Wonkette
Our own Jim Newell is a modern day NOSTRADAMUS. Just four days ago he wrote about gays hatin’ on Pastor Rick Warren, “This furious resistance will last, at most, four days, when new shirtless pixxx of Obama in Hawaii will leak to the Huffington Post and everyone will forget about gay invocations or whatever.” Well, they leaked to TMZ, but otherwise A plus! You really can write the news in advance. Photo by Bauer Griffin. [TMZ]
Jimmy’s getting pretty good at this stuff, I must admit.
I dont even think there is any reason to read anything but Wonkette anymore for political news. I mean, fuck it.
Thanks, Barry, for reminding me I need to work on my pecs. Buggers.

OK, he is fine. It has to be said.
Holy geeze. I’d sure like to see him smoke Dubya in a mountain-bike race.
Sure puts Putin and his flabby man boobs to shame, doesn’t it? America is once again the world leader in man boobs.
Yummers!
WoW! I believe he is the first president that I have seen without his shirt! The man is HOT! Hottest Presidential BOD EVER!
glad glad glad
Clearly that Muslin Al Qaeda in America likes to keep their operatives fit.
He’s swinging to the left….I just knew it!
Newell has a nose for pornstars; that’s a given.
Are bottomless Obama pics promised as well?
Oh Barry! Always trying to distract us with teh sexy. He will be the Presidential equivalent of that boyfriend who no matter what he did you would eventually forgive him because he’s so damn fine!
I hope he don’t let that all go to hell on January 21 when he opens the bag o’ shit Dubya left behind for him..
I don’t remember voting for Will Smith…
I think he looks even better than he did in the LAST Hawaii pix! You old devil you, Obama - you know what it takes to shut up dissenting voices. Abs of steel! (any time you’re so distracted by your political leaders that all you can do is fantasize about doing body shots off them, you’re in trouble)
I’m glad i’m not the only one that made a point of observing the package
barry looks… waxed?
Look, we all know Jim Newell is a prophet — but what I didn’t know was how buff Bama looked half naked. I’d totally get gay married to this dude, if he’d allow it.
I urge all of you to heed Sara’s alt-text advice and not Google image search “man boobs,” for your own psychological safety. But since I already took the plunge, I must point out that Vladimir Putin comes in well ahead of Our Barry in the search results.
That that Prez-elect a “manzeer”.
Shai: all $700B worth?
Shai: I’m ashamed that that’s not the first place my eyes went, seriously! What is WRONG with me?!
he looks pretty good here, too. Also, note the comment by “JakeD”. People like this scare me.

StephanieInCA: Ha!
TGY: Ugh. Must. Do. Push-ups! Damn this nerdy body!
I think some contrast is needed. Perhaps Gramps McCorpse in knee-high black socks, plaid shorts up to his ribs, and the obligatory Blue-Blockers.
Tasty.
jfruh: I have seen those…truly something that should be made a state secret. Ees for Russian dignity of people!
Servo: The thought of Chunky McMan-tits (or whatever) should provide the contrast you seek!
Doglessliberal: JakeD is a paste-eater and nothing more.
The JakeD’s of the world are just jealous because Barry makes the US presidency look good.
Smokin’!!!
loudmouthredhead: You said it. I’m the same age as our beloved Hopey and my moobs don’t look anything like his pectorals-in-chief.
Of course, I’m also white and hairy, but still…

Looks like Barry’s stimulus package is already working on the Wonketteers.
Christ on a cracker, people. Like I’m supposed to be able to work after this?!?
I knew I voted Obama for all the right reasons. Hot bod, the reason that matters the most.
Goddamn you Wonkette for that alt text! Because of course then I had to. Why?!
Doglessliberal: HONOLULU — President-elect Barack Obama spent his first full day in Hawaii working out with his wife, Michelle…
Damn, Barry — next time stay at a hotel with thicker walls. The press hears everything.
My panties are happy.
Wow, I for one hope Barry spends as much time on vacay in Hawaii as Dubya did on the ranch.
Yum! Now where did I leave my “body politic” jokes…
I’ve gotta to to Change.gov and apply for a job — I just know Hopey needs someone to follow him around at all times doing an a capella version of the Hawaii-Five-Oh theme.
That is one yummy double dip caramel sundae of a man, right there. But really, I am so glad he is wearing decent surf shorts and not a pair of Plum Smugglers ( a.k.a Banana Hammock)…
SayItWithWookies: heh heh heh.
http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/images/reagan-shirtless.jpg
Damn, he nearly has man-tits.
