Barack answering another bafflingly stupid question from our elite Media.

[JI7]

1. what a waste of time

the media whore must have been one of those that attended the McCain bbq .

and they are doing this to distract from the fact that mccain is 85 years old and senile.

[KSinTX]

6. God! I thought I was the only one who's remembered that BBQ

and its significance on reporting (or lack thereof). It has to be said over and over and over until it becomes an auto-response to why we hear such drivel as in the above clip.

13. She should have just asked him about the "FLAG PIN" again and get it over with.

[quantass]

2. The Bowling "37" TRUTH revealed -- The Media LIED...again!!

[TheDonkey]

4. I like how he called them out

he wasn't trying to be mean but he was actually very serious haha.

[TheDonkey]

3. Obama's lookin mighty sexy in that video if I may remark!

and he answered that bizzaro question very well. That woman who asked it should be ashamed. "Are you too GQ and is that turning voters off because they think you are an elitist?" wtf? Looking nice is now somehow elitist????

[JTFrog]

5. Code for uppity and we all know it. n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

8. Correction, my friend...

It's code for "uppity NEGRO"!! How dare he be smart and look so good! He's an elitist!!:wtf:

[JTFrog]

9. Spot on.

Welcome to DU.

:hi:

[tavalon]

15. Wow, we were of the same mind in this moment

I was thinking that she would have rather have said, do you think your being an uppity nigger (sorry, I hate the word but I do think it is what was being implied) is going to be a problem for you? What a stupid jackass she is. I'm glad she's still local - one less moran to deal with on the national level.

[zanne]

10. When he smiled, I thought...

"God, he's gorgeous". nt

[tavalon]

16. You know, my respect for that man is growing by leaps and bounds,

but he just doesn't look attractive to me, but I think it's just the ears. And the thing is, it's not the ears that particularly interest me, it's what's between those ears. That man has a magnificent mind.

[mac2]

11. They have to look "Presidential"

But why is Obama handsome and Edwards "boyish looks" bad?

Seems the media choses the words and the candidates.

[Window]

21. IMO, he looks good enough to eat.

:rofl:

[Dammit Ann]

7. Yep. And makes too much sense.

Apparently.

[iamthebandfanman]

12. only more proof of our mindless

materialist culture.

what a sad society we have become. so diluted.

[tavalon]

14. I had big reservations, hell, almost insurmountable doubts, but

this is the man who should be our next President. I was wrong, plain and simple. I do wonder how long he's going to choose to suffer these fools. When they ask an inane question like that, they have no interest in the answer, they just want to see him stumble. But, hey, with the exception of Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann and a handful of others, there is a reason we call them the presstitutes.

[jennied]

17. Maybe these women aren't used to a fine lookin man like him...

That is also black. Intelligent. Well spoken. Obama could wear a pair of jeans and an old flannel shirt and she'd still look GQ, the lumberjack addition.

[butterfly77]

19. I know what you mean...

when he was on vacation and came out to talk to the media in casual slacks and shirt I had to say, that man is FINE!

[frickaline]

18. If our media loses any more brain cells we'll have to pull their driver's licenses

They should start wearing helmets ... they cant afford a single head bruise.

[silverweb]

20. Handled gracefully, as always.

He revealed the inanity of the question without insinuating that the questioner was stupid.

The teasing way he described his wardrobe and shopping habits, invoking Michelle requiring him to "clean up," was perfect.

His gentle humor and ribbing of the media regarding the bowling score were perfect.

The quick summary of his unusual but very non-elite background was perfect.

The smooth transition from the silly original question to his purpose and future goals as President was perfect.


GObama! GObama!
:loveya:

[Cha]

22. Obama made lemonade

outta that whiny question. He took it and turned it around to discuss the details of his running and straighten out the whole bowling thing.B-)

[nebula]

23. He didn't need to dignify that moronic question with an answer

don't encourage the tabloid 'journalism.'

[ghostsofgiants]

24. I'm impressed that he was able to answer that question without starting it with....

"You've got to be fucking kidding me."
