Barack Obama Wears a Helmet, Looks Like a D-Bag
If an alien race landed on this planet and spent a few days paying attention to the way we decide our world leaders, I'm pretty sure atomize us into oblivion just to put us out of our misery. And they'd be justified in doing so.
Here's the big news today: Barack Obama rode a bike, wore a helmet, looked like a dork. Granted, he did ride a bike, he did wear a helmet, and he did look like a dork. All of that is undeniable.
Even Obama himself acknowledges that...
"I knew that the [Associated Press] was going to take a picture, and they were trying to portray it like Dukakis wearing that tank helmet," Obama told donors at a $2,300-a-plate fundraiser in Chicago hosted by F.K Day, the president of World Bicycle Relief.
"But I wanted to make sure that the children who saw that picture knew that even the Democratic nominee for president wears a helmet when he goes biking," he said to hearty applause.
Yes, that's an incredibly important message to send to the kids. Bike-related head injuries must ruin the lives of tens of children a year.
But you know what is responsible for more injuries and ruins more children's lives?
Looking like a dork.

dude. Obama is still extreamly sexy even with a helmet on. That man looks good in any picture he takes. We need more fan service! Get some more pics!
Really these dresses are lovely and beautiful.
I think these dresses are very hot. Thanks a lot. : lol:
Where's his latte cup holder?

This is, by far, the dumbest article I've read. Instead of reaching for material, leave a white space. You'd be better off in the end.
I'm not sure about the dork/helmet safety stats breakdown - I suffered from both as a child. I'm glad Obama made the call he did on the helmet, though he could still use some help with his casual clothes wardrobe decisions. He's very "Dad" in that regard. I bet he wears trouser socks with shorts.
Can't wait to have a dork in the White House instead of a moron. As long as it doesn't mean another "Revenge of the Nerds" movie - those guys are all old and like balding and pudgy now. I don't want to see what they've been up to, with or without helmets.
I think he looks hot. He's all safe and running for president and shit.
Cubby, are you kidding? I stood with you all the way through "thunder thighs-gate." I appreciate CC humor. But. Have you evern seen a child on a bike? Ever seen a car? Know even the most rudimentary physics? Ever been to an emergency room?
This was lame. You ought to update and backtrack.
Slightly more than tens....Here's some statistics: http://www.helmets.org/stats.htm
Ninety-five percent of bicyclists killed in 2006 reportedly weren't wearing helmets; 730 of the 770 deaths. So looking like a dork causes much more damage than not wearing a helmet, if by "more" you mean "less."
I'm proud of Obama's promotion of bicycle safety. Not wearing a helmet to look cool is why Pres. Bush has no cognitive skills whatsoever.
