Great post and picture but you and I both know the haters will be here and try to spin it around and make the Sturgis Buffalo Chip Orgy offer about Michell and Barack.

I believe the poster is offering a counter balance to the antics of Senator McCain at Sturgis offering his wife up for the Miss Buffalo Chip competition. There are those who need reassurance after the shocking videos making the rounds of the actual competition and the thought of our next first lady participating in the various contests like bikini, wet t shirt and bananna eating etc. If you condone the McCain offering Cindy up to gather votes then that is your choice. However I believe the OP wanted to go down a different path. We all know the twisters will try to spin this some other way with their words and posting of other pictures. However this wholesome picture is there for those who want to see.

I agree. I look forward to John and Cindy magazine cover portraits. Im sure there are some around somewhere, all these campaigns over the years.

The Obamas look cute by the way OP!

I dont really like/support McCain, but I think this picture is as good...I dont see any difference. All VERY superficial though.

Im sorry but I cant help it. - this looks like it was taken at a "Welcome to Virginia" Visitor Center. Love those hard, cold, brick and metal surfaces. And the "road to nowhere" perspective of the trees in the backdrop photo.

Do you have any pictures of him with his earlier wife and children? His First Family if you will.

Again, all very superficial...but if you want to play that game, what about the giant white pillars/columns and big iron security fence behind Obama and family?

I dont have other pictures of McCain because I dont care to bother, I was simply trying to prove that this is all superficial and has nothing to do with who might be a better leader...its pure and simple that people want this to be a popularity contest just like American Idol.

Sad the kids have these two dishonest liars for parents. Wonder what kind of values the kids are being taught (if taught at all)? Wonder if the kids are picking up their values from Ludacris or Snoop Dogg?

I don't think this thread was about a picture making a better leader. I think it was in response to the McCain Strugis Miss Buffalo Chip videos and how that relates to his views on gender respect etc.
