Please give me a break. I understand even Pat Robertson is praising Obama. But there are some who see something insidious in everything Barack Obama does. Right Wing Whack Jobs will be Right Wing Whack Jobs, after all. They think Obama being photograhed in the surf, without a top on, for goodness sake, is a staged photo-op. From that bastian of everything Right Wing, the Washington Times:

Remember those staged photos of Bill and Hillary Clinton dancing on the beach once upon a time? You have to wonder. The Obama ‘pec’ photos were taken on a public beach. Some accounts said the photographer had approval to take those shots. All of a sudden, the bad buzz about links between Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama was gone for a while, replaced by good buzz about presidential pecs,” noted Tim Graham of the Media Research Center.

“There’s some bathing-suit bias, too. When beauty queen photos of [Alaska Republican Gov.] Sarah Palin surfaced during the presidential campaign, the press coverage was negative. And you can be sure if positive images of President Bush in a bathing suit had appeared sometime in 2000, the press would have cast suspicions on them as a staged photo-op,” Mr. Graham said.

Mr. Obama’s public pin-up shot is not his first. A photo of him emerging from the surf - a little chunkier but still agreeable - made global headlines shortly before he announced his White House run in 2007. Such accidentally-on-purpose moments could be the hallmark of a very deft public official.

So petty, so stupid these Right Wing Whack Jobs are. They are complaining and whining because Barack Obama doesn’t wear a shirt while swimming in the ocean, something that is an epidemic at the beach, by the way, and then, as the most important man on the planet, he gets his picture taken? Oh, please!
