Obama Sex Appeal?
It is pretty obvious that Obama’s aids are overtly allowing access so that Obama can be photographed on the beach without his shirt. Never in my lifetime have we witnessed such a political move. Sure, LBJ pulled up his shirt for reporters, but it kind of had the opposite effect.
Obama works out regulary and it shows. His handlers are reaching out to the non-political crowd is an attempt to create a Kennedy-like appeal. They are attempting to build a base of support that depends less on his policy and accomplishments, and more on his celebrity appeal.
Perhaps McCain’s ad with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton wasn’t so far off base afterall?
