LIFE: Barack O'Dreamy?

















The clip of Barack Obama dancing to Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" on Ellen DeGeneres' show sparked a round of emails from you guys about the presidential candidate as sex symbol. Most of you think he's hot (one friend even began crying when she spotted him at a fundraiser making Barack a hybrid of JFK, the Beatles and Denzel Washington), many of you also question why he's sexualized in the media (see Radar magazine's recent cover). Here's a few soundbites from our inbox:

"He's the new McDreamy!"

"Have you seen [that recent] cover of Radar magazine? They recreated the Vanity Fair cover with Tom Ford, Scarlett Johanson, and Keira Knightley and I was really offended that Obama was Photoshopped to be Keira lying in a sexually suggestive position. The political science/Africana studies major in me might be oversensitive, but I hate the way they are sexualizing him everywhere from that Obama girl video to this cover."

"I so want him to be my next President. He's smooth like cream"
