Obama as a Freshman Photos - What A Cool F***ing Dude

Lisa Jack is to thank for these cool photos of Obama as a college freshman…  An aspiring photographer, Lisa took this photos after meeting Obama at Occidental:

Jack appreciated Obama when she ran into him that summer in a Honolulu nightclub—he a local, she a visiting summer student. “He was sitting there with a woman on each lap. They were babes, and I’m not a babe.” But the president-to-be extricated himself, came over to Jack’s table and chatted. That he’d show such courtesy while otherwise engaged “told me Obama was a cool dude,” Jack says.

Jack shunned tabloids during the election and instead is having an exhibit of her photos in West Hollywood this week.

LA Times reports.

Imagine the Sexual Tension

What are they thinking?


Pelosi: I’ve never been into the Ivy League fratboy type, but WOW.

Bush: I’ve never been into Left Coast hippie chics, but WOW.

Pelosi: Hmm, his hands are kinda small.

Bush: I’m gonna kinda brush my hand up against her knee and see if she lets me leave it there.

Pelosi: If we hooked up I could just blame it on the wine we had for lunch.

Bush: I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make her Bed Rock.

Pelosi: I bet he thinks I look like his wife.

Bush: Thump me baby, thump me.

Huh?

From Reuters article, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s response to a soldier’s complaint of lack of vehicle armor and other protective equipment in Iraq.

“I don’t know what the facts are but somebody’s certainly going to sit down with him and find out what he knows that they may not know, and make sure he knows what they know that he may not know, and that’s a good thing. I think it’s a very constructive exchange,” Rumsfeld said of the questioner.
