Thanks.

The whole context of this photo is different from the Clinton one, not that it really matters. Anyway, this is a stupid non-story. Please don’t tell me that we’ll be seeing the young lady on _Dancing with the Stars_ soon…

Wow, those shots are not that much alike after all.

I like this one better: [Obama giving some blonde mom a thrill](http://www.richardbradley.net/shotsinthedark/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/capta6924df0d80a4ee7ad9591a018a17533obama_2008_ohjh104.jpg)

No, you are not like Glen Beck, the Drudge report is like Glen Beck. You are just a guy who fell for it.

For some it is quantity not quality.

Oh, I dunno…Purely subjetive of course, but I happen to think Michelle Obama\* is\* kinda hot. And I thought Laura Bush was kinda cute too. Sigh…guess I’m showing my age here…

He’s hugging, like, five people in that picture. Are we to believe that our president is having orgiastic relations with his citizens?

If so, awesome.

Shit, man! He’s the president! He gets hugged more than most teddy bears!

Seriously, though, this may be the funniest OP ever. I just don’t think it was intended that way.

We’ve had better. There was a guy that posted that Bill Clinton had sex with underage girls.

His proof? Jack Stanton, the lead character in the novel _Primary Colors_, had sex with an underage girl. Stanton was based on Bill Clinton. Therefore Clinton must have had sex with an underage girl.

Sure. And Hillary looked good in some pictures too. But Jacqueline Kennedy was hotter than all three of them put together, and JFK still went out for some Marilyn on the side.

I think all this proves is that Matt Drudge can’t even get a hug. If we can get some moderately attractive woman (preferably in Ugly Betty glasses, since that might be a fetish of his) to hug him–and in public, so he doesn’t have to convince his friends he’s not making it up–the world will be a better place.

Drudge is gay. That’s pretty well known.
