OlderBarack Obama Covers People Magazine
Sen. Barack Obama takes the cover of People magazine’s latest issue.
Joining the 46-year-old Democratic presidential candidate on the cover is his wife Michelle, 43, and his two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. Here’s a little sneak peek:
– Barack’s daughters get a $1 per week allowance from Dad for doing their chores, like setting and clearing the dinner table.
– The kids receive no birthday or Christmas presents from Mom and Dad, who spend “hundreds” on birthday slumber parties and, as Barack puts it, “want to teach some limits.”
Also featured on this week’s cover is the debut of former Pregnant Man’s baby girl, Susan Juliette.
“She’s so precious, I just can’t stop staring at her,” Thomas Beatie tells People in his first interview since he and wife Nancy returned home. “Just holding her is the best feeling in the world.”

obama 2008!!
Hey, you McCain lovers…you do know that this (almost) 72-year-old doddering fool thinks Iraq and Afghanistan share a border? That he doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite, admits he is computer illiterate and knows little about economics? THAT’S the guy you want to untangle Bush’s mess?
The media sucks. It’s disgusting that they have selected our next president for us. Why do we even bother to vote?
Jared - I hope you are not a sheep by only pushing NObama here. Look what happened to Okra after she shoved the Messiah down her audience’s throat.
I do believe McCain made a simple mistake with words. I won’t stoop to slinging mud about Obama but I’m sure you know there is plenty of it out there. And I don’t think our presidents really have all that much use for computers… we got through quite a few before the things were even invented. It’s not like I’m going to be IM’ing with them. As for our troops, yeah bring ‘em home and let those people do what they want.. I’m sure it won’t ever get out of hand and the attacks on America won’t increase :/ Some of you people live in quite the ignorant utopia *rolls eyes*

What an effing hypocrite Obama is. He made such a big deal of saying he would keep his daughters out of the spotlight, after Access Hollywood, and now here the girls are on the cover of People. I guess it’s true that he’ll do anything he needs to if it will think it will get him elected.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This interview and magazine cover was done way before Access Hollywood. It just happens to publish now. Obama was going out of the country so they did this before. FYI.
Nobama supporters are so righteous that they don’t even blink an eye at sexism (w/ Hillary) and now ageism with McCain. They completely gloss over the fact that Nobama has no experience nor skills except selling himself to satisfy his ego. The presidency is not an internship nor should there be on the job training for this novice. POTUS is an important job and you should have earned the right to serve and represent your country. He’s in it for himself. He feels it’s his time. He’s not willing to put in the time nor the effort. I will NOT vote for him.

