    Chrissie Lewinksie’s tinlges going up (or down) his legs while seeing Obama is similar to Christina Aguilera’s tingles going down her leg at a funeral performance for Etta James.

    he is smiling because he sees the clowns that are running against him on the right,I mean, how can you not smile when you see Newt and Mitt tearing each other apart. And he doesn’t even have to lift a finger.

    But Obama never had it to begin with.

    Or were you refering to Tingles?

    Ever since Republican Primary started, Obama seems to be smiling a lot lately.

    His smile is beautiful and genuine. He is an honest man who cares about this country. He doesn’t have to be sligh or hide behind name calling and finger pointing like Newt and Mitt. He is the real deal. All you haters becareful what you wish for cause Newt and Mitt could care less about you.

  • JustAsking2012

    Well, Obama doesn’t have to name call. He has almost all of the media to do it for him.

    While he’s never called anyone “racist” himself… there are plenty of volunteers around to do it for him.

  • JustAsking2012

    Seriously? What a vivid imagination you have.

  • JustAsking2012

    I’ve heard for a while now about how youthful, and handsome, and how well he speaks, and blah blah blah.

    Are all of Obama’s supporters really this shallow? Do any of them care about an issue? Or is it, “Well, he looks good,” and attack the other guy? Is that all they’ve got?

  • Anonymous

    It is my opinion that president Obama is much smarter than given credit for. This man definitely has leadership qualities that far outshine any of his prospective opponents. On Wall Street, Money talks! Many Wall Street-ers are hedging their bets, wanting Romney’s experience in the White House, but remembering the massive display and small contributor base that propelled Obama into the the presidency. With Romney winning they have someone who would not allow massive changes to the tax code endangering millionaires. Romney’s 13.7% effective taxes on his $21.7 million in 2010, shows the glaring inequity in taxation and Wall Street-ers want to keep the Status Quo. Americans are more informed and fully aware of what has been widely distributed from the Occupy Wall Street movement, the there is a concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people and the concentration of power in stricter, less compassionate hands.  Money talks. Big money talks louder! Unlimited sums bark orders. Romney has been running for five plus years and his troops have their orders to get it done. Well organized and flush with money, his juggernaut will roll. Seeking and Hiding behind the “Conservative” mantra, Romney wants control at any cost. Hiding behind the TEA party, he wants to control you and your thoughts. The TEA party protest taxes which pays for a multitude of programs they deem unnecessary, in-effective or not allowed by the constitution. Then try to shield their actions under limited government while allowing others to impose their strict religious beliefs. They want no controls over monies, schooling, curriculum and even isolationism. These guys want to grab and hold onto patriotism as their own and no one else can claim it. And this guy doesn’t care about the poor, marginalized people. With TEA party backing he would dismantle the entire Social Programs in place, privatize Social Security and start another war.

    His smile might be genuine…Its his intentions I’m concerned with-not to mention the excessive use of taxpayer’s dollars (that would be your money and mine, and probably most of people posting on this thread) to facilitate his (and the Mrs.) lavish vacations, in separate air planes. 

    Such a thrifty use of our dwindling resources…

    Matthews is on to something. I am not sure if it is worth 5 points but, in this shallow political environment, one big selling point for Obama is he does look sane, likable and the sort of guy I want my kids to spend time with. I know it is silly to base decisions on such matters, but it makes a huge difference. Sad but true.

    The Republicans here, appear to be exorcising their collected dissapointment with Mitt and Newt.

    It’s difficult to raise anything but a resigned smile for either of them, but try…

    It’s very genteel of President Obama to allow these gentlemen to obliterate each other. No doubt, The President will make his presence felt, once the loser is proclaimed by Republicans…

    >> RW: “Mediaite reporting on Chris Matthews gushing over President Obama’s
    smile…why? Because not many watch liberal MSNBC, so Mediaite needs to show you Obama’s nice smile.  See how it works”

    What cracks me up about this piece is that you’re correct in asking the most BASIC question of all — Why?

    The other day Tommy wrote a column about Sunday’s episode of ABC’s “This Week”, where he bitched about George Will and abortion. But as I noted in that comment section, I found it laughable that out of an hour-long show THAT is what he chose to write about when — on the very same show — the FAR more newsworthy moment came when Arianna Huffington declared that Liberals felt it was perfectly okay for the American military to slide down the ladder and be #2 or #3 in the world. Her argument being that Liberals believed the U.S. should NEVER be allowed to become SO strong that other countries would stop picking fights. Which was SUCH a jaw-dropping moment that even George Stephanopoulos looked at her with a totally wide-eyed and incredulous look of “What???”

    But instead of reporting on THAT, naturally we were treated to yet another anti-Right hit piece by Tommy — probably because his latest check from DNC command must’ve arrived in the mail. Which is why we’re likewise getting an eye-rolling article like this. And what makes it truly LAUGHABLE is that given the 24 / 7 / 365 news cycle that we live in these days…and given ALL of the guests that come and go and ALL of the comments that get made…editorially speaking, with SO MUCH to choose from each and every single day… instead of any of THAT being reported we’re treated to an article straight off the DNC fax machine about this moron’s smile.

    And you know what makes this an even larger CROCK?

    Think about it — what is one of THE most common things that constantly gets mentioned about Romney, even by his detractors? It’s his looks. The fact that he “looks” so Presidential on the surface, as if he came straight out of Hollywood casting. And yet in comparison when can you EVER recall Mediaite doing a puff piece article SOLELY dedicated to Romney’s looks?

    In short, Romney smiling and looking photogenic — not worthy of reportingand Mediaite won’t touch it. Obama smiling and looking photogenic — HALLELUJAH!  PASS THE WINE AND PRAISE THE LORD!!!

    Bottom line: I hope Obama keeps brushing his teeth and keeps that smile in shape. Because when he’s voted out in November, he’s going to need it when he shifts over to his NEW job of selling used cars — which is something that a slick-taking con artist and huckster like Obama would FINALLY be good at.

  • Anonymous

    Actually, that’s not hard to believe. The old Hollywood adage “the camera adds 10 pounds” is absolutely true — heck, most people see that by looking at their own photos, when they’ll often frown and think “Gee, I look really fat in that.”  And speaking as a transplanted East Coaster who was always star-struck and dreamed of living and working in Hollywood, the #1 most common reaction I have whenever I meet a celebrity is “Whoa! Is that what you REALLY look like in REAL life???”

    So when you see someone as thin as Obama on TV, it’s a SURE BET that if you met him in person you’d be thinking “Holy crap! This guy looks pretty wimpy. I know Michelle is on a “don’t eat certain foods” kick, but someone should really give this guy a few extra burgers and pizzas and ice cream cones!”
