It creeped me out to see pics of Obama and his pecks. I don't blame him for the media's drooling over everything this man does. But I cringed reading some of the fawning over his physic. HE was a stick with the beginnings of man boobs from what I saw. But again...only the fawning media and Obamites eat this stuff up. I was embarrassed for him myself.
