No White Christmas for Obama Family...

G is for Gossip: 12/22/2008 10:15 AM
...because it ain't gonna snow in Hawaii.

Hey, where do you think President-elect Barack Obama and his family are holing up in Hawaii?  Think maybe it's that one house with frickin' cavalcade of cop cycles?  Naw... probably not...

Barack, his wife Michelle, and their darling daughters Malia and Natasha were spotted doing some pre-Christmas sunning on the security-riddled lovely coast of Kailua, Hawaii.  And NO, we don't know where you can purchase Michelle's sensible one-piece.

Enjoy our EXCLUSIVE pics of your pec-tacular President-elect:

Why can't you clowns leave them alone. Especially the kids. You can argue that the Obamas signed up for this but not the kids!

Hopefully, this will be the last vacation that the paparazzi can get this close to the Obamas. They deserve their privacy.

Would YOU like to have a pic of yourself in YOUR mu-mu posted online? Give 'em a break, America!

YES, please in the name of God, take the pics of these kids down. This should be a crime, dude.

In the name of the invisible cloud buddy, calm down, paranoid folks. Dept of Homeland Security got you? There is nothing wrong with those pics of the kids. They aren't the holy grail and they aren't being abused by being photographed. Remember JFK and his kids? No harm, no foul. Happy holidays, folks.

By the way, we know that those of you complaining about the pictures of the kids are just losers trying to sound like you are truly concerned but are really just lost souls in search of yourselves. Tip: this is not the place to do it.

Mr. President, The Department of Health and Vital Statistics in Honolulu is open until 3:00 pm Christmas Eve, and then all day on December 26, please stop by and pick up your long form Birth Certificate so you can stifle the nay-sayers who say you are not eligible to be President.

Hopefully they are taking small steps..like learning how to spell, maybe read.
I love you Barack!!!!! You make me so proud - and now I can finally go overseas and admit I am from America! They love you in Europe, etc. Election prediction was somewhere around 84% in favor of Obama. MCCain the Old ass, face sagging, lying, fake is hated! He will never be able to travel out of the US.

Sgt Rock says:

Ugliest First lady of all time? That would be the woman that George Bush the Elder always had on his arm. She wasn't actually a first lady since she was his mother, and I guess you have to give her a break for being so old, but it did always look funny. What? My buddy here is trying to tell me that was actually his wife! Now that's a howler! Barbara Bush was George's Wife? Get outta here. No way. She looked at least 20 or 30 years older than him. Then again, Republicans do tend to be Momma's boys.

I personally feel uneasy that we see this good of pictures of the president elect and his family. I don't think think anyone should be able to get that close to them to get those kinds of pictures. That could have easily have been a scope on a gun....unsettling. The secret service should be more on top of this in the future.

Jay great comment, I agree he probably is a US citizen, so is Arnold Swartzenegger, but the one thing neither of them are is "Natural Born US Citizen", which is required to be eligible for the office of the Commander In Chief.

After the Bush shoe throwing incident and someone getting close enough to take these pics, the secret service needs a major overhaul.

Bob says:

Foolish, I don't know if you're aware of this but Hawaii is a US State. Obama was born in Hawaii, hence he is a Natural born US Citizen.
The non-US Citizen claim from Obama's critics is beyond pathetic. He's a Nat. Born US Citizen, the Birth Certificate is genuine. The end. For your sake (and ours) get over it and move on.

You are being decieved by this usurper, he isnt eligible to be president and WILL NOT SERVE. He has perpetrated a FRAUD on this country. Its bad enough that he was a member of the SOCIALIST New Party in Chicago, that his whole family were communists, but he is not a natural born citizen of the US even IF he were born in Hawaii. Although there is no PROOF that he is even a CITIZEN. WHY WONT HE SHOW HIS VAULT COPY OF HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE? WHY? What is he HIDING? The thing on the internet is NOT his VAULT copy, it is not PROOF of where he was born. SHOW US THE REAL THING

You have taken great photos, however I have a BEEF with you, I'm African American and as a Black Woman We find it very offensive to be referred to as "Gals" within our culture so in the future, plz don't use that term when referring to our "First Lady Michele Obama and her daughters Sasha and Malia", I hope you do take the time to read this posting.

