Barack Obama: "I Make This Look Good" (((PICS)))

[blogslut]

"You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good." - Jay from Men in Black

[zanne]

1. He sure does.

The only man who manages to look incredibly cool in a suit and tie.

[Renew Deal]

2. The families of these soldiers must get a kick out of seeing their loved ones.

It's a good thing.

[democrattotheend]

3. Can you please change the title?

Sorry, but I thought Obama actually said that, which would have been pretty arrogant. Great pics, but I think you may have unintentionally played into the GOP "Obama is arrogant" meme (as if anyone who has the audacity to run for president is not arrogant).

[blogslut]

4. Sorry, no

I like the title. I'm kind of proud of it. :)

[VolcanoJen]

11. Your title is awesome.

There's not a damned thing wrong with being cool, and making things look good. The nutters over at Michelle Malkin can cry all night about it, if they want to. ;-)

[Lugnut]

14. I like it.

Different strokes for different folks.

[babylonsister]

15. ROFL! I love it! nt

[ellacott]

23. Great Title and a little ironic

Will Smith has said that he would like to play Obama on the screen. They have similar physiques and they both have big ears.


Obama does make that look good and Will would do him justice if he portrayed him in a film. :)

[Olney Blue]

39. Will Smith would be great playing Obama!

[Coexist]

27. I like it too.

and yes, he does.

[Cha]

32. Yeah, it's good..I don't

really care what they think.

[hootinholler]

17. When I read it, I was afraid he was wearing a jumpsuit!

:whew:

-Hoot

[Overseas]

24. That's how I felt also. And you put the comment in quotes and after a colon.

My first thought was-- "I sure hope Obama didn't say that." Then I was relieved but sad to see that indeed Obama didn't say that. It was a line from a great movie. But why would the writer put those words in quotes after Obama's name in the headline as though he had said them.

The writer just put those words in his mouth. Why would they do that? Why would they want to make him sound arrogant? Why on earth couldn't they say HE MAKES IT LOOK GOOD ?

[blogslut]

25. meh

Sorry. I still like it.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

31. It's a reference to Men In Black.

Will Smith's character says it.

[Overseas]

51. Gee, you mean like it says in the body of the message?

[Goblinmonger]

47. You didn't know it was a Will Smith line?

You need to get out more.

[Overseas]

52. Saw the movie long ago. Didn't memorize the lines. Why not just have the quote without "Obama:"

You want me to watch movies more than once or twice. I want you to study grammar.
Famous people can quote from movies and it still means-- Barack Obama says (as Will Smith said in Men in Black)QUOTE I make this look good. END QUOTE.

Even if it is a movie quote, you made it look like Barack Obama quoted the movie about himself.

[Goblinmonger]

53. What if it was a line from

a Wordsworth poem? Would you make the same claim?

And I teach HS English, so I'll take you on in grammar any time :evilgrin:

[Overseas]

55. Of course I would. Overseas: "I'm King of the World."

At minimum it means, Overseas quoted that awful movie Titanic.
Further it means, Overseas sounds arrogant.

But I'd better stop replying because by responding like this I'm keeping a topic going that I don't like.

[Avalux]

5. Fantastic photos. A glimpse of what Obama will look like as President.

To Americans and the rest of the world, Obama's trip and the photos of it are heavily symbolic. McCain only wishes he can top it.

I didn't even mention he got Maliki to agree to troops out in 2010! :woohoo:

[formercia]

6. Notice, no 30 pound flak vest or 3 layers deep of Blackwater

to absorb incoming rounds.

[LSK]

19. actually Im pretty sure the Iraqis want him to win so we get out of there

So I don't think there is much incentive to attack him from their standpoint.

[Hope And Change]

7. K & R!

[otohara]

8. Smiling Faces

maybe I haven't looked closely at when McCain and other supporters of this never ending occupation go there, but the pics I've seen of leaders & other mucky mucks are smiling - even Ryan Crocker.

Here's more pics at Yahoo.com http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Iraq-July-9-2008-file-photo-US-Army-soldiers-Charlie-Battery/ss/events/iraq/082701iraqplane/s:/nm/20080721/pl_nm/iraq_dc/im:/080721/481/9010eecc0c684cff879247a894960561/;_ylt=Ah8DA1v.nk4oPzth5QXC6lEb.3QA#photoViewer=/080721/photos_wl_afp/4f6c222d35fa8aa7f8ab1b91364304f4

[blogslut]

12. Thanks! An excuse to post MOAR PICS!

[n2doc]

9. "I don't need no stinkin' codpiece" n/t

[VolcanoJen]

10. Presidential. And Cool.

:thumbsup:

[Arkana]

13. He has an innate ability to never take a bad photo.

A good, if superficial, quality in a President.

