Let me take a moment to gush over President Obama’s sex appeal because honestly, I’m confident in my being equal to if not better than any man as far as my eye can see and at the same time, that walking away from the bed in board shorts picture in Hawaii STILL worries what hormones I have left into a knot, Bad MF that I find him to be. Yet, I know Bad MFism includes wits, all of which are about him, imho. I can appreciate both.

But I take your point, Pilgrim Soul. It’s not exactly appropriate. I think it’s more a collective sigh of relief that one can no longer imagine the president in some skeezy bar smirking at you, chewing gum with his front teeth, with his hand on your ass. The sexual glorification will pass. Not with me, but everywhere else. It’ll pass.

Now I have to get the picture of GWB in his flight bondage suit out of my brain. Please, a little warning next time!

The giggling enthusiasm for Jon Favreau on Jez turned my stomach, too. The flip side is the criticism of Clinton’s outfits, voice, haircuts, and figure by Obama supporters that I heard throughout the primaries and on since then. It didn’t all come from fratty white dudes, though. It came from all sorts of self-described feminists and liberals. It’s the reason I stopped reading and commenting on Racialicious.

Gag. Unfortunately the Republicans don’t have much going for them in the hotness department, so he somehow qualified.

@Mkp: ZOMG, Beau Biden is so hot! Married, but still–totally delish (and hair-plug free, unlike his old man).

It was crazy when Palin was in the race too (BARF).
Privately I don’t think it’s an issue.

Perhaps its because I don’t find the president all that insanely attractive, but I’m more interested in, you know, policy. Especially policy that may assist me going back to working five days a week instead of four, makes going to the doctor less of a pain in the ass, gives me a firmer grip on my reproductive rights, and gives me a chance of actually getting paid the same as my male colleagues. I’d much rather read articles about that than Barack Obama’s abs.

Glad to see its not just me.