You know I can't help but find this funny. On one hand we have people glad to have a fresh face and new ideas in the White House. But on the other hand we want to keep the same thing in the White House that got the economy into trouble. Everybody is concerned where Barack is from and want him to show his birth certificate. Stop and think for one minute about all of our ancestors NONE OF THEM ARE FROM THE UNITED STATES. Whites were from Europe and Black were from Africa (which we're brought against their will).

The only people that can truly say they are what we would call American's are the Indians. Everybody seems to forget how they were pretty much wiped off the face of the earth by the Europians.

It's great to have someone fresh as Commander and Chief. What harm can Barack do that hasn't already been done? My thing is get over it, this land belongs to none of us.

fitness advocate says:

Finally we have a US president(elect) who is an excellent example to the rest of the nation that a healthy, fit lifestyle is possible to whoever really pursues it. I totally admire and respect Barack Obama's commitment to his personal health & fitness. I read that even during his campaign and currently in spite of the quotidien exigencies of his transition, Barack still keeps his DAILY regimen of working out. That's impressive, given that a man in his position is no doubt a very busy person. Hopefully this will be an inspiration to all the fat, obese, overweight, lazy, excuse-making Americans (since we are one of the fattest nations on Earth) who need to learn from Obama that fitness and good health is attainable...NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU CLAIM TO BE! Thanks Mr. President-elect for showing us through your example that we can do it.

I really think that the Obamas deserve some privacy - but then again, so does everyone. I honestly don't understand why people are so obsessed with photos like there. They're just people. You see tons of those every day. I don't think it will harm the Obama girls, but I wish that we didn't even obsess over celebrities altogether.

And WTF is with some of you people? Why are you so intolerant and mean? People like you are the reason why we have wars, genocide, and merciless killing! Every person, no matter what color, age, or background, is a human! You should respect their right to live and be loved. If you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. We don't need any more problems in this world; we need people to help make this world a better place.

May God bless all of you this season. :]

At last some down to earth REAL typical multi racial American people living in our White House. Of course he is a US citezen you ignorant republican haters! I put the HATE back on you 100,00,000 times - U could have had a natural born Panamanian I capitalize only out of respect for my Panamanian friends, not the old drunk I'm refering to that senator mccain...or that ignorant thing from Alaska LOL! Jokes on you fools.

WOW 26 days left until we get our Country back...interesting how the old boy network has steadily punished all of America for electing a Great new President. By imploding the economy, trying to destroy the US Auto Industry, letting the housing market fail etc... It has been a fast steady downward spiral ever since President Obama won the Dem Primary. Hasn't anybody noticed..the idiot red staters and red old boy network knew even then they could never win.

However Obama and Co. will get the US back on track ASAP. God bless the OBAMAS! Robert L. T.-M.

It's been a while since we've had a president who works out and keeps himself in such good shape and health.
He will need to be physically strong to face the challenges ahead.

Hello First Family-elect!
Merry Christmas and New Year.
President-elect sir, pleased your family and you were able to go pay your respect to your Grandmother,and scatter her ashes. God bless her soul. Mrs. Dunham helped raise the 44th President of the United States. What a honor and privilege it has to be.
I'll take your word, you are not a perfect man, probably won't be a perfect President. Who among us can claim that title. Only One! I donated my little monies that could be spared, in hopes of you being elected. That was a wise choice on my part. Yes, I probably won't agree with all the choices you make. But I will stand behind you, as a citizen of this great country, in hopes that an intelligent man such as yourself will do what is right for ALL of us. You helped me to get involved with what's happening here and abroad. As our Leader, I will hold you accountable.
Pray you will be known as one of the best Presidents our country has known. Will close as this letter was opened....
Merry Christmas, and a Blessed New Year!

A proud Ohioian.

That right, even though my son was born in Brazil in 1974, my son's Hawaiian Birth Certificate looks exactly like President Obama's too. Thats because I have always and proudly lived in Hawaii and my son has lived here with me since he was barely two weeks old. You Obama haters should leave this issue alone because he is a Hawaii citizen just like my son!

PRH2 says:

It does occur that to some extent our surprise at the Obamas allowing the public to see them acting naturally as they come and go on vacation may be due in part to our having become accustomed to the "Imperial Presidency" of the last eight years.

This may just be one of the ways they are beginning to let us know that they're bringing with them into the White House a new sensibility - and sensitivity to the interests of the people they are about to serve.

I'm just grateful to have a president with a book in his hand.