[rox63]

50. I look forward to having an attractive and intelligent president on my teevee

We've suffered for so long having to look at and listen to Chimp-Boy.

[Staph]

16. I'm totally shallow

In that first picture....rowr! What a cute butt!

:evilgrin:

[DevonRex]

48. Can I join you in the shallow club? And hey...

it's not OUR fault it's cute. :)

[dsomuah]

18. Did he leave the green zone?

It looks like he actually left the green zone, unlike McCain

[Whisp]

20. McCain will be stuck in the green with envy zone for a while.

i wish barack would make up an ad thanking McCain for suggesting the trip.

[DainBramaged]

21. The real 'J'

[Colobo]

22. President Obama, Jan 09.

[uponit7771]

26. His hieght makes him stand out....good for us.

[TheDonkey]

28. I just saw video of Obama sinking a "3" in front of the troops!!! WOW!!

Hope that clip gets some play on tv.

[TexasObserver]

29. Obama is large and in charge. That's leadership.

His reception by Iraqis and the US military are simply cratering the GOP memes on Iraq.

Our troops and the Iraqis both want Obama as president.

[Virginia Dare]

30. He's already my President...

I won't accept anything or anybody else this time.

[ejpoeta]

33. what i notice is the stark difference

like obama in sunglasses vs mccain in sunglasses. mccain looks like he's blind old man, obama looks cool. obama looks more at ease as well. it is interesting how he is without flak jacket as someone else stated.

[bleever]

34. Thanks for the pics, blogslut.

I get chills from looking at a president we can be proud of again.

[Raine]

35. He certainly does! nt

:D

[Sparkly]

36. And he does!!

How refreshing! He looks completely natural in the role. Excellent pics.

K&R

[Duder]

37. Will will wait...

"I always wanted to be the first Black president, but Barack stole my idea," said Smith, adding; "That's okay with me. Barack can go first and then I'll take my turn."

[True_Blue]

38. He'll be the best looking President EVER!

I would much rather look at Obama for 4 years than McCain. B-)

[tigereye]

40. this is good, he just looks presidential!

And he actually reads and thinks! unlike the current occupant of the White House.


:thumbsup:

[badgerpup]

41. badgerpup on body language again...

Look at the fifth pic...Obama's pose is saying "I'm listening to you. You are important and have my full attention."
The other guy's pose is very relaxed, open, comfortable and at ease.

Contrast it with so many pics of Der Chimpenfuhrer (I has teh dumb and don't know how to post pics) with other leaders...our "Special Boy" is usually either sprawled in his chair or reaching toward the other person, while the other person's body language (and facial expression) is tight, closed, and turned away from him.

Bit of a difference here, wouldn't you say?

[elvisbear]

42. Note to Hagel - Bro or Manzier?

:wow:

[DevonRex]

49. I kinda like Manzier. Just can't picture Hagel as the Bro type. nt

[salguine]

43. Are people suggestion that, in the inevitable biopic, that Will Smith will play

Barack Obama?

PRESIDENTIAL AIDE: Mr. President, it looks like the Chinese are making threatening moves toward our naval forces in the Sea of Japan.
SMITH AS OBAMA: "Aw, HELLL no!"

[CrispyQ]

44. After eight years of boosh

I am so looking forward to a president who doesn't look like a frickin' goof, a total imbecile, or a mean little prick.

Great pics! Thanks.

[crankychatter]

45. With that open neck shirt, you can see his "farmer's tan" - Is Obama a "Redneck?"

He might be

He does have Kansas roots

I like that in a person... being to busy working to lol about in the sun

[ThatsMyBarack]

46. About Obama flying in the plane:

What do you suppose he's thinking? :patriot:

I mean, when * does it, I think all he wants is a drink.

[blues90]

54. this is what you people picking a president on?

How you think he looks and drooling over photo's? Man talk about how low the mindset has sunk and american idol.

[Eurobabe]

56. Yes, he does, and the touch of gray ain't hurtin nothing either.

Crybaby McLame is regretting the day he EVER suggested that Obama travel abroad!! :rofl:

[maxsolomon]

57. ugh. pleated khakis.

michelle, please take charge & end this. he's thin - there's no excuse for not wearing flat-fronts.

[Clark2008]

58. At least he crosses his legs (for the most part).

Shrub always looked like an inconsiderate, fidgety little boy with his legs all sprawled out and showing his "junk" in the presence of European and Arabic leaders who find that HIGHLY offensive.