That’s an awsum pic. Totally makes up for the fact that I will Probably Not Get A Job With The Obama Administration.
NOT.
Servo:
I opt for a more amusing contrast, such as an artist’s rendition of a shirtless Taft or Martin Van Buren.
SRSLY, this is the President of the U.S.? Fuck you world!
The drag about enjoying these pics/pecs, my fellow wonketters is that next they are going to torment us with latest installment of Billy Krystals, sick version of you don’t know Dick…. Cheney. (it is VERY bad this week)
DemmeFatale:
Not for me! For the still undecided voters.
It’s twoo, it’s twoo
It should be noted that just because he clearly waxes his chest, it does not mean he’s a friend to the gay agenda. That being said, I need to run to the gym to work on my pecs.
TJBeck:
hey, thanks for that. just lost my quakers oats.
Where’s the snorkel?
freakishlystrong: Maybe this will encourage Nicolas Sarkozy to go running more often. Maybe Jiang Zemin will take up his old tennis habit, in preparation for the rumored rematch against the doubles team of Lee Myung-bak and Taro Aso. Angela Merkel will finally get that Jazzercise instructor certification the Social Democrats have been pushing for. Maybe even Kevin Rudd will continue his spelunking (the non-icky, non-nose-related kind). But I wouldn’t be surprised if Gordon Brown bucks the trend and continues to eat his feelings.
Obama is the Change We Can Believe In. Feel the burn.
TJBeck: Horrifying.
Kev-O-Tron: Doglessliberal: I see that CNN’s grammar nazi-ism still hasn’t sunken in yet regarding the correct usage of commas.
Dramatist: loudmouthredhead: At least we can’t be accused of having ‘man-boobs’, so there’s that.
Happy Obamakah!
Meanwhile, Palin sits in her Aleutian OP, pluckin’ goat hairs.
WANTS! I can haz a Barry for holidaze? In all seriousness, I totally voted for this man based on his intelligence, the bod is just a bonus.
Wait… wasn’t there something that gays were angry about? Just a few days ago? Man, all I’m thinking about is pecs right now.
44 is looking good for 47, except for the man-titties.
Alas, this will not sway the Hillaryis44.com gentry.
TGY: This is true. Manboobs are something straight people have, whereas gays have “pecs.” Unfortunately, straight people also have “political power” and gay people have “a minor trend towards more disposable income.” So I think it evens out.
He’s like Ned Flanders or Groundskeeper Willie or Mac from Night Court.
loudmouthredhead: Push-ups accentuate man-titties, so unless that’s the look you’re going for, you might want to reconsider. But if you are gonna develop them, definitely wax them regularly, else how would anyone ever find out how lovingly you’ve crafted them?
Just looks like another homophobic mulatto Promise Keeper asshole to me.
Judging from his legs, I would think he’s just generally hairless as opposed to a waxer.
I’d still hit it.
Lascauxcaveman: It’s Newell’s reverse gaydar at work.
actor212: Waxing the arms and legs? Bathes in wax wearing a showercap?
HuskyMescan: Jake and his alterego 37th & O
HuskyMescan: he just sounds crazy enough to do something. I hope he is a giant, 700-lb blob living in his mother’s basement, unable to move.
The Obama Phenoma: will it make America pec and abs conscious? Only time will tell. And a diet of dietetic hobobeans and hard-tack and low-carb shoe leather (the original beef jerkey!). Those shoes that we can resist throwing, that is.
ac360: I’m thinking more Madonna-Dafoe, AC.
Obama offers early christmas gift to public:
http://democralypsenow.blogspot.com/
I’m surprised Annie Leibovitz wasn’t all over this photo op. Or wait- was she too at Pastor Warren’s Gay-Away Camp?
It was actually 25 degrees and snowing in Hawaii when Obama arrived — but when he changed into his bathing suit the sun came out, the temp shot up 55 degrees, the snow melted and the mako sharks popping surfers off the beach suddenly developed a taste for kelp. True story.
It’s not the pecs, it’s the abs. Man. What a hottie. I don’t think we’ve seen Bush shirtless and I hope to Gawd to never see Clinton shirtless. This is hotness I can believe in. Si Se Puede! As to his …umm… business: let them Commies take the “measure of the man.”
WalnutsIsMyCo-Pilot: After looking at this pic, I’m clearly in the “Rick who?” camp.
looks like he’s lost a cup size since the last time, see exercise really is key! we all know angela merkel won’t be turning down a backrub from that hot piece. it’s official, michelle obama has the best life ever; she gets to be totally awesome AND she gets to do the sexy times with barry while she’s at it, life simply is not fair.
