PHOTOS Food, Glorious Food
Edited on Sun Dec-07-08 08:07 PM by Jackeens_for_Obama
I know it's rude to photograph people when they're eating, so I only used nice ones :-) .... I know there have been other foodie pic threads, but hey - you can never have enough! ..... What's Colin Powell doing in the first pic? :shrug:

2. How in the world does he stay so thin
eating all those sweets and carbs? I think I gained a pound or two just looking at the pictures!

11. He's got to be like my husband.
Tall and thin as a rail. To be fair, my husband cycles daily, but he's always been relatively thin even when he didn't exercise. And they've both apparently got a sweet tooth.
Mmmm, Dunkin' Donuts. *drool*

8. Imo, the best time to take a photo of someone
is with glorious food and these are scrumptious, Jackeens!

There were a couple of shots during the primaries of Obama eating a hot dog and another getting ready to chow down a slice that are priceless! Some thought they weren't attractive enough or something but I love them.

This isn't the Pizza Pic from the campaign trail but close..


"The owners of the pizzeria that makes Barack Obama's favorite pies are heading to Washington, NBC 5's Anthony Ponce reports.

Italian Fiesta Pizza in Hyde Park is taking its spicy-sauced, thin crust pizza to D.C. for an event previewing the food at the inauguration:"

10. Barack loves pie, Joe loves his ice cream, I love both together
Wow, I just gained 5 pounds looking at these pics. And now I am really hungry at 10:40 at night.

14. Wonderful Pictures
Although it looks like Obama needs a lower-fat diet to make sure his cholesterol stays low.

20. I love the "VOTE FOR ME" tag he's wearing in #21
And his expression in #1/#2 is cute.

Thanks again - these threads always include some pix I haven't seen or new angles of pix I have seen!

22. OK, so apparently I'm a weirdo, but
I love that fifth photo, of him walking with boxes, wearing shorts. I mean, normally I look at Obama and think he's a nice looking man, but he's not someone I think, "Yowza! What a hottie!" But if the guy in that shot walked by me at a park, I'd seriously be checking him out behind my Ray-Bans. I feel like one of the KOEBs (except I guess I'm a charter member of DU's BHOEB).


Does that make me a bad person? :shrug:

26. OMG! How the HELL does the guy
Manage to stay so skinny? If I chugged down ice cream and pie like that, you'd need a crane to lift me. It's not as if he has a whole lot of spare hours in the day to work out.

I do like a man who enjoys his food, though. It shows a real zest for life.

28. I wish he would stop smoking for good, eat healthier foods and use a head set instead of
keep the cell phone on his ear all the time. Joe as well.

30. Thanks! They're great, but can't help feeling you missed the best one ...


President-elect Obama and family volunteering at a Chicago foodbank the day before Thanksgiving this year.

34. How the hell that dude stays so skinny
is beyond me! :rofl:

It's also nice to see either our future President or Vice President enjoying a glass of WINE, and not have to worry that they are falling off the wagon drinking it!

No need to fear the pretzels. :hi:

35. This one just cracks me up:
You can just see the Homer Simpsonish thought bubble above his head: "Mmmmm ... Piiiiiie."


Sheesh -- not much healthy fare on the campaign trail, I guess. Well, he is holding an apple in one of the photos.

36. My gods! You have the TRUE groping scandal here!!!
This clearly shows our president elect groping Valerie Jarrett.





And look at her expression in a second photograph taken moments later. Could she look any more offended?






Between this and the Fathead, I would say we are seeing a dangerous trend in the Obama administration. I am outraged. Outraged I tell you.

38. Well done as usual Jackeens, but I have to say my faves
are the ones of the Obamas and the Bidens seated around that table in the diner.

What a soothing and calming tableau after the hell we've lived through the last 8 years.
