Barack Obama
Our next president? Too early to tell, but we’re keeping track just in case. If the electoral college counted web buzz instead of votes, Obama would win in a landslide.
The Best Buzz
-
Boobs for Barack
Politics Buzz A website of user-submitted photos of women who draw messages in support of Barack Obama on their boobs. Even if Obama doesn't win the election, he can at least look back on the past year and think to himself, "It's been a really good campaign."
-
Obama “Wants to Talk White”
Politics Buzz Ralph Nader is getting into hot water after making some racially charged comments about Barack Obama. He seems to have outed himself as an essentialist, or at least someone who thinks that black politicians need to heed to a certain ideology that would be considered "more natural." I am a little shocked.
-
Bama Babies
Politics Buzz The babies who love 'Bama! Aren't they cute? And so political! There's an endless sea of baby Obama voters out there.
-
Obama Cornspiracy
Politics Buzz Although he doesn't take their cash, Obama is surrounding himself with ethanol backers and has flown on jets subsidized by Archer Daniels Midland, the largest domestic producer. In the U.S., ethanol comes from corn, and corn comes from Iowa, Obama's first caucus win. Did he ride Big Corn to a Democratic victory?
-
Versace’s Fashion Line for Obama
Style Buzz Donatella Versace dedicated her spring 2009 men's collection to Barack Obama. Versace felt compelled to honor Obama because he is "the man of the moment". Versace's line does not include any ties which she hopes will encourage Obama to "get rid of the tie and jazz up the shirt".

Video: Michelle Obama On “The View”
Obama's main squeeze appeared on The View and successfully dodged prodding from Barbara Walters.
-

Michelle Obama tells US Weekly why Barack loves her.
-
Baracknophobia
Politics Buzz Coined by Jon Stewart, "Baracknophobia" is the media's willingness to peddle insane rumors about Barack Obama — and their tendency to blame the rumor-mongering on internet sites. Merriam-Webster, take note: will Baracknophobia be this year's truthiness?
-
Claire McCaskill
Politics Buzz Another speculative female vice presidential nominee for Barack Obama. Missouri SILF (Senator I'd like to...) Claire McCaskill joins Obama's harem of Veepstakes hopefuls.
-
Fight the Smears
Politics Buzz Barack Obama campaign has a new website dedicated to dispelling the many false rumors surrounding the Presidential candidate. I wish I had had one of these websites when I was in high school to dispel all those nasty rumors....
-
Video: Obama’s Baby Mama
Fox News refers to the candidate's wife in a new, offensive way.
-
Kathleen Sebelius
Politics Buzz The Governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, is receiving a lot of mentions as a possible running mate for Barack Obama. As a popular female official in a largely white (and conservative) state she may provide all the benefits of Hillary Clinton with less awkwardness. She's not that much of a centrist either.

Barack Obama, Presidential Frontrunner and Action Hero.
-
Scarlett’s Obama Crush
Politics Buzz The presidential candidate and the actress have kept up a lengthy email correspondence. This goes somewhat beyond just showing her celebrity support. Wonder what Michelle makes of all this.
-
Celebrities for Barack Obama
Politics Buzz Just as JFK had Marilyn Monroe, Barack Obama has a slew of celebrity supporters. Hollywood's Team Obama already includes Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, and Samuel L. Jackson -- and the list only seems to be growing.
-
Party Unity, My Ass
Politics Buzz Or PUMA, for short. The name of the group of Hillary supporters who refuse to support Obama, and will be protesting the 2008 election. They even have their own fund-raising committee, but honestly, wouldn't the money be more effective if it just went directly to John McCain?
-
Image: Obama’s Bike Helmet
Barack Obama looks as dorky as the rest of us in his safety helmet.

You just won the Democrat's nomination for President -- time to punch it in!
