- JDenigma, on 05/29/2008, -3/+54What's so funny about this is how close to reality The Onion actually is on this.
- homah, on 05/29/2008, -5/+49He has already mastered the pause-after-every-five-words-to-pretend-to-find-the-perfect-word-to-use-from-his-immense-vocabulary bit. Once he masters the looking-off-into-future pose, he will be unstoppable.
- inactive, on 05/28/2008, -4/+46Comedy gold:
"As soon as Obama masters his looking-off-into-the-future pose, aides say he will begin honing his looking-straight-down-and-gripping-the-lectern-while-taking-a-deep-breath-to- communicate-both-his-rise-from-humble-roots-and-his-dedication-to-upholding- the-honor-and-responsibility-of-the-presidency-while-still-fully-understanding- the-historical-significance-of-the-moment pose." - inactive, on 05/28/2008, -12/+43As McCain practices his hiding real motives in his cheeks like a chipmunk pose.
- SheilaNoya, on 05/28/2008, -27/+58Funny. Oh well, at least he's looking to the "future" and not back to 1954 like John McCain is doing.
- RandomGorilla, on 05/29/2008, -4/+27It looks more like he's thinking "I can't hear any of you over the sound of how awesome I am."
- TheCheeks, on 05/29/2008, -1/+21LMAO @ the interactive video in the middle
- ALyken, on 05/28/2008, -11/+30I think he pulls it off well.
- RandomTidbits, on 05/29/2008, -9/+28Here's Rick Astley performing Never Gonna Let You Down -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -5/+18All good leftists have that pose. Stalin statues, Che Guevara murals...
- syadasti, on 05/29/2008, -3/+16Oh please. What planet do you live on? Fairy-pony-world?
- syadasti, on 05/28/2008, -8/+19Obama for overlord! http://www.nostate.com/28/i-for-one-welcome-our-ne ...
- syadasti, on 05/29/2008, -3/+12“The feeling is definitely there. It’s a new morning in America: fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We’re optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don’t need pessimism. There are no limits. We must look to the strength of our nation, our ideals, a vision. We don’t want to just survive; we want to succeed.”

- hellotyler, on 05/29/2008, -0/+8So hilarious. I bet he does practice it. It's pretty funny to think about but that's politics, just like Hillary and her god-forsaken hand gestures. It -does- have an effect or they wouldn't waste their time with it. Obviously I realize this is an Onion article, but it's all too true in reality as well.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -1/+8Or maybe we know how to have a laugh.
- WiseWeasel, on 05/29/2008, -2/+8Yeah right, he's probably getting a blumpkin...
- blitz718, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6you do realize hes joking and just playing along with the article, dont you?
- scheibs14, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6Neck/Shoulders is the best:
Adam's apple should be faintly visible to subtly remind voters that he is a male and therefore capable of leading country into the future - Neo829, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6Now here's an Obama article worthy of digging.
- kgibby, on 05/29/2008, -1/+7I must need sleep. I literally got halfway through the article thinking it was legit before i figured out it was theonion.
- matt487, on 05/29/2008, -4/+9Man I love Obama and I laughed my ass off when I read this. You can't take everything so seriously.
- matador3, on 05/29/2008, -3/+8I like this one best. http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/4669/obamasnobx ...
- EricDraven, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6Upped because, despite being totally honest, I still clicked the link...
- Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -1/+5lol
- 10lbhammer, on 05/29/2008, -5/+9seriously? did you just copy the description that we all just read and paste it here?
oh, I see you did... - PeppermintPig, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Or because you think anything that doesn't conform to your belief system is authority-obsessed and right-wing?
How can you denounce authority while promoting it? - groberts1980, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5Is there even one person on Digg who isn't obsessed with Obama?
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -3/+7From the computer model:
"Adam's apple should be faintly visible to subtly remind voters that he is a male and therefore capable of leading country into future." - hellotyler, on 05/29/2008, -6/+10Can you blame him ? This stuff works. I'm glad our next president will actually be able to deliver a thoughtful speech instead of bumbling around like an idiot like some people... [ahem]
- flashback99, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4if being himself is the 'it', yes.
- Hillsfar, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4"You have Black people, too?" - Bush in Brazil to the Brazilian president.
- Killeroid, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3unhhh, satire.....get it....
- magus_melchior, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Oh, come now. This is from The Onion. You know, Weekend Report-esque fake news?
You do understand comedic satire, yes? - fuzzy889, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3That was ***** funny,
- SageGuru, on 05/30/2008, -0/+2I think m0nte meant at a level considered of national importance, like a U.S. Senator or Governor of a large state. Junior High class vice-president doesn't qualify.
- jamessavik, on 05/30/2008, -1/+3I don't think its the "looking into the future" posture.
It looks more like the "painful gas pressure" or "constipated" pose. - rz8472, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2I like Ike!
- lmhoward, on 05/29/2008, -3/+5He has the look of a demigosh.
- LastVisibleDog, on 05/29/2008, -4/+6The Obamessiah cometh
Obamessiah, bless these 58 states and the dead people that cometh to thy speeches. May the President of Canada praise thy name and the 10,000 that died in Kansas shall rise from the dead to sing thy praises - even the ghosts of Auschwitz whom were freed by thy non-existent uncle shall rejoice. May thy parents who met four years after thee was born be proud
all praise, all praise
Amen - Hillsfar, on 05/29/2008, -2/+4Unlike Bush (son and grandson of wealthy East Coast Elites and Yale "C" graduate with a Texas accent), McCain (son and grandson of admirals, bottom of his class, crasher of 5 planes), Obama will actually manage to carry off that pose.
- cathars1s, on 06/04/2008, -0/+2FYI, so you don't make your fellow Obama supporters look bad in future, John McCain's cheek looks like that because he had melanoma.
- runnerzwrld, on 05/30/2008, -3/+5Obama is a manipulator, nothing more.
- HellDonut, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3Here's a hint: it won't. It's funny.
- sigg14, on 05/29/2008, -2/+4he has to practice a look? wtf isn't that called acting? man obama sure saw all you idiots coming lmao
- theone3, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2"This isn't university - this is the internet." - Al Gore, 1826
- theone3, on 05/29/2008, -2/+3Your fellow Obama supporters are laughing along with everyone else.
I support Obama, but all politicians do this. If you really believe that Obama is beyond reproach, then you need a reality check. -
