BARACK OBAMA DOES ‘GQ’

Showing off his pearly whites, Sen. Barack Obama makes history as the first politician to appear on the upcoming cover of GQ magazine since Bill Clinton and Al Gore appeared on the men’s magazine cover nearly fifteen years ago.
Looks good, but we won’t be happy until we see our girl Hilary Clinton gracing the cover of Vogue!

PLEASE let’s all of us vote for at least a democrat.
August 14th, 2007 at 11:30 am
Well seeing as he won’t be pres it’s nice that this can be a milestone for him… God knows I was rooting for him (albeit, skeptically), but lately he has been screwing himself with what has been coming out of his mouth. His inexperience is showing. That being said, Hilary in 08!!

Not a very good photo of him, it looks like it was shot too close up and is distorted. You’d think GQ could do better.
Giant head!!

Barack does not have the experience to be President. Hillary all the way!!!!!!!

Man, if only Bush would get some head.. maybe our foreign policy wouldn’t be in the shit hole!!! LOL.. ANYONE BUT BUSH ‘08

Hey, WHEN Hilary becomes president.. would that make Bill the “First Man”??? That sounds kinda funny doesn’t it.. they should just call him “The Man” lol.. loves me some bubba!!!

LOVE the clintons.

Duh Coco.. MD is a Demo STATE HOLLA!

BAAAAAD photo angle for Obama…and the pity of it is that we all know a Democrat will win the next election, simply due to Republican backlash–which means that the winner won’t know if they were elected because voters thought them the best candidate for the job…or if they were just the Democratic candidate. Okay, I know, that probably isn’t a self-doubt that many would indulge in…but for someone like me, it would be a crushing thought. “Winner by default” isn’t a very nice ribbon to hang on your wal.

…And I didn’t mean it will be a pity that a Democrat is ELECTED, I meant that it’s a pity that they won’t know if they were really the better candidate. Oi. Gotta THINK before I type next time. 8|

Yeah, it’s like they shot his head through a fish-eye lens. Not so flattering!
August 14th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
karafarrah.. I see what your saying.. but it’s a lot better than knowing you won two elections by “technicalities”.. The blessing of the mockery the Bush administration has made of american politics is that we are FINALLY in a position in history where a woman or black man feel confident in running for office. So any lagging Bush supporters should realize if they HATE the idea of woman (let alone Hillary) becoming president, they have no further to look then their fearless leader.. POETIC JUSTICE if you ask me.

he looks like a caricature…nice pic!
August 14th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
I hate to say it, but the Democrats sign their Death Decree if they nominate Hilary or Obama. Although WE would vote for either one of them, most of America just IS NOT READY for a Man of Color, or a Woman to be President.
August 14th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Not a good pic. As much as people were rooting for him to win, it ain’t gonna happen. Hillary will win the democratic nomination hands-down and hopefully the presidency. Everyone knows (republicans included) that Bill would win again in a heartbeat if he could run. At this point, anyone but that dumbass Bush and we’ll be better off.
August 14th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
PSL.. IF there was EVER a time when ANY democrat could win.. It would be after this sorry administration.. HANDS DOWN! People are ready for anyone who is not affiliated with Bush… opening their minds to things we never thought would happen in our life time.
August 14th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Hillary / Obama ‘08 YEAH!!!
August 14th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
I hope you’re right only1…..like i previously said, WE are all on the page, but Middle America is not……..
August 14th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
if only middle america were as focused on race and sex issues as you parissucks! wow, then we could think about it all day every day until it was all we knew. geez, then the whole indoctrinated country could be against martin luther king jr’s dream that his children will be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
must be nice to be sooooo sophisticated…darn middle american hicks, intolerants, bigots and homophobes…holding us back! besmerching our name! you love middle america and the middle-class folks who the repubs allegedly smash and abuse, but then again, you kinda don’t really like them so much. they’re all so prejudiced and small minded…hmm, any other stereotypes i could cast unto them
about how prejudiced THEY ALL are?
look, this man or that woman will be elected specifically because of their race and america’s brainwashed, race focused masses who were raised on generations of guilt, self hate, and mandated pseudo egaltarian legislation like affirmative action. (which is now backfiring in spite of it’s noble intentions) not the other way around. cute backhand though, senorita parissucks.
hillary and obama are unbeatable together by sheer demographics alone, votes from all those evil white men are just icing on the cake.
b. hussein obomba wants to hit pakistan unilaterally too folks!
and he belongs to a racist, seperatist church.
those things only bug if you’re a righty i guess.
August 14th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Wow, someone needs to take a typing class.
August 14th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Engligh too…
August 14th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
I think that there’ll be a woman before there is a black american president but Obama has my vote (if I was an american!), he looks fierce! Work that tooth whitening!
August 14th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
I have seen him talk on television and I never realized his head was that forehead/heavy. It looks almost like a triangle.
August 15th, 2007 at 6:31 am
sigh…everyone sees a woman and a black man and assume they are what’s best for our country. we certainly are in turmoil but neither one of them is what we need. like someone mentioned barack wants to hit pakistan and hillary is for the iraq war. has anyone heard about OTHER candidates??? dennis kucinich??? ron paul??? look them up, folks. do some reading. hillary touts what lobbyists pay her to! I don’t want to preach but it’s sad that people are so narrow-minded. there are much better candidates out there but because they DON’T HAVE MILLIONS OF CAMPAIGN DOLLARS may not even be considered.
August 15th, 2007 at 6:48 am
^^You are certainly correct about others not being considered b/c they can’t keep up financially. Unless we overthrow the government and reorganize it (which we all know would be next to impossible today though our founding fathers designed our constitution to allow us to do so), the unfortunate reality is that this is America, Land of the Rich and Home of the ever shrinking Middle Class and the increasingly BROKE). It’s called Capitalism.. the very thing that has made us great, will destroy us b/c we are primarily exposed to Big Money and Big Cooperation ideas (for the most part). Those with the money have the power.. and so.. since it’s obvious this practice is not changing any time soon.. it is inevitable we will not necessarily choose the BEST person for the job.. but certainly they can’t be the worst.. we already have had that for 7 years.
