about his grandmother feeling some fear toward black men (and I've felt that on occasions) there is something very non-threatening about Obama, like you'd expect him to be that doctor or teacher or pastor that you could really trust.

[lastliberalintexas]

29. Wow, his grandmother said that?

That's incredibly sad on so many levels.

[BlooInBloo]

30. It's standard, it's not the exception.

[undeterred]

37. yes he said it in the speech about his pastor

I think for whites raised in an isolated suburban or rural area most of the women feel this way- I can't say exactly how its transmitted. My family moved out of Chicago to the all-white suburbs when I was 5 so even if nothing was ever said, the move is a statement. I lived in an integrated neighborhood in Chicago for 20 years as an adult, so my reaction is no longer the same. It took some conscious effort. Now I have to get used to white rednecks in Wisconsin. :shrug:

Growing up biracial in a white family, and marrying a black woman, Obama has an exceptional awareness of all these issues... and I think his exceptional honesty about it is more than most people are ready for.

[KoKo]

26. "Brokeback Mountain" was a Great Movie....I can see Obama as a hero in that one...

It was incredible.

[TexasLady]

33. There once was a man named Barack

There once was a man named Barack
Who was against that dumb war in Iraq.
He huddled the masses,
and kicked all their asses,
And Republicans, now they can't walk.
:D

[Dr Fate]

35. I'm looking forward to having a POPULAR president again as well. n/t

[KoKo]

39. It will be good for All America....n/t

[blonndee]

44. His looks definitely aren't hurting him, that's for sure.

The Lust Factor? Wait for it from the Hillary campaign. :)
