I think Barak Obama is a true dork at heart. To me this is the ideal President. A smart, somewhat dorky looking guy is much more preferable to me than a suave looking idiot. Not that GW is suave.

He’s simply sporty the outfit of the political and economic elite normally reserved for old white men. Symbolically he represents the same issues as those white men. His outfit invokes confidence in corporate executives that he is one of them. Why publicly he is seen on a bicycle so he is for “change”. Just like suave Kennedy who “did not start the Vietnam War”.

O-BAMA! Yes, he’s not so hip, but the guy is a 40-something married guy with two kids. What do you expect? He is supposed to look like a hip grungester? Oh, grunge is so 90s right? I am totally dating myself… I will be quiet now…

In Chicago, seriously, you need to wear a helmet. They are killing bikers right and left over here.

At the risk of sounding like a schoolgirl with a crush, the kid carrier just makes him even more endearing.

@BradyDale it looks like he’s pulling a kid-carrier, one of those two wheeled dealies.

The tucked in polo in the light color jeans doesn’t help diminish his geekiness any either, but… yo, is that a rear fender or a missile defense shield on the back of that thing?

Why would nerds wear jeans? I generally think of us as a cargo-shorts kinda constituency.

Kudos to the B.O. man for riding his bike, but helmet aside, he’s losing major points with those jeans (or maybe he’s just reaching out to the nerd vote).