What's with all the "get rid of the kids' pics" comments? Who cares? They're just kids being kids, first family or not. I'm sure the Obamas all realize to some extent that this sort of heightened publicity's going to be the norm for at least four years, and honestly, I admire them not being super-secretive and staying in hiding despite that.

Looking good, Barack, and looking forward to a change of pace for this country.

Wow. Michelle Obama is not only elegant and sophisticated but poised, intelligent, and assertive. And she sounds good even when she isn't reading from cue cards (cough: SarahPalin: cough). All you who are yelling about Michelle Obama being ugly -- perhaps you don't care for brown-skinned women. Which is fine. But that doesn't make her ugly, just not your type.

1. He's not the president.

2. He's not even eligible to be POTUS under the Constitution. Hint: Neither was McCain and the Senate admitted it. Go check your facts.

3. He's nothing but a "typical" spendthrift.

4. He's not respected by the average intelligent American - at all.

5. No one I know is going to acknowledge him. He'll constantly be caught up in lawsuits for the next 4 years.

6. I'm going to enjoy exposing every move he makes.

7. He will go down as the biggest fraud this country ever allowed.

8. Bill Clinton knows the truth.

9. Obama is no messiah.

10. Obama is nothing but a loser puppet and Rahm Emanuel should be in jail.

Don't have shortage of indians. Our ancestors were the one's to do this not us and when do we make our final payment to these people that are the ancestors of the one's we did this to. First big job for Obama is to decide when the indians can work for a living and not stand with there hands out.

When he run for President he threw his private life out of the window. He should have thought of his children. It is the job of the photographers to take pictures why should they spare the President elect? Remember Princess Di and her chidren? Why should be different with Obama and his children?

This is to Intelligent Americans who voted for a change from "business as usual"/ Obama and saw that promise in a (finally) intelligent, articulate person who reads newspapers, knows a law or 2 or 3; knows some GEOGRAPHY, understands that the US Supreme Court has made some important decisions AND remembers a couple of them; who actually went to college, completed his course work and was known even then as articulate and intelligent and who actually brings SOMETHING of his OWN to the table, rather than a degree in MY-FATHER'S-MONEY/OILWELL/CONNECTIONS; my I-DIDN'T-QUITE-COME-LAST-IN-MILITARY-SCHOOL or does NOT have to hide behind racist rhetoric to make a point: (Don't worry, the other group will not be able to READ what is being written here - that is the reason they LISTEN to Slimebaugh & Co.)

Pay no attention to the Birth Certificate issue; The Obama's do not. Those fools just want to be noticed. Right Wing Repugs are KKK in suits. They speak ill of anyone who proves them wrong, WHO ARE SMARTER (ALMOST EVERYONE). These are evil, fearful people; fearful of their own shadow; terrified now that all the stolen money is gone (to some other thief); angrier than ever that they KNOW who the thieves are but cannot OUT them; ashamed that the BIG BOAST (I hear that is a particular talent of DUBYA from EARLY years) and lies have been found out. They are just SICK of themselves, and as have been their training, they looks for someone else to blame. Sad! sad! sad!!!

Proud Ohioan says:

I am delighted that they were able to take a very needed vacation and to pay respect to his grandmother. I am not surprised by many of the comments regarding his children and family. I do, however, agree that the pics of the children, especially in their bathing suits, should be removed immediately. Second, it is concerning to see the Paparazzi have the ability to get so close to the first family, especially in their private location. Third, I would also like to know what book he is reading. Fourth, Michelle is a very beautiful, intelligent and strong woman and mother and I have the utmost respect for her. Last, as a single parent and a student (masters in education) I am excited about President Obama's plans for changing the NCLB law and increasing teachers pay.

Thank you and it was an honor to volunteer for your campaign in Ohio. I am proud and confident that Ohio made the right decision.

Hi I hope the world will understand that Mr Obama is the right man for the job (President, Father and Husband)he is not perfect nor will he fix all the problems but he is honest and this is something US politics need A CHANGE IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. Just allow him and his family to to rest before the storm begins on Jan 20th 09. What every American needs to do ( black, white, hispanic, jews, man, woman or any other) is to give him the support so that he can guid the country and make the change he has promise. He certainly has my support and I am not even American.

