This picture of presidential hopeful Barack Obama doing pull-ups in Missoula, MT was taken by the photographer Callie Shell for Time magazine last April. I like it! Shell has snapped an entire collection of wistful shots of the great black/white Hope from Illinois, some grand and sweeping, others mundanely human. Just like those ones of his rival, John McCain!

Do you think Cindy ever gets a moment like that? Or that she even wants it anymore, if she ever wanted or had it? It makes me a little sad for her.

Renegade and Renaissance. I love them.

Dagnabit I got emotional looking at those. My recently visited my family and my mother kept harping on how skinny he was and how he must be ill.

@CeCeF1: Nah, he's just a bean pole. He always has been.

That bar looks like it's 15 feet up in the air, how the fuck did he get up there? Did Biden give him a boost?

@Calraigh: It works for me. And by works, I mean makes my nose feel that weird twinge one gets when they get teary-eyed.
