    from restaurant reviewer to the president of the US in 7 short years. can't wait until he gets in there and starts to organize!



  19. 19

    wow this really proves Obama will be a great leader! So what if all of his friends are radicals, terrorists, aand felons. So what if he started his political career in corruption capitol Chicago. So what if he has nothing to say while war is errupting in Gaza. etc etc

    Hi Perez. This has nothing to do with this treat, but i just wanted you to know that Fever Ray (Karin Dreijjer from The Knife) first music video is out on the web. It's amazing. You should post that vid on her, instead of this. A lot of the music videoes you post here sucks! So please put it up, it's stunning!!



  21. 21

    Thanks Obama for the most scandal-ridden transition in U.S. history! "Richardson misled us", "I had no contact with the governor", that's right Barry under the bus they go while you stay pure and untouched.

    I like this show it airs on the PBS channel in Chicago.



  23. 23

    You people on here are so gullible, you support the most corrupt president-elect so blindly and willingly if Obama told you to drink the kool aid you would! Freaking Jonestown Liberals



  24. 24

    Re: Turd_Ferguson – leafy greens, dummy! like spinach, do u ever get out?



  40. 40

    In 2004, Christine Cegelis, a genuine grassroots oriented progressive Democratic candidate for the IL.-6th District, US House of Representative seat, was dumped on by Rahm Emanuel and Obama (the regular Chicago Combine politicians) in favor of Iraq war vet and pro war Democratic candidate, Tammy Duckworth. Duckworth won the primary, but lost the election to a Republican.

    Perez is correct, Obama was an (Illinois) state senator in 2001.

    Re: LordKain – Ahahahaha…..



  42. 42

    What did you suddenly run out of video of Britney's juggs that we have to see this drivel? See Truth According To T o m

    Re: jaysun82 – Who shit in your Cheerios?



  44. 44

    He's so damn cool! I love my new Commander and Chief… Can't wait for Bush's ass to be out that White House!!! Hip Hip Hooray for 1/20/09!!! Yay Barackie!!!



  45. 45

    Re: jaysun82 – Don't be mad honey…. I'm sorry that your pick didn't win. Seems like America knows what they want and went for the BETTER person. I'm sure you have realized that since he has been nominated as president; he has been working on getting things done already. Remember until the 20th we still have BUSH in office and there is not really much that Barack can do. You will be eating your words once Barack is able to actually start doing his job. Hell I'm sure you will be one of the people receiving another fat check due to his stimulus package. You won't be complaining then will you?? GO BARACK!!



  46. 46

    Nice! Adding it to the collection now!

    YourObamaUpdate



  47. 47

    HE'S CHARMING. THE MORE I LEARN ABOUT HIM THE MORE I LIKE HIM. HE'S DOWN HOME…BUT CLASSY, SMOOTH AND SUBTLE..ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I CAN'T EVER PICTURE HIM LOSING HIS COOL. I'M LOOKING FOREWARD TO HIS ADMINISTRATION…AND TO SEE WHAT MICHELLE WEARS TO THE INAGURATION EVENTS.



  48. 48

    OMG- He is so cute!!! I sound like a teeny bopper, but come on just look at him he is hot



  49. 49

    Forget everyone else… look at the homeless lady with the chin ring… get a hairbrush.



  50. 50

    i just think it's funny to hear the president talk about something so pointless as food.



  51. 51

    Jayson, why dont you go suck a big one… Just like its your constitutional right to come on here and bash obama, its ours to come on here and love him. So go finish sucking on what ever dick you had in your mouth and shut the fuck up.



  52. 52

    i'm hungry now.



  53. 53

    freaking love that man =]



  54. 54

    cute. he takes every topic so seriously and analyses everything, but with a smile on his face LOL he gave them a damn speech about not filling up on the hotcakes to prevent from missing out on everything else lmao. he's such a great guy. Now THAT's someone you could have a beer (or rather, cup of coffee/"joe" with) lmao.



  55. 55

    wat a cutie pie !!



  56. 56

    Greetings all of you Haters This man is a Diplomat. He realizes that we all have different views, but we take things personally. We have to come together, not with criticism, but with open minds and acceptance of others opinions and begin to meld that which is best for all. I'm very sad for us all and the state of things. I am one person and can only maintain a personal uplifting attitude, if only to get through each day. So, fuck you haters!



  57. 57

    communist pre terriost days…



  58. 58

    He sounds so presidential, especially when he talks about the peach cobbler.

    He is just so charming and handsome. I could go on, but he's are president (YAH!) so I'll be respectful.



  59. 59

    we have a cute president. wow i can't believe i have a crush on the president LOL



  60. 60

    love barack.



  61. 61

    looove this!!



  62. 62

    hahahaha awesome



  63. 63

    Wait, I'm sorry… He has just been elected president, but 8 years ago he was reviewing restaurants? WTF? And who cares if he's cute? He better do a damn good job in office, that's all i care about. I don't care what Michelle is wearing at the inauguration, and i don't need the details about his kids' first day in school. I just want a good president, who cares about the rest?



  64. 64

    Re: CarolineR – Don't hate!! That is the media talking about Michelle, the kids etc. Not Barack. And yes 8 yrs. ago he was doing this interview reviewing some food and so what??? Bush was getting drunk 8yrs before he became president….. Him being on the show is what alot of politicians and celebrities do in there local towns to promote themselves etc. No need to worry he will be taking care of buisness the minute the inuagaration festivities are over!! Just be Patient…Gosh!!!