Do these people who are calling the Obamas names think they really give a darn what they are saying? I mean come on, talking about Michelle's behind,or how ugly she is. Get use to it that won't change one darn thing, she still will be the First Lady of the United States. Michelle is not ugly. Do you think Cindy McCain is beautiful? Heck no. Neither is that idiot from Alaska. And when it comes to Michelle's behind, not all women have flat asses. I will admit I talk about Palin's 17 year old pregnant unmarried daughter. I said that if it was Obama's daughter in that situation, could you just imagine all the terrible things which would be said about them? The Obama Haters wouldn't give a darn about that child. I talked about the hypocrisy from these people. I'm going to click off this site and get ready for January 20th. Where my President and his First Lady and their kids will walk into the White House. And the sorriest president ever will go back to Texas.

Jasse Walton says:

Greetings from Australia, fellow World citizens. Yes, I must admit I followed a link to see Mr. Barack with his shirt off - & it was a very good look too. As was Ms. Michelle, & the kids look like happy kids having a good Xmas holiday - well-deserved. In fact, it looks like a fairly normal family break. I don't see what the problem is with kids running around in bikinis on a beach holiday.
A holiday obviously tinged with sadness due to Barack's grandmother dying just before the election day. What bittersweet irony. But apparently Mrs. Dunham had already registered her vote before she went to Heaven.
Unfortunately, the Obamas are now in the public domain, & they will have to negotiate their privacy with the press, as do so many others. I think the ghost of Princess Diana is always in the background on that one. However, I dare say the Obamas will work that one out with their usual intelligence and caution as they go.
Quite a number of us over here in Australia are totally overjoyed that George W. Shrub is packing up & leaving Washington. (We don't have to listen to those unintelligible sound grabs for much longer). Do you know that George Bush did not have a passport until he became President? Our former national leader (whose Liberal party lost last year's election), John Howard (whom we had to endure for 12 years) became one of George W's Best Friends, & Bush convinced Howard to also send troops to Iraq, which must be one of the most ill-conceived wars in history. Our Australian troops are still over there, getting shot & blown up to the bejesus too. I've always wondered - if it was just a matter of getting rid of Saddam Hussein & his psychotic sons, why not a couple of assassins? One word: oil. Second word: money.
So, because our former Australian leader decided to follow George W. Shrub, we too became targets from right-wing Islamists, which has resulted in carnage such as the Bali bombings.
Our new leader, Kevin Rudd & his Labor party were elected just over a year ago, ending the 12-year deadlock of the former party (very akin to your current American experience of Democrats unseating the incumbent Republicans), & sure, they've made mistakes, they may not have gone as far as we wanted them too, but they've done some great stuff, & at least there's educated, forward-looking thinking amongst their representatives. There has been a mass sigh of relief not to have a leader who was so out of touch with his populace and with current issues [eg. he was a climate change denyer, he thought Guantanamo was fine etc etc].
OK, with the current Rudd Government, we still have to keep on their backs, & tell them what we want - but that's participatory democracy, isn't it?
I would suggest to those of you above who are agin or undecided about Obama, to read the book he wrote nearly 10 years ago "Dreams From My Father". I read it about 18 months ago. Even if it had not been written by Barack , it's an incredibly good read. It details an incredibly interesting, very multi-cultural childhood & adolescence, & his experiences as a community organiser were an eye-opener to me.
Congratulations America - apart from anything else, you've managed to elect a man who has lived in both white & black worlds, has experienced both racism & privilege, who has travelled and lived in a number of countries, who is not only educated but knows how to think, and speak without an autocue. A man who obviously values his wife and family as his basis, & I think knows he's lucky. He also seems to have some sense of humility, enjoys sport & music & I dare say he & Michelle indulge in a tad of the horizontal tango in the midst of it all. Very normal.
I think it will be a very interesting presidency, & gee I wish I had a ticket to the Inaugural Ball - what a party.
And I must say I had a chuckle about the correspondents above as to whether Hawai'i was part of America. I believe they stopped teaching geography in American schools some years ago, that would account for it. It would probably account for the question I was asked a couple of years ago in Portland, Oregon, as to just WHAT language we speak in Australia. (It's English, by the way).
Anyway, let's look to a new era. Best wishes to all for 2009.

We have followed Barack since his speech at the last Democratic National Convention and we feel that if anybody deserved to be President he does. May the next 4 years bring many changes for the betterment of mankind and we wish you all the best.

Thanks Mr. President-elect for showing us through your example that we can do it."

Correction: THE fattest nation on Earth. Unless there's an unknown republic somewhere populated by Sumo wrestlers!
