5. Wow..Steve Harris does look like

Reggie but I never watch The Practice:)

[SeattleGirl]

8. Wow, they DO look very much alike!

Though when I saw the name, Reggie Love, I thought of Susan Sarandon's character in "The Client."

12. There's one SS guy I call "Mobius" - it's not Reggie 'cause Reggie's not SS but..

...there's another cool-looking dude who is often nearby...






(and "those arms" refers to the first pic you posted I think - that's what they call a physique - wow!)

[Catherina]

14. It looks like the adults are back in charge.

Mmmmm. And good looking adults too :hi:

[gateley]

6. How cool is that name???

And he looks like such a NICE guy!!

[dana_b]

7. he sounds like a good companion

but when I heard his name I couldn't help but think of "McLovin".

So Obama loves his nuts and dislikes mayonnaise- smart man, very smart!

[Triana]

9. He was a Dukie! How cool is that?

Bet Mr. Love gets a cabinet position with President Obama. VERY cool!

EDIT: This is amusing too:

"Since first interviewing with Mr. Obama's office in 2006, Mr. Love has learned that all candidates have their superstitions, and that Mr. Obama is no exception. The two play basketball every primary day for good luck."

Seems Mr. Love also helps keep Obama in shape. Heh.

And this:

As Senator Barack Obama’s body man, Reggie Love makes sure the candidate has plenty of the things he likes — and makes note of those things he would rather avoid. Here is a partial list, provided by Mr. Love.

DISLIKES

¶ Asparagus (“if no other vegetables are available, he’ll eat it”)

¶ Soft drinks (he prefers water)

[Mudoria]

19. Played for Duke..

thats strike three.

[MattNC]

21. indeed

but I'll somehow manage to look past it. GO HEELS!

[NashVegas]

20. Oh My. This Is Highly Inappropriate

Behavior with the allegedly impartial news media. In the tank, indeed.

Mr. Love is raffish, always joking with the Secret Service, offering closed-fist high-fives to members of the news media and making frequent appearances in the daily pool reports.
