Topless Barack Obama Photos Meant to Ease Rick Warren Sting?

um, aren't there some really important other issues that need out undivided attention?
Get a life. And address the serious issues please.

Our country is falling apart. what can you do to help the leaders? why don't you all email your representatives and ask, how may I help?

Was your mouth watering like mine, Tommy?

I barfed.............

I can't help it but Obama looks gay...........

These photos have to be touched up. Obama is a skinny, lifeless runt; anyone can see he is so skinny he can hardly walk smoothly or stand up straight.

For goodness sake, we are talking about the President-Elect here!!!! If we cannot show respect, how can we expect the rest of the world to do do?? As for Rick Warren, we should all have such a resume and for the record he espouses the same fundamental beliefs that the Reverend Billy Graham has for years and has spiritually advised many world leadres and no-one "jumped" his beliefs.

Øbama is as dirty as the Governor and in the coming weeks it will come out.This idiot has fooled a lot of people.

Why are his nips covered? Can we not show male nippleage now? I thought the Right Wing Christian crazies were neutralized?

Wheeeeeeerrrrrressssss the beef?!

Time to make the donuts. I mean, now I have to reconsider my vote. Who in the H.E. double hockey sticks does he think he i?. Rubbing his six-pack in my face. It's time for a change and vanity is on the chopping block. Love bars are totally in. Time for a change. Can you say Big Mac? Talk to Bill.

Oh I know your other side O to the BAMA. Sneaking that Marloboro Red would be really good right now. Maybe a game of poker?

Hang on... Ahhh... That was a milky bong hit there Big Bambu followed by the spark of good ol' American tobacco. Miss it? I hope so. SELL OUT!

This hot shot, shootin' bastard better start fatting it up or he'll lose the egg-shaped wing of the liberal party. Why don't you just whip it out and I swear I'll gossip about it during Hanukkah. Say goodbye to the Jewish vote. Who do you think you are? How dare you go to the beach.

How is this fair to the gay community? I mean, you get Rick Warren and then shove your man humps in their faces? So uncool dude. I don't know who's advising you, but you better getter some gay, fat, gambling, Jewish, drug user on your cabinet yesterday.

Govna Arnold is dying for Obama to do some squats!

Beef up Obama! Arnold thinks your body is weak just like your policies!!!

AARRGGHHH!!! GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!! ARRGGHHH!!!

DO IT NOW!!!

The Terminator has got a better body.

Obama's got pretty Chee-Chee's. Charro says he needs to Koochie koochie some more

Nothing but a fiendish plot by libs to get conservatives sick, and off this site! Whats next, Deepak Chopra?

Dora, Barney Fife has a better body! Six pack? More like wine coolers!!

While I agree Rick Warren is a "douchebag" and is really no different than the old Jerry Falwell/Pat Robertson kind of gay hating (just a younger and more charasmatic version)let's get some perspective. It is just a silly prayer. At the end of the day, can anyone name who gave the invocation at the last few inaugurations? Warren is not being named as a member of Obama's cabinet.
As to taking the gay vote for granted, sure the Democrats do. Just as Republicans take the holy roller vote for granted. That is what politicians do. Yet Obama has shown he is inclusive as he can possibly be, given that the country (overall) still leans moderate to right. He has expressed his support of gays and lesbians in a forthright manner. I don't even remember Bill Clinton doing that. That is progress.

I think too many people are making a mountain out of a mole hill here. The "douchebag" is making a single frakkin couple minute sound byte. He has not been hired on a spiritual advisor, nor is he going to be a part of Obama's cabinet. Obama tossed the homophobic wingnuts a bone, quite unlike Bush at his first innauguration where he proudly announced the USA as a Christian nation, where any from other religions are basically just guests living at the discretion of the Jesus Freaks.

IMO, Obama's message here is clear: "You may be a homophobic religious wingnut, but you still are a citizen." Inclusion was a key point of his entire campaign.

As for his stance on gay marriage, I think again he has gone for the soft sell to appease wingnuts from all sides.

A lot of people have a mixed up notion that allowing gay marriage means that their "Geeeeeeeesus lovin gay bashing church has to let fags prance down their isles." Somehow gay marriage will negate the First Amendment, forcing Rick Warren to pronounce Chuck and Larry "man and . . . . spouse".

Enter Civil Unions, which we already have.

Every married couple also has a civil union. That part is covered when you go to the county courthouse, get a license, pay your 25 bucks, take it to your preacherman to sign (he has to register with the county to be an authorized signer), and he sends it in. The marriage part has no real legal weight without the civil union.

So . . . in effect the "I oppose gay marriage but support civil unions" says "you guys will have all of the perks and power the straights enjoy, but I have to keep the more idiotic of the homophobes from barricading themselves in their churches thinking you are going to redecorate."

It is a game of semantics . . . period.

Gays . . . you'll get your wedded bliss.

Homophobes . . . you got a bone.

Rick Warren . . . say your God bless America, then crawl back into the hole you came from in a purpose driven way. That's all yer gonna git.

People . . . relax. It will be okay.

My panties just spontaneously combusted looking at that pic.

Do they make flame retardant underware? It is going to be a long 8 years.

I think this whole Rick Warren flap is silly. (As is this whole "topless" silliness).

For the last 2 years, Obama has promised that he would "step a across the isle" and work with people he disagreed with. It was a major point of his campaign and philosophy for healing this nation.

Now, whenever, he talks to Democrats, people complain "He broke his promise". But when he talks to Republicans others complain "He is supporting the enemy".

Please people. Take the man at his word. Let him "step across the isle" (and step back again) just like he promised to do.

For all of Rick Warren's faults (and they are many), he has tried to be inclusive even of people whom he disagrees with. And people like Warren (and there are many of them) are Americans also.

I say good for President-elect Obama for keeping his word and trying to include everyone in his vision for a better America.