Hey, while we’re on the topic of bodies, has anyone heard if Reggie Love is on staff?
He could have cleared the brush out of the entire state of Texas in a couple of weeks.
Schadenfried: There’s a pretty big difference between man boobs and pectorals. In fact I would go as far as to say they are polar opposites.
Seriously though, take that picture and tape up his hands, and Barry would not look out of place among the UFC roster.
Ha, I am absolutely the best blogger on Earth, times a million. And the only difference between the Huffington Post and TMZ is that HuffPo lets the celebrities write articles. See? That was another one of my many clever and profound blog jokes. It must be hard for you all to control your laughter, right now.
Uhh… I’ll “see” you all tomorrow when it is my “limited Wonkette Holiday vacation” posting day.
JimNewell: So Kristol’s column is just going to sit there unmolested? Oh please — it’s like a blind and deaf girl walking alone through Central Park after dark in a miniskirt.
As a gay man…
I shwing between “I am not happy about Rev. Warren,” and…
“DAMN! - Hubba, hubba, hubba…!!”
Funny, everyone thought Bill was sexy and cool as shit when he blew the sax back in ‘92.
This should definitively end the right-wingers’ description of Michelle Obama as an Angry Black Woman. She must be a Happy Happy Woman (ethnicity unimportant).
Mild Midwesterner: You betcha!
SayItWithWookies: I hadn’t read it until you mentioned that, so I read the first line — “You gotta love Dick Cheney.” — and now am frightened to read the rest. Ha, best line of 2008. The excoriation will come tomorrow.
Thank Jeebus for the Presidential issue of Tiger Beat. Yum.
This picture makes me ride his mantra of change all the way to the promise land.
JimNewell: Kristol is juicy as usual. Might I also request attention to the faux letter to the NYT editor from the faux mayor of Paris. Srsly, don’t they have fact-checkers?
Yum!
JimNewell: Yaay! Unlike the Lord, you can petition the Wonkette with prayer.
Happy Birthday Mr. President. I got your gift right here.
This is a metaphor for the new cold war. All the judo skills in the world can’t touch that, Putin
an’ don’t even think about takin’ your shirt off Kom Jong Il
JimNewell: if only he’d left it at “you gotta love dick.”
speaking of dick….
oh my…
can we have half-naked obama as our new giant looming wonkette figurehead?
doesn’t even matter which half.
That’s a pic that needs no Blingee-in’.
I *heart* him sooo much!
AnglRdr: But what will they say at Joe the Forum, or have you been evicted all ready.
According to HuffPo, “Despite Secret Service Ban, Paparazzo Wearing Hawaiian Shirt On Beach Took The Shots”.
Ken and Jim - have you posted today, or are you on Patrol on Hawaii beaches, trying to fulill a Wonkette prediction?
I knew my Wonkette sense was tingling for a reason…Daaaaamn Barry. I’ll be sleepin’ sweet tonight…
Ya know, I’ve been wonderin’ whether Barry has a MANDATE–get it A MAN DATE? If not, I am willing to oblige.
meemers: You’ve clearly blotted out of your mind this image:
http://www.wgmd.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/clinton2xart280_1.jpg
That is one President and one future Secretary of State in their swimsuits.
Anita Cocktail: Mitt Romney’s boys thank you.
[Put a] Lime in a coconut.
Thank Jehovah, that this is not president which we feel comfortable having a beer with.
If I look that good at 47, I will deserve to be President, also.
AnglRdr: OMG! THX 4 TEH IDEA!!!!1! OFF TO BUILD OMABA BLINGGEEEEEEEEE!!! K THX BUY!
(ps-Dear My Dearest Wonkette, I know a thing or two about making money off the ole media, and the new, and let me tell you that you need to get the Blingee people to sponsor a monthly contest. For your traffic, don’t take less than a couple grand per month for the extended sponsorship of a loyal readership. It could be bigger than Campbell Brown.)
I’m just sayin’. Wonketters, feel free to disagree you frakking (lovable) bastards.
I don’t think anyone knows yet just how good a politician this guy is. Joe Scarborough said this a.m. that Obama needs to “throw” something to the gay community for dissing them over the Warren selection. I think he already did. Watch your mouths, Republicans!
mmmmmmerry christmas to me!
Part of Obamamania. Well see in a few months