Black people are so funny. they will vote for him cause he’s black. haha he is not even black. he’s only HALF black.
don’t tell me blacks vote for obama not because of his skin color. I asked my black co-worker why he’d vote for obama and he said,”it’s time for america to have a black president.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Black people have been one of the most loyal voters for the Democratic party. They make up I think about 25% of the Democratic party. It is a vote that has not strayed so the Democrats depend on Black votes. No one complained when Black people came out in droves for Robert Kennedy , Carter, Clinton etc. The point is Blacks predominantly vote for Democrats. Now when it came to Hillary, Bill Clinton kind of ruined his relationship with Blacks by saying some crazy stuff plus his dismissall of the genocide in Darfur, etc did not help. Remember, up until Iowa, Hillary was getting the black vote - she had it in the palm of her hands and she let her campaign let it go away from her so you can’t say black people only vote for Black people. Besides, the majority of votes for Obama are coming from Whites. he would not be where he is without a HUGE White support. Please get your facts straight. Also, if a biracial person like Halle Berry and Barack say they are black then who are we to argue? Barack is a darker skinned man who has been treated as a black person so he identifies with black just like Halle’s white mother taught her to do. It is clear, even if he said biracial, the number of Americans who are not voting for him because he is non-white see him as black. They have made that point clear. Yes Barack’s mother was white but do you seriously think people see him as white or anything but black? Sadly, these are the hard facts of race in America. Barack has learned more than anyone else what it is like to be truly treated as an other - a black person - in politics. And he has risen above it. Gotta give him props for that. Can we all elevate ourselves to that level? Can we try?
Also Hillary said we need a “woman president”. No one gave her flack for that. Barack has not ONCE said we need a “black president”. Somehow people excuse that kind of gender bias in the name of women’s rights. The hypocrisy there is ironic I think. Barack Obama has tapped into something in the AMerican psyche and this is the reason the issue is debated so much. No one can quite understand it. Meanwhile, he keeps focusing on his ultimate goal. His attitude is a good example to follow - no matter how many people tell you that you can’t - do it anyway. THAT is impressive.
Sammy, of course Jared is pro-Obama all the gay bloggers (Perez, MK) are.
How stupid does Obama think the American people are? Enough already!
lol @ any of you who believe in poli-tricks at all…obama..mccain…same brand…
heres how to get cheap health care
adios HMO’s
adios FDA
there you go
no such thing as good public education…you cant have caucasians of different ethnicities…aziatics of different ethnicities..orientals etc and have an education that fits all peoples…and all learning styles..rediculous…
t
56 is so damn right!!!
those obama bots need to wake the f^@% up!
Cindy, u really have a lot of time replying all these people….oh well, obama still sucks no matter what u say.
Yasmine, don’t u worry about black voters. they say they will vote for him, but u kno what? they will be busy f$%@ing their sisters, cousins, brothers, they won’t actually have the time to vote. The truth is tons of black men can’t even vote because they are in jail, on parole or probation.
Oh yea, the black votes for hillary were from the educated blacks and mostly women….just too bad that there aren’t enough of them.
Has anyone here accuse someone of being racist if the poster has said he/she is not voting for Obama yet?? Go ahead. You know you want to because that’s all you have
“The “elitist” thing drives me crazy. This is the guy who wants to get cheap health insurance and good public education for EVERYONE, not just his rich buddies.”
Actually his health care plan DOES NOT cover everybody. Hillary Clinton’s and John Edwards’ plans did, however.
The bottom line is our country is still divided along racial lines. Together we stand….divided we fall.
For the poster who claimed that black people support Obama just because he is black: actually, Barack Obama is just as white as he is black. Does this mean that any white person who supports him is only doing so because his mother was WHITE? Honestly, I’ve heard this reasoning so much and never ceases to ring of ignorance. Anyone who has the least bit of knowledge about the Democratic party knows that a majority of blacks have consistently voted for the Democratic candidate; also, before Bill and Hillary kept making questionable remarks Hillary had the black vote in the bag. More than that…no matter how many black people voted for Obama, he NEVER would’ve had a chance if not for the millions of whites, asians, hispanics, etc. who came in droves for him during the primaries. Please don’t give me this BS about how only black people support him when the guy won primaries in Iowa, Maine, Vermont, Texas (caucus), etc.
And for all those who are griping about fair media coverage: just the other day I was on CNN, and I noticed there was an article about how much (or in this case, how little) Barack Obama sweats after working out at the gym. They actually had quotes from a gym employee elaborating on how little the man sweats! I think we can all agree that coverage like this is ludicrous, but it’s not like he controls the media. If you’ve got a problem with the mainstream media then you should write letters and email your disgust, not take it out on Obama–who although makes tons of headlines, they are often so shallow and frivolous it hardly qualifies as news.
PLUS–if I was a McCain supporter, I wouldn’t be so quick to call for more media coverage. In the last two weeks alone he’s 1) repeatedly referred to Czechoslovakia, which has not been in existence since 1993 2) has falsely attributed one of the biggest breakthroughs in Iraq to the surge (his mistake was even EDITED by CBS news to cover for this incompetence–how is that for fair and unbiased) 3) AND McCain referred to growing violence on the Iran/Pakistan border…except there IS no Iran/Pakistan border!!! This man has proven on more than one occasion that he is completely incompetent and unqualified to be President. If you hate Obama also, fine, but the Republicans chose their nominee and if this clown is the best they could come up with don’t blame the media because the public finds McCain utterly boring.
DON’T VOTE FOR obama!
He thinks we should welcome illegal immigrants and be kind to them.
FUCl< that shi+!
vote for him if u wanna lose your job.
Canada loves Obama!!!!!!OBAMA2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama wants the world to know that he truly is not narcisstic at all, not one bit. ;-)
Honestly, neither Obama or McCain impress me at all. We are screwed either way.
erica, Obama is also clown.
Obama doesn’t even know how many states there are in America. he is just as stupid as McCain.
Who give a **** what Canadians think?? You can have him as your PM. please take him!
his eldest daughter looks like leighton meester.
People outside of the U.S. likes Barky not because they see something in him that we stupid Americans don’t. They like him because they hate Bush.
#12 Linda is so right.
PR in total overdrive. Can they shove Obama any further down my throat?
OBAMA 08!!!!!
I think obama is way more interesting than McCain anyday bacause he is more relatable to people- expesially in his childhood years
